first book by this author, and I loved it , it 
was slow at first ,but man did it pick up, and every time I tried to put it down I just couldn't,  it made me questioning every thing I thought I knew or was finding out about these characters.  As well as made it hard for me to trust any of them.What more could I ask for in a book that I read in a day :Complex family/psychological drama,secrets, lies, murder, 


Book Description:
My father said my mother killed herself. My sister says he’s lying.The day of our mother’s funeral, my little sister Lucy and I clung to our father’s side. He promised he’d get us through it, and we believed him. But then I discovered that the coffin we wept over was empty.Dad says he was trying to protect us – that he thought it would be easier to grieve if we didn’t know our mother’s body was never found.His new wife says she just wants to help us move on from the past.Then Lucy has a flash of memory that leaves her shaking. Our father. A woman she doesn’t recognise. A knife…She insists she knows something about the day our mother died, but it’s buried too deep to see clearly.What happened to our mother? I need to find the truth. But I have no idea who I can trust. And what if the answer puts my life in danger?A completely gripping psychological thriller that will make your heart pound as you try to decide who is telling the truth. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Paula Hawkins and Gillian Flynn.

Author Bio:
Julia started off as a theatre director and playwright. While her children were growing up, she swerved into graphic design. After writing and illustrating two children’s books for an MA, she discovered that her great love was writing prose. The picture books were deemed too dark for publication, so, to save the children, she turned instead to writing for adults. Her first book, Cuckoo, was published in 2011, and she has been writing what she calls her Domestic Noir novels ever since. She also writes for TV and teaches on the Crime Writing MA at the University of East Anglia. She has three grown up children and lives in Brighton with her husband and two cats, Keith and Sandra.
