Now on to my thoughts
 I was so happy when I saw this book because I've read other books by Karen King and loved them, her writing never let's me down , it's has the right mixture of suspense, twist and turns, as well as how she Portrays her characters.  And I loved how with each page we got to see though the eyes of a different character , thoughts as well as what they was feeling doing that time , plus this book made me second guess myself more then once with how I was feeling towards the characters themselves , and made me ask myself did I really trust any of them but at the same time it made me sad for the one who nobody wanted to believe. 




Book Description:

My darling son is accused of attacking the girl next door. He would never do this… Would he?

I have the perfect family: my loving, devoted partner. Our sons, so thoughtful and affectionate despite their teenage angst. But everything changes when our friendly neighbours move in.

Their daughter Rachel is so pretty and bubbly. Her giggles float over our garden fence. I can see our boys are falling for her, fighting for her affection.

Then Rachel falls from her bedroom window. Her life is hanging in the balance. And to my horror, her parents think my son Jacob pushed her.

I know my sensitive son would never do such a thing, but he is hiding something. A mother always knows, doesn’t she? And who is spreading nasty rumours in our neighbourhood about me and my partner, about history repeating itself?

Then I find Rachel’s broken sunflower necklace in my home, and my world falls apart. It’s unbearable, but I must face the truth. Someone’s child is fighting for their life. And someone in my family hurt her.

With Rachel at death’s door, is Jacob in terrible danger too? And how far will I have to go to protect him?

A totally unputdownable and thrilling psychological suspense novel with a gasp-out-loud twist. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Clare Mackintosh and K.L. Slater.
