Sometimes the past comes back to haunt you.
Louise Leighton’s life has fallen apart, all because of one fateful night. Her husband is an adulterer, her sister is his mistress, and soon, Louise will lose everything she owns. But she never imagined she would lose her daughter.
Eighteen-year-old Brooke Leighton is missing. It’s up to Louise and the Metropolitan Police to find her. Has Brooke run away? Or has she been taken against her will? And can Louise aid the investigation without mentioning the night where all of her troubles began?
If she mentions that night, she will incriminate her daughter for heinous crimes. But if she doesn’t, she may never find Brooke; and if she has been abducted, the person who took her may come for Louise, too.
Sometimes the past comes back to kill you.
My thoughts: Louise discovers her husband has been sleeping with her sister and walks out of her life, leaving him, their children and her clients without any explanation. She’s struggling with her own secrets and can’t cope with this news as well.
Someone has started leaving her dead robins at the house in the countryside, she’s freaked out but it gets much worse when daughter Brooke goes missing and she has to tell the police. But she doesn’t reveal the terrible secret that has been tearing her daughter apart and destroying her too.
The night in question is something she just can’t tell anyone, but someone out there knows what happened, someone knows what they did and now Louise and Brooke must pay.
Creepy, chilling and shocking, this is a clever and gripping exercise in suspense, things are revealed slowly, leaving you wondering what Brooke and Louise did and who is watching them. The police are kept in the dark but increasingly aware that something very bad is going on. Unfortunately they’re too late to put a stop to things that have been in motion for a year, and need to be resolved in blood.
