Paige Dawson: the mother of a murdered child and wife to a dead man.
She has nothing left to live for… until she finds her husband’s handgun hidden in their house.
Why did Ryan need a gun? What did he know about their daughter’s death?
Desperate for the truth, Paige begins to unearth her husband’s secrets.
But she has no idea who she is up against, or that her life isn’t hers to gamble – she belongs to me.
My thoughts: This was a dark and twisted read, it seemed to be going in one direction, and then veered off somewhere unexpected and far more sinister.
Paige’s daughter was kidnapped ten years ago and all that was found was her left arm, and then her husband recently committed suicide. She’s drinking too much, trading sex for drugs with her GP, and struggling to hold her life together.
Things keep happening to her – her husband’s clothes disappear, her daughter’s room is cleared. She’s positive it isn’t her doing this, but who else could it be?
Thankfully her brother, a vicar, is available to offer her support and a hot meal when she hasn’t eaten. But his support might come at a terrible price.
The plot seems like it might be about Paige following up on her late husband’s attempts to hire a hit man, to find out who he suspected of their daughter’s abduction and murder. But then it goes, way, way off from that plot into disturbing places.
If you like your crime thrillers twisted and dark, this is one for you.
