MY REVIEW
There's something about a good psychological thriller that hooks me nearly every time. In this story we follow Kate who is a child psychologist. Initially, we see her treating a younger teenager girl who is obviously unhappy. Although this is not the main story line, I thought it was really interesting and added a lot to the story to see Kate in her 'day to day life', watching how she copied with issues that arose. When you discover what had happened to her sister, it makes it more surprising that Kate ended up being a child psychologist but equally not surprising at all.. I just wondered how she copied with dealing with what she had to deal given her personal circumstances.
For me, the best part of this story was the element of suspense and the 'who done it' style. Right from the beginning you know that something happened to Kate's sister in the past but not sure what. As the story goes on and you discover more and more I was constantly on the look out for the 'baddies' or 'baddy'.
A truly gripping thriller that I could not put down.
