This is an intriguing read that certainly lives up to its designation as a psychological thriller.
All characters are well developed enabling the reader to visualise and comprehend each. While detesting some they will take to others but will often find reason to question the accuracy of their sentiments. Most will be able to empathise with the protagonist who faces many bewildering ‘challenges’ and may often wonder how she manages to keep going.
The story is set within the usual day-to-day routines of most households however, what in many circumstances could come across as mundane and consequently boring for the reader, are anything but. This attests to the author’s unique ability to bring life to all her stories whether adventure, memoir, or thriller. Lucinda is indeed an excellent author.
The reader will find themselves constantly developing theories and then re-developing them as the tale progresses. This makes the book a lively read that retains interest and curiosity. In some ways the reader wishes to be proven right but would also find it disappointing to be so proven. The book does not disappoint in its ability to keep the guessing going up to, and past, the end.
Indeed, though there is some resolution it is not entirely complete and definitely leaves the reader with anticipation for a sequel. That is not to say there is no satisfaction in the ending although it would probably be more accurate to call it an intermission.
Five stars (5*).
Available in paperback and digital (e-book) formats.

Tanya what a lovely surprise and thank you so much. I am glad you enjoyed Leah’s story and you are right! There will be a follow on story this time from Andrea’s point of view. It will answer any questions readers may have. The delay is due to my globe trotting for 3 months but I am itching to start writing again. Thank you again.

Lucinda is a very good author Amy. I hope you enjoy this books as much as I did. It is intriguing and opens up for a follow on that I suspect will be just as engaging.
