A series of events cause Emma to question her own sanity but is she going mad or are there darker forces at play?
As her marriage, her job and her friendships begin to disintegrate it forces Emma's behaviour to become even more erratic and she becomes increasingly desperate to understand what is happening and to prove that she's not going mad. Or is she?
This is a really gripping read which I found difficult to put down. The author deftly and skilfully builds up the tension so much so that Emma's desperation is viscerally palpable and has you rapidly turning the pages.
It's a dark, sinister and creepy read that literally crackles with tension right until the very end. This is the first book I've read by this author and it won't be the last!
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I think the epilogue was needed for me to have the feeling of a completed story, and I have downloaded another Pinborough novel!
Isn't, hasn't, did....
This book gave me insomnia. I had to stay up to continue reading I really did. I needed to know what was going to happen and it was giving nothing away.
It was so unpredictable I could not work it out.
Such a well written novel it was just unputdownable.
The full five stars from me highly recommended.
