She had lived a lie for the last thirteen years, and this has been the outcome for the perfect life as she has known is about to change forever.
Everyone remembered Sara and Shannon Carter, the little blond haired sisters. Their Dad was the local GP and they lived in a very beautiful house on the hill, and their best friend Brinley Booth lived next door. They would do anything for each other but everything shifted on that fateful day when Dr Richard Carter and his wife Pamela were both stabbed 14 times with a pair of scissors in what the most talked about double murder of the modern age.
The girls were aged ten and twelve at the time that this murder happened. One of them quickly becomes known as the Angel of Death and spends 8 years in the children's secure unit accused of the brutal murders. The other one lived in foster care out of the limelight and all of the prying questions. Now the anniversary of the trial, a team of investigators have made a documentary and has tracked down one of the sisters and persuaded her to speak of the events that happened on the fateful night for the first time in 13 years. The explosive interview sparks a light in the national headlines and Brinley Booth, now a journalist herself, is tasked with covering the story which starts to bring fresh evidence and triggers a course of events which will have devastating consequences for all of the people involved.
Well, unless you know Fiona Cummins writing then you do not know what you are in for and boy did i not know what i was in for. I found myself drawn in and my heart thumped for the full length of the book and not knowing where the story was going to go. I read this book in 36 hours and i am glad that i read this in 2 sittings helping me to maintain the pace of the writing style. I did not think that Fiona Cummins held back and used hard hitting language to bring the story home. I also felt that I was a fly on the wall and was in the room when the events were happening. I definitely could not see the twist and turns that this novel was going to go however when reading she gave little snippets and clues on the outcome of this story. This is definitely a book for the lovers of thrillers.
