It's not always the length of time that's important.....sometimes you just know.

Suspenseful and unforgettable family drama!

My auto-read author does it again! Sally Hepworth knows how to open her story and pulls you in with an unknown voice at a psychiatrist! Needless to say, she keeps you guessing the identity of this person and how it all ties up with the story until a very twisty ending.

Families come in many different forms. In the case of Jessica, Norah, and Alicia, the three "sisters" grew up together under the care of Miss Fairchild at Wild Meadows farming estate. Sounds like an ideal place to grow up? Far from it, their foster mother, Miss Fairchild is nothing but strict and disturbing.

Twenty-five years later, the home is sold and then torn down when bones are found...

I enjoy dual-timeline stories and find that Hepworth does this so well. The three MCs are different and easy to remember. There's a good mix of suspense, friendship, and sisterhood. Highly recommend this on audio read by the talented Jessica Clarke.

Thank you Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for the ALC.
