In this moment to know the truth is all Kate wants.īecause she does not yet know that it will tear her family apart.ĪBOUT 'THE FALL': She promised she wouldn’t tell.

With thanks to NetGalley and especially to HQ for the much appreciated arc in return for an honest review.ĮXCERPT: 'I promise we are going to find out who hurt you,' she whispers to her daughter. Overall though, the author sure knows how to pull a reader into her plot maze and keep your eyes super glued to the pages!! It is without question an immersive easy read page turner but at times I find the short staccato sentences grate and one or two things are maybe too dragged out.

There’s maybe a bit too much drama on occasion but what that achieves is to set you off going down blind alleys as you try to figure things out and I do enjoy that! The plot is certainly packed with incident and so it’s a never a dull moment read. It becomes apparent as revelations emerge a bit at a time, that many characters are concealing serious things and there’s a great deal of pain and hurt in several directions. There’s a growing threat too and so danger levels rise. There’s a building sense of claustrophobia which combined with several characters despair adds another level to the storytelling. The farm provides a really good, atmospheric backdrop to the unravelling of lives. There is much to enjoy in Louise Jensen’s latest psychological thriller. This tears apart the whole family as a multitude of secrets bubble up to the surface. Where are they? Why does Caily end up in hospital in a coma following a fall from a bridge into rocks below? There are so many inconsistencies and question marks about Caily’s injuries the police don’t believe it’s an accident. The following afternoon the twins daughters Caily and Tegan miss a dress rehearsal for the school performance of La La Land with Caily taking the leading role. They seem a really tight unit but looks can be deceptive. Twins Kate and Beth have just turned forty and the family hold a surprise party in one of the barns at the farm.
