Review

The twin Sisters were once close, until boarding school changed them, changed everything. Now one lies dead with multiple stab wounds; the other locked in the infirmary accused of her murder with a large lump on her head and a foggy memory... sure she had a fight with her Sister but that doesn't mean she would kill the only family she had left - would she? how could she? 

This novel is gripping from the start, I read the first two pages in a bookshop whilst waiting for a friend.... but I couldn't put it down, I was hooked - so naturally I had to buy it! I loved the structure of this novel, it combines present day, with police interviews and the past. Drip feeding the reader the lead up to the crime revealing the who, how, what and whys along the way. Maintaining the intrigue though out, Campbell keeps the twists coming right until the very last pages. This is a must read for fans of Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐
