Reviewed by Dr Malini BhatA gripping, emotional thriller that keeps you questioning everything you think you know. Gillian McAllister masterfully blends suspense with deep character exploration, making the story feel both intense and personal. The slow reveals and moral grey areas kept me hooked till the end. Not just a mystery — it’s a powerful story about love, guilt, and survival. Highly recommended for fans of thoughtful, character-driven thrillers.
