About this ebook

'Victoria Selman is an exciting and powerfully fresh voice' Patricia Cornwell

Twelve-year-old Sophie and her mother, Amelia-Rose, move to London from Massachusetts where they meet the charismatic Matty Melgren, who quickly becomes an intrinsic part of their lives. But as the relationship between the two adults fractures, a serial killer begins targeting young women with a striking resemblance to Amelia-Rose.

When Matty is eventually sent down for multiple murder, questions remain as to his guilt -- questions which ultimately destroy both women. Nearly twenty years later, Sophie receives a letter from Battlemouth Prison informing her Matty is dying and wants to meet. It looks like Sophie might finally get the answers she craves. But will the truth set her free -- or bury her deeper?

Do not believe the hype around this book. It's a waste of time and money. The premise is a good one - the execution not so much. It was difficult to distinguish between the two time-lines. The whiney protagonist (Sophie) does nothing no job no friends and only talks to her therapist and her dog. She is wracked with guilt about a secret that she's been keeping for 20 years - it was easy to guess what that was after 20 pages. This is a trick that authors use to keep you interested; it is very annoying! The story goes that her mother had a boyfriend who is a serial killer - they don't know this initially however all the clues are quite blatant that he is up to something dodgy. He eventually is arrested. Sophie loves loves loves him - she was raised by a single mother and this serial killer boyfriend is the only person who "understands" her. Apart from the exasperating Sophie's angst other aspects serve only to annoy and the so called twist at the end makes no sense.
