Synopsis:

Jessica James had the perfect life. She had a good job, supportive friends, and her husband Geoff and her son Jack both adored her. Everything changed the moment she found out she was having another child.
Now she’s a stay at home mum, they have barely enough money coming in, Jack is a troubled ten-year-old and she feels there’s an insurmountable divide between her and her husband. Worse still, her feelings towards her youngest son are just wrong. Does her recent diagnosis of postpartum depression explain these feelings or is something more sinister going on?
The unthinkable occurs when baby Jason is found dead in his cot. At the time of his death, Geoff is away on a camping trip. Now Jessica finds herself accused of murder and is vilified by all those who once claimed to love her. As the evidence mounts against her, Jessica must come to terms with the fact that she may well have had something to do with her baby’s death.
When a second tragedy rocks the James family, Jessica’s world quickly unravels, and she spirals into darkness. Meanwhile, Victorian Detectives Hunter and Cooper investigate the infant’s homicide but are left with more questions than answers.
By the time they get to the bottom of this mystery, will there be anyone left of the James family to save?

Review:

This was thrilling

A real YA thriller.

I liked this. There was great twists and turns, dark cobwebs of a story and the intent to be amazing. Though the plot draws you in and the ‘must find out what happens’ factor takes over you, I think the book needed more depth to the characters. I didn’t mind them memorable, or feel for them as the story grew around them.

For a filled with betrayal, chilling trails and a winding depth to it, the characters lacked. This would have been fantastic with a little more character detail.

I believe that Kristy is an author that you need to keep an eye on, I doubt this is where her talent ends,  rather this is just the beginning.

Rating: 3.5/5
