. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes psychological thrillers. The story is mainly told from Ellen's (the mother) point of view and as a mother myself I could understand why she got to the pointed of obsession after a terrible accident involving her son and his friend. This makes Ellen a very relatable character and despite her extreme emotions and reactions, there is something very authentic in her character.

Throughout the plot, it is clear that she is continually teetering on the edge of jumping into the void that Lucas’s death has left. Overall a brilliantly twisty thriller demonstrating what an obsessive mother will do to protect her children that is tense and gripping throughout. This novel questions how far we would go to protect our children and what it would take for our moral compass to become misplaced or broken.

)I loved the characters in the book and it was interesting to read from Ellen's viewpoint. As a father, I found this novel to be extremely thought provoking and I continually questioned what I would do in this situation. I always find that Candlish’s novels can be read of multiple levels.

that will be up to you. I couldn’t understand why he was so keen to go along with Ellen’s plans until I read his own point of view and then it all started to make sense.
