'Enjoyably twisty ... with a killer ending' i 'I couldn't put it down' Sophie Hannah It's been nineteen years since ten-year-old Laurel was given a life sentence and six-year-old Rosie was given a new identity. The sisters were the very picture of innocence: two little girls who loved to listen to their mother's bedtime stories and play make-believe in the garden. But then an act of unparalleled horror tears their family apart, leaving Laurel behind bars and Rosie moved to a different part of the country. Neither sister has laid eyes on the other since then, during which time their lives have followed very different paths. But now – with Laurel coming up for parole – they look set to be reunited in court, and the world will be watching...

3.5 stars. Hillier was my favourite character. It was well written, but about as thrilling as a walking past a haunted house in broad daylight. You know it's supposed to be creepy, but you blink and you've already forgotten about it. The last two chapters were quite disturbing, but I guessed most of the plot twists right from the beginning and I feel like they could have been woven in better. Also, multiple POVs watered it down. I gave it 3.5 because I do think it's well written, just not a thriller, more a mystery.
