Joanne didn’t believe that her life could become worse than it already was. She had lost everybody and everything she had loved. She was alone. Surely she had suffered enough? The press had called her identical twins psychopaths. Her Maggie. Her Annie. But she still loved them, even though one of them had killed her husband, Jeff. Joanne believed that his murder had been an accident. How could one of her girls be a murderer? She knew them better than anybody else. They were good girls really.

She just had to prove it.

The brutal murder of her god-daughter Laura had never been solved. Items were missing when Laura’s remains had been discovered: clues that could lead to the capture of her killer. One of them was Laura’s doll … the doll that Joanne later discovered in her home. Joanne is facing the most horrific dilemma of her life. Has the wrong woman been imprisoned? Could her child have used such brutality against her best friend? Or could both women be innocent after all?

She needs to find somebody for her daughter to confide in; somebody she will trust. She needs a miracle. There is only one person who can help. He is compassionate and caring, with an amazing ability to gain the trust of the most difficult patients. He is Joanne’s only hope. He is Jonathan Davies.

My Review

Holy… Can I just leave my review with that one word because that about sums up this hot mess!

This book is written in the form of first person as they main characters – Joanne, Maggie, and Annie – write in “diaries”. Each “chapter” is started with someone writing an entry in their diary and this is how we go about reading. (It really wasn’t hard to follow and actually gave us quite the insight.)

I couldn’t put the book down. I wanted to keep going. It really was like watching a train crash where you can’t look away. You had to know what was coming next.

It’s hard to share a review without giving anything away because it really is a roller coaster of a book that you have to read to know each character and attempt to understand the hot mess that is in their head.

This is the first I have read anything by this author, but I intend on checking out more of her work. If all of her books are as good as this one; she has found herself a new fan!
