For myself and Lauren, my 10-year-old daughter No3 Beech Close was to be our refuge after two years of hell nursing my sick mother.
In need of a fresh start and wanting to distance ourselves from the bad memories of my mother’s house we moved to Beech Close, a small cul-de-sac of six houses situated around a picture-perfect green.
It seemed perfect but I had underestimated the secrets that this tightknit community shared.
Within hours of moving in my next-door neighbour Valerie made it abundantly clear we were not welcome.
I soon discovered that Valerie hadn’t welcomed the previous occupant either and she’d since disappeared without a trace.
Had I put myself and my daughter in danger moving to Beech Close?
Which neighbours, if any could I trust?
And how far would they go to keep their secret?
My Opinion
Twisted
If you are looking for a thrilling ride this year, then grab a copy of the book. The author, definitely, does not disappoint you. An engrossing plot with some secretive characters is just the thing for thriller lovers. Also, the author gives you an insight of Dementia and how it affects families which was a different experience for me. The characters are just fabulous. You need not to wait for something to happen, as with every page there are lots of twists and turns. So, be ready for a thrilling ride with the book.
Definitely, 5 stars for the book. Thanks to Netgalley and Rachels Random Resources for providing me an opportunity to be a part of the blog tour.
