Terrified…

Arrietty wakes one morning to find her mother gone. Turning to her father for reassurance, she gets the terrifying sense that he - and others - are hiding a crime too dreadful to name.

Trapped…

Confined to the house on the cliff, Arrietty worries for the safety of her brother as her father becomes increasingly unstable and unpredictable.

Truth…

Arrietty’s hunt for answers plunges her into a nightmarish fight for survival that leads her to the most awful secret of all.

My Opinion

Twisted......................

Arrietty by Abby Davies is a women psychological fiction. The plot develops very slowly hinting you about the mystery here and there. But the action happens after a few pages. The author has tried to develop the characters in a very intricate way. At first the story will give you a feel of a simple story and Arrietty's character is a fabulous one. And, the real thrill starts when you are near the climax. For me it is one of the books for which you need to have patience to enjoy it.

Definitely 4 stars for the book. Thanks to Random Things Tours for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book.
