I look down at her, lying fast asleep - always my little girl, and so beautiful.
She gives a low moan as her head turns restlessly on the pillow. It reminds me of the soft growl of a cornered animal.
Where is my poor child? What is she dreaming?
People always notice my daughter, Isobel. How could they not? Incredibly beautiful... until she speaks. An unsettling, little-girl voice, exactly like a child's, but from the mouth of a full-grown woman. Izzie might look grown-up, but inside she's trapped. Caught in the day it happened - the day that broke her from within.
I know why my daughter is the way she is. There's nothing I could have done to save her... is there?
An unputdownable psychological thriller about families and secrets,
perfect for fans of
Gone Girl
, Shalini Boland and Lisa Jewell.

'I've just finished
and am
absolutely blown away
...
A dark and mysterious book
it creeped me out when I was reading late at night! I
loved every second of this book.
It was
utterly compelling
. The characters perfectly constructed, the
secrets brilliantly revealed
. An excellent read,
perfect for these cold, dark evenings!
' Vikki Patis, author of
The Diary
dives right in
... I'm
very impressed
with Lucy Dawson's books...
I had no idea where things were going
and no idea how it would all end. There are a couple of
big surprises
and at least one
genuinely chilling
scene...
Highly recommended
and I can't wait to see what Lucy Dawson does next.' Goodreads Reviewer,
