Welcome to Litsy!

I don‘t read many thrillers, so this was fun to read. Eva wakes up one day and is told that she‘s been in a serious accident, but she doesn‘t remember anything about it including who was driving the truck when they crashed. And why are her parents being so secretive and keeping her locked in the attic of their house? There were several twists that kept this book surprising, and the setting of Norway is beautifully described.

It took me a little while to get into this story, maybe a third of the way through it, but when I did I found it really rather gripping! It‘s quite an intense read. The unease mounts up beautifully and I was eager to pick the book up each time I had a spare moment to read on. I loved the setting. The descriptions of the landscape were very vividly depicted and it was easy to visualise. A well written and engrossing psychological thriller.

Isabel Ashdown‘s writing really conveys Eva‘s confusion and her state of mind while she tries to remember everything…..the tension is slowly building with plenty of twists to keep you turning the pages……just what is happening? And how is this linked to Maxine in London?
