About:
Ask no questions. Tell no lies. The utterly compelling new novel from the bestselling author of Other People’s Houses
Lindsay just wants to be a mother. And when she discovers her partner is leaving her for another woman, her dreams are left in tatters. He was her last chance at a family … or was he?
Then she meets Jack, they fall hard for each other, and suddenly everything seems perfect. But why is his sister Natalie so strangely protective of him, yet eager to pass the responsibility to Lindsay? Who are these siblings, why did they really leave the UK, and what terrifying secrets lie in their past?
And does Lindsay really want to know?
My Review:
Lindsay is desperate for a baby with her partner but he keeps moving the goal posts. Innocently Lindsay doesn’t see the red flags until it is too late.
Enter Natalie, a woman on a mission to live her own life without the burden of her little brother Jack. It is not that she doesn’t love Jack it is the need to protect him that weighs her down. Looking for a suitable person to take Jack on, Lindsay vulnerable and desperate is like lamb to the slaughter.
Whilst Jack is unstable at times, Natalie is cool calm and posed, but then she has had to be, the journey her and her brother have taken to get to a new life has been hard won but not without bloodshed along the way.
Lindsay is a sitting duck and Jack an innocent bystander right up until the end Kelli Hawkins keeps you guessing.
