My review -
Kate
is still grieving for the loss of one of her twin daughters to cancer, a
circumstance which destroyed the dregs of an ailing marriage. She meets Mark
who comes to make shelves for her new cottage. He has experienced the loss of
his partner Emma’s young son in a house-fire for which Emma blames him because
he slipped out for a few minutes to the shops and that was when the fire broke
out. Then children die in fires up and down the country – wherever Mark is. He
knows he is in the frame. Can Emma believe him?
The
story touches on guilt, family rivalry – Kate’s sister is a detective working
on the cases – friendship, loyalty and love. Kate’s husband reappears to insist
on taking his daughter out at weekends and also, to Kate’s horror, refusing to
allow her to be alone in Mark’s care. It’s an interesting study in why people
fall apart and what helps to pull them back together to remake their lives. I
enjoyed this story which is a thriller with a psychological edge. Highly
recommended.
I received
an advance copy of this book for review purposes.
