You never know what’s going on behind closed doors…
If you passed it on the street, you’d see an ordinary London townhouse. You might wonder about the people who live there, assume they’re just like you.
But inside a family is trapped in a nightmare. In the kitchen, a man lies dead on the blood-soaked floor. Soon the police will come, and they’ll want answers.
Perhaps they'll believe the family’s version of events – that this man is a murderer who deserved to die.
But would that be the truth? [Goodreads]

My Thoughts:
This was my first book by Camilla Way, and I really enjoyed
this story of a family and their secrets. This was such a fast-paced thriller!
You’re immediately thrown into the scene described in the blurb and then taken
back in time to see the events that unfold up to that moment, and what led the
characters there.
It was a very addictive read, full of suspense with a good
mystery at the centre of it. The writing and pace kept me wanting to know what
happened, although I did find myself thinking some of the twists were a bit
much at times. Sometimes it got a bit too far-fetched for my liking, but
equally I didn’t guess what was going to happen. It wrapped up well, and I was
hooked on the rest of the story so that made up for it.
I definitely want to try Way’s other books which I’ve heard
fantastic things about. I think this would really suit you if you’re looking
for a tense, entertaining page-turner.
