My Rating (out of 5)
⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2
This book is all the things a thriller should be - dark, twisty and full of unexpected shifts..
Suicide? Think Again.
Anna Johnson lost both her parents mere months apart. After her father's plunge from the cliffs of nearby Beachy Head, it is only months before her mother is also reported to have gone over the chalky cliff's edge in an apparent "copy-cat suicide".
Anna does not believe her parents committed suicide, and with the one year anniversary of her mother's death upon her, trying to navigate the early days of motherhood without her own mother makes her feel the loss more keenly. Anna decides she must know what really happened to her parents. But when Anna starts to push for answers, someone is pushing hard for her to stop looking.
This story is tight! The reader is constantly turning the story over in their mind, adding new clues and trying to make it all fit. It does fit, and by the end, it fits so well, the reader can barely see the seams.
Narration for this audiobook was performed by Gemma Whelan. Clear with great tone and cadence, able to deliver a range of characters and emotions, I cannot imagine a better fit for this book.
MacIntosh was a "new to me" author going into this book, but while this was the first of her books for me, I know it won't be the last.
