There’s the obvious story. And then there’s the truth.
 
Alex lives a comfortable life with his wife Beth in the leafy suburb of Silver Vale. Fine, so he’s not the most outgoing guy on the street, he prefers to keep himself to himself, but he’s a good husband and an easy-going neighbour.
 
That’s until Beth announces the creation of a nature trail on a local site that’s been disused for decades and suddenly Alex is a changed man. Now he’s always watching. Questioning. Struggling to hide his dread . . .
 
As the landscapers get to work, a secret threatens to surface from years ago, back in Alex’s twenties when he got entangled with a seductive young woman called Marina, who threw both their lives into turmoil.
 
And who sparked a police hunt for a murder suspect that was never quite what it seemed.
 
And it still isn’t.

My Thoughts:

Louise’s books always have a way of pulling the reader in from the first page and this book was exactly the same. I liked the sound of the plot and I couldn’t wait to be captivated by this intriguing sounding story. I was excited to learn more about the residents in Silver Vale and why after a nature trail on a local site is being made why all of a sudden is Alex started to become shifty and unlike himself. What does he have to hide? we see the story unravelling and Alex becoming more fret through out the rest of the story. I was enthralled with this story and did not want to put it down. With Louise’s books you can always expect a top notch thriller that will pull you in.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
