‘Emily’ is a devoted single mother.
‘Jack’ starts a new job in a new town.
‘Russell’ may be falling in love.

They all share the same secret:
none of them are who they say they are.

They are among only nine criminals in the UK who have been granted lifelong anonymity, for their own safety, because of their terrible crimes.

But what if someone exposed their true identities to the families of their victims, who are desperate for revenge?

Probation officer Olivia Campbell is caught in the crossfire of this unprecedented crisis – and as the hunt for the mole behind it all intensifies, so too does the search for the vigilante killers let loose by the leaks…

Everyone is a suspect. Anyone could be a killer.
Who deserves justice? And who gets to decide?

My Thoughts:

M. J. Arlidge is one of my go to authors and this book was every bit as good as I knew it would be. I loved the sound of the plot line and at the start of the book is the authors note which I would recommend reading. The story is about nine criminals that are all out of prison for one reason or another and it is how they are brought back into a community and how they live their lives, but in this case the families of the victims get to know there whereabouts and have to make a decision what to do with that information. I learnt things from this book that I would not of even thought about let alone knew about. I was hooked from the first page and devoured the book in a couple of hours. M. J has a way when finishing a chapter that leaves the reader wanting to continue on. The story was every bit as chilling, tense, creepy, suspenseful and full of unexpected turns. I loved the beginning, I loved the middle and I loved the ending. The twist is a big one and shocked me. If you haven’t read a book by M. J. Arlidge then now is the time, you will not be disappointed.
