Ellen Walsh has done something very, very bad. If only she knew what it was . . .

Teacher, mother, wife, and all-around good citizen Ellen is juggling non-stop commitments, from raising a teen and two toddlers to job-hunting, to finally renovating her dream home, the Meadowhouse. Amidst the chaos, an ominous note arrives in the mail declaring:

SOONER OR LATER EVERYONE SITS DOWN TO A BANQUET OF CONSEQUENCES.

Why would someone send her this note? Ellen has no clue. She’s no angel – a white lie here and there, an occasional sharp tongue – but nothing to incur the wrath of an anonymous enemy.
Everyone around Ellen – her husband, her teenage daughter, her sister, her best friend, her neighbours – can guess why, though.  They all know from bitter experience that while Ellen’s intentions are always good, this ultimately counts for very little when you’ve (unintentionally?) blown up someone’s life.  Could the five bad deeds that come to haunt Ellen explain why things have gone so horribly wrong?

As she races to discover who’s set on destroying her life, Ellen receives more anonymous messages, each one more threatening than the last . . . and each hitting closer and closer to home and everything she cherishes.

My Thoughts:

This is the story all about Ellen, she is a mother, wife and teacher who lives a simple but contented life, so when she receives a anonymous note she is perplexed about what it is about. Her closest friends and family know what the note means though, they each have their own reasons why Ellen could be receiving this hate but is it one of them? it was a mysterious and tense thriller that had me gripped. It was a slow burner but once it got started it was really intense and a good read. Can Ellen find out who the hater is before her world comes crashing down before her eyes? will it be too little too late in the end. The ending had me shocked.
