This book grips you from the very beginning and does not let go until the very surprising ending! I have read one other book from Chevy Stevens, Still Missing, and liked it very much. This one also does not disappoint. It's filled with domestic violence, obsession, control and evil abuse. These are subjects that are hard to read about but worse if you have to live through these nightmares.
Chevy Stevens tells us a story about Andrew, Lynsey and their daughter, Sophie, and the horrible way they had to live. Andrew was an alcoholic and Lynsey made excuses for him and covered up every abuse she received in order to protect their daughter, Sophie, from the truth of their situation. Andrew finally has an accident in which he kills a woman named Elizabeth and he receives a prison sentence of ten years. Sophie keeps in touch with her father while he is in prison and afterwards when he is released without Lynsey's knowledge. Both Lynsey and Sophie begin to feel as though they are being followed and watched wherever they go. Lindsey is convinced it's her ex-husband, even though he claims he's a different person. But has he really changed? Is the one who wants her dead closer to home than she thought?
The point of view by Lynsey and Sophie switched back and forth from the past to the present and you were able to see the pitfalls of these characters and how they tried to manipulate their way out of this abusive relationship. The emotional turmoil was hard to read about and many times I thanked God that I didn't have to live this life. When the ending unfolded after many twists and turns, I had to give Chevy Stevens a lot of credit for the a very clever way to tie up this novel. I look forward to reading other books by this author and I would highly recommend this book to those who like psychological thrillers.
