An excellent domestic thriller! The characters were well drawn and the storyline flowed seamlessly. The mystery kept me guessing until the very end. Highly recommended!
K.L. Slater’s books are always highly readable - good escapism at a time when escapism is sorely needed.
New mother Alexa is very dependent on her elder sister Carrie, particularly as her husband (Alexa’s) works away on an oil rig for weeks at a time. Alexa clearly suffers from anxiety, finding it hard to even go out at all without Carrie’s support.
Carrie works as a ward manager in A&E, and when a whistleblower flags up suspicious deaths on the ward - including a six month old baby - finds herself suspect number one. Alexa can’t believe her sister could be guilty, and yet... can she really trust her with her own baby, Florence?
A quick and enjoyable read. The twist came a bit out of the blue and I’m not entirely sure how it fits in with some of the earlier narrative towards the beginning of the book. I certainly didn’t anticipate it, anyway.
I’m not sure I understand the title though. Which girl? Who is “she”?
Loved this , as usual . You know what your getting with a K L Slater and i really wasn't disappointed . Alexa is mum to young baby Florence , her sister Carrie is staying with them after her marriage breakdown much to the annoyance of Alexa's husband Perry . When Carrie is suspended and arrested after a couple of unexplained deaths on her ward and Florence is injured whilst in her care Alexa really starts to doubt Carrie , with the police and social workers involved the future looks bleak for Carrie , but of course that would be too straight forward . Some good twists and turns and as usual an excellent , fast paced , packed read . 5 stars from me
Another excellent psychological thriller by one of my favourite authors KL Slater. Great characters, addictive plot, suspense and lots of twists and turns.
Carrie is a senior nurse and is suspended from her job when she is accused of a terrible crime. Carrie lives with her younger sister Alexa and family following the break up of her own relationship. Carrie loves her one-year-old niece Florence and Alexa who has always looked up to her sister knows how caring Carrie is to her daughter, feeling safe with her around. Alexa's husband doesn’t trust Carrie and wants her to leave the family home fearing that Carrie would harm his daughter. This is something Alexa cannot accept and will never let anybody come between her and her sister. This all changes when Florence is hurt while in Carrie’s care and Alexa at last starts to wonder.
I would like to thank both Netgalley and Bookouture for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

My jaw was dropped.
Sister love is the most precious thing in the world for another sister, isn't it? A sister can protect you, love you, care for you, want your baby?
Alexa loved Carrie doesn't matter anyone in the world say anything about her. She's her previous sister. She would never hurt her or so she thought.
Florence, another beautiful character of a baby girl who's cooing whenever Carrie is around.
Both sisters had a secret. And now that secret will tore their family apart.
Read this book to know more about the story and what happened in the end.
