Mia can not remember if she killed her friend. When she starts going to therapy some memories start resurfacing and people’s stories start changing.

This was a fast paced thriller. It sucks you in right from the beginning! I love thrillers that have twist and turns that you don’t see coming and this book has just that! It started off a little slow but made up for it! Would highly recommend.

I really enjoyed her last book but had a hard time getting into this one. Mia can’t remember if she killed her friend or not, so she enlists Dr Tara blacks help. I enjoyed hearing about Tara’s previous case and more information about her brother, but found that I skimmed most of it. I wasn’t that interested in Mia or the people around her.

Mia is returning to a place where her friend Alice was found dead at the lake years ago. She is going back with her husband Tom, and has never really spoken about that weekend.
She is now seeing a therapist and is having flashbacks? New memories are coming back. Could she have been responsible? Are they false memories? Is she being manipulated?
This noel explores a few scenarios which lead to several possibilities. She was not the only one there that weekend. Some memories stay hidden to protect us?
This novel is fast-paced and what you want in a suspense psychological thriller.

Kind of slow to start but just stick with it and it will gradually pick up pace. It is kind of a family drama novel. Several twists and turns.

We have met Dr Tara Black in the previous book and she plays one of the main roles again. She is not the only recurring character though. There are two more who make a reappearance. 

Tara is not the only one who is struggling to remember what happened that one horrific night many years ago. Her new patient also seems to have trouble recalling the details of that particular evening that turned her world upside down.

Tara will not stop until she has done everything she can to help her patient, trying to find out if she is indeed a guilt y patient.

In the meantime, Tara is still trying to work through her grief, but there might be light at the end of the tunnel.

This is a story about trauma and feeling guilty It also shows how the past can effect the present. There are a lot of emotions involved and let's not forget about the twists and turns...

The author created interesting characters and although I found it a bit slow paced, it's is still a great book. 4,5 stars.

Thank you
