What a fabulously twisty book. I finished this hours ago yet it is still being turned over in my mind, what is fact, what is hallucinated?

The book opens with Marta, the main character, questioning what has happened in her life and we stay with her all the way as she unravels her past or does she??...

Can she make her family believe what she feels was so real or are her actions causing a rift between them all?

This may just be the best psychological thriller I have read. I cannot say too much as I do not want to give anything away or cloud anyone's mind when reading for yourself, but if you enjoy this type of book this is a must. 5/5

Oo-er! I don't know how I missed this one at all! I guess because I rarely read thrillers and maybe I thought this was your run of the mill page turner. But if you liked it Lindsay, I think it might be worth adding to my wish list.

PS - have you stopped blogging now? Latest post appears to be last year, summer.

It is definitely worth a read, Lindsay's review is more in depth than mine and explains it much better I still need some practise!

You are both too kind! You both write great reviews. I haven't stopped blogging but it has been on a bit of a hiatus for a long time now, I always intended to eventually go back to it hence not 'closing' it as such, but I'm not sure when yet. I don't think I could write a review like that now and/or find the time and concentration but maybe one day...

Well! Thanks to elliej84 for sending this on to me - and like her and littlereader I also enjoyed the twisty turny nature of this short thriller. I wondered if what she remembered was true or not, and like all sufferers from any kind of mental illness I ached for her when she tried to cope without medication.
