She thinks it was murder.
But if she can’t trust herself, how can anyone else?

For a brief moment, Nancy North wasn’t fine. A psychotic break tore her away from her restaurant, her friends, and her own cosy London flat. But now, sticking to her breathing exercises and doctor-prescribed help, Nancy North is fine. Her new flat, her new neighbours, and her boyfriend’s hovering concern aren’t exactly helping, but she’s keeping it together as well as can be expected.

Until the suicide of her downstairs neighbour, Kira. Nancy is convinced there’s more to Kira’s death than has been discovered. But all everyone else sees, including the police, is a vulnerable young woman with a history of experiencing things that aren’t necessarily there.

Meanwhile, Detective Inspector Maud O’Connor has her own misgivings about Kira’s death. Maud knows what it’s like to be dismissed as an overemotional woman and isn’t so quick to discount Nancy’s claims. As tensions reach an explosive breaking point, the line between fact and delusion becomes dangerously blurred, but Maud to determined to help bring the truth to light.

From international bestselling master of suspense Nicci French comes a chilling new psychological thriller about a woman determined to get justice for a murder no one else believes happened.

If you are looking for a book that induces a myriad of emotions then this might be the one for you! I experienced (in no particular order) sorrow, anger, frustration, joy, disbelief, regret and disappointment. Mostly though I was impressed that the authors have once again written a book with characters that one can easily relate to and care about.

I had reservations about one element of the story, but without giving spoilers it would be hard to explain further.

Narrator was very good.

It had everything.
