Before We Were Strangers

NARRATOR: Ann Marie Gideon Oh I liked this book, a thread of tension was running throughout the whole story and you never knew quite where it would end up. Sloane is a top model who had left her small town home as soon as she could as her Mother disappeared one night when she was 5 years old and she has always suspected her Father of killing her. So now she's back in town to solve the mystery once and for all. Her Father is a really vile, controlling man and her brother not much better and they don't want anyone investigating her Mother's disappearance and are willing to bully everyone in town into supporting their side of the story and not Sloane's. When Sloane arrived in town she stayed with her ex-best friend Paige. Paige was a real loose canon, supposedly an old 'best friend' of Sloane who chased and married Sloane's ex-boyfriend Micah and had a child with him. Unfortunately Micah never really loved Paige as much as Sloane and the marriage eventually ended, but Paige doesn't seem to want to let go. So when Sloane comes back to town and Paige is pretending to be her friend but actually isn't, there are major tensions bubbling under the whole time and it was only a matter of time before things erupted. A definite love triangle and Paige was definitely a psycho! The story builds throughout the book, with twists and turns, was her Mother murdered and if so who murdered her? Secrets are slowly revealed, with a twist! Riveting read.
