About this ebook
'Sophie Hannah is genuinely Christie's heir' The Scotsman
A brilliantly chilling thriller from the queen of psychological suspense - a must-read for fans of Clare Mackintosh and Paula Hawkins.
'Utterly chilling' Observer
'Truly hair-raising' Independent on Sunday
Some secrets are so dark you keep them even from yourself . . .
When Amber Hewerdine consults a hypnotherapist as a desperate last resort, she doesn't expect that anything much will change.
She doesn't expect it to help with her chronic insomnia . . .
She doesn't expect to hear herself, under hypnosis, saying words that mean nothing to her: 'Kind, cruel, kind of cruel' - words she has seen somewhere before, if only she could remember where . . .
She doesn't expect to be arrested two hours later, as a result of having spoken those words out loud, in connection with the brutal murder of Katharine Allen, a woman she's never heard of . . .

The murderer was a bit obvious: what wasn't were her motives. Lots of fraught psychological- and psychoanalytical- detail. About fraught family relationships all over the place!! I liked Hannah's "Narrow Bed", about her serial killer "Billy No Mates" a lot better! ☺

There are no other words, the worst book I have ever tried to read......I say tried because it never captivated my interest!

Boring, tedious. Hated it. Annoyed at myself for reading it to end but when start a book have to finish it!
