Alistair wakes up in hospital with a head injury and almost total amnesia. He's had a fall and remembers nothing about his life.
Young family friend Clemence is sent to take him home and help jog his memory. Then she finds a book, seemingly a novel but it turns out is more autobiographical...the disturbing thing is that there's a murder. The victim? Clemence's grandmother.
Is Alistair dangerous? She reads the book to him and together they find out who he is, and what her family's secrets are.
This book was a great read. It is told in 2 time frames, the present and in the 1930's to 50's.
Alistair is very vulnerable and you can't help but like him. But is he a threat to Clemence once she's read the whole book? Why are her family so fragmented? And how is Alistair connected to her grandmother and family?
The description of rural Scotland is beautiful. You feel like you're at Loch Glass and can sense the tension build. I couldn't wait to peel back the layers to get to the heart of the story. You won't be disappointed!
I would like to thank Readers First & Bonnier Zaffre for a copy of this book in exchange for an open and honest review.
