This book griped me straight away as I read a few sentences. I love the ideas of the prisoner living with the police . It makes me wounded if he really did murder someone or not. It could go both ways. The tension in the book is palpable from the start; the fear and hatred Hannah experiences with Jem being in the house is tangible. Jem continues to protest his innocence and it's unclear whether this is a mind game he is playing, to torment Hannah further, or if there is any truth in what he claims. There were a number of points in this book which literally made me gasp out loud at what was happening, the pace was fast and there is never a dull moment. The author has a wonderful way of portraying all of the range of emotions so well, as a reader you can feel it all. This kept me reading late into the night and I wanted to keep reading to know what was going to happen. It is full of information and there is always something happening. It’s a smooth read that explains more uncommon phrase and events, helping me to understand the text a bit more. Overall this was a really good read and I really want to finish.
