Georgia Sage is a court room artist who takes her job very seriously. She had a troubled childhood and events in her past make her passionate about ensuring that she can portray the guilty in the dock through her pictures to try and ensure justice is served.
It’s rather ironic that Georgia considers she is able to separate the guilty form the innocent considering that everything about her is a lie. Her names not even really Georgia. She has built her adult life upon layers of lies and even those closer to her don’t know the real truth.
The story very much centres around Georgia and as a lead protagonist I found her very likeable. She has all the hallmarks of a character you want to get behind. She is broken, troubled and struggling to come to terms with past events. She is a character that you want to succeed and triumph in the end. The way the author develops Georgia’s character took me as the reader on Georgia’s personal journey of discovery alongside her. Georgia finishes the book as a very different character to the one she started out as.
As with all thrillers, regardless of the specific genre of thriller you are reading, this book finishes with a last shock revelation which is brilliantly crafted throughout the book with tension building gradually as I read through. Whist I would primarily classify this book as a psychological thriller, there is also a large element of personal discovery which of the sort you would find in say, general fiction.
I very much enjoyed this debut thriller from the author and I think it’s the start of a promising career in this genre for her.
