This was a really intriguing psychological thriller! I was having trouble getting into a new book but was hooked almost immediately. Alicia, Norah (with an h), and Jessica were foster sisters with a bond stronger than blood. They return to the town they grew up in when a new discovery was made at the site of their former foster home. The story is unraveled in pieces as we toggle between then and now and get pieces of each sister’s POV. The reveal wasn’t particularly surprising but I loved the way it was told and Hepworth’s writing.

Good book. Finished in 3 sittings. Predicted the main twist about 75% of the way but the details of it and how it played out made it interesting. Never disappointed with a sally hepworth book!
