The Blurb

Thirteen years ago someone did something very bad to Anna. Now it’s her turn to get even …

Anna lives a solitary existence, taking solace in order and routine. Her only friend is the lonely old lady next door. She doesn’t like to let people to get too close – she knows how much damage they can do.

Then one ordinary day Anna witnesses a devastating road accident and recognises the driver as Carla, the woman who ruined her life all those years ago. Now it’s Anna’s chance to set things straight but her revenge needs to be executed carefully …

First she needs to get to know Liam, the man injured in the accident. She needs to follow the police investigation. She needs to watch Carla from the shadows…

But as Anna’s obsession with Carla escalates, her own secrets start to unravel. Is Carla really dangerous or does Anna need to worry about someone far closer to home?

My Thoughts

Anna works for the Post Office and to say the least has a few issues to deal with.

Anna witnesses a road accident between Motorcyclist Liam Bradley and Amanda Danson. Whilst comforting Liam in the road, she thinks she recognizes the driver of the other car from 13 years previous. This encounter starts a campaign of revenge for Anna. Problem is not everything is what it seems.

The Story is told in alternating voices from 13 years ago and the present day, each chapter builds up the tension until the story reaches its climax. The book is, forgive the cliche, a real page turner that was a genuine bind to put down.

I felt sorry for Anna. She was the architect of her own downfall but she never got the help she needed 13 years ago. To be fair the main characters were all a pretty messed up bunch.

A great plot which was well paced and well written, believable characters and dialogue with a satisfying ending and only 99p. What more could you want?
