The book...
As she prepares for her wedding to Dominic, Catherine has never been happier or more excited about her future. But when she receives an anonymous package—a familiar snow globe with a very grisly addition—that happiness is abruptly threatened by secrets from her past.
Her older sister, Rachel, died on a skiing holiday as a child. But Rachel was no angel: she was vicious and highly disturbed, and she made Catherine’s life a misery. Catherine has spent years trying to forget her dead sister’s cruel tricks. Now someone has sent her Rachel’s snow globe—the first in a series of ominous messages…
While Catherine struggles to focus on her new life with Dominic, someone out there seems intent on tormenting her. But who? And why now? The only alternative is what she fears most.
Is Rachel still alive?
The review...
Rachel is dead and gone. She can’t hurt you anymore.
Or can she?
Catherine’s sister Rachel died when they were children, but nobody has ever told her the details of what happened... and strangely, nobody has ever talked about her since. Catherine’s memories of Rachel are not good; Rachel’s behaviour was often extremely cruel and disturbed. But she’s gone, and Cat’s future with fiancé Dominic looks bright. Cat volunteers at a food bank, much to the mystification of her wealthy parents, and Dominic works as an A&E nurse. But as Cat prepares for her wedding, someone is tormenting her... in ways very reminiscent of Rachel.
Why does nobody seem to believe her, and who can Cat really trust... her husband? Her parents? Herself?
This is a very intriguing, thought-provoking and unpredictable read which kept me guessing throughout as to what was really going on... though my theories were constantly changing! Every time I thought I knew what was going on, the rug was pulled right out from under me... I guessed the first major twist, but only seconds before it was revealed. Particularly towards the end of the story, the twists and turns come thick and fast and the book is very hard to put down.
The plot is very ingenious and cleverly constructed. I did worry near the beginning, due to something that happens early on, whether the story was going to be too grisly for me. But thankfully that proved not to be the case.
Definitely a recommended read. Thanks for the opportunity to read the book and to be part of the blog tour!
