Publisher's Summary

A chilling psychological thriller by the Wall Street Journal best-selling author of Silent Child.

Who really killed Maisie Earnshaw?

Within the walls of the high-security psychiatric facility Crowmont Hospital reside many violent offenders. To nurse Leah Smith, no matter what, all offenders are patients first and foremost. When Leah is appointed as nurse to Isabel Fielding, she is determined to remain professional despite the shocking crime Isabel allegedly committed in her past.

Seven years ago, six-year-old Maisie Earnshaw was found facedown in a duck pond, her body mutilated. Isabel - at age 14, found covered in Maisie's blood - was convicted of murder.

As Leah spends time with Isabel, she comes to know her as a young woman with a sweet, gentle nature, someone she could never see as a murderer. Leah begins to suspect members of the Fielding family of framing Isabel as a young girl, and she's not the only one. True crime blogger James Gorden thinks Isabel is innocent, too.

But is Leah letting her own dark past taint her judgment as she grows closer to her patient? Or has a young woman been unjustly robbed of her childhood?

Exciting to the last page.

I really enjoyed the first book in this trilogy. I can hardly wait to start with book two.
It was well written and never boring or repetitive. Kept you guessing until the end.

Keeps you guessing

This is my first Sarah Denzil novel. I really enjoyed the characters in this novel. You are guessing as to where the novel is going . Jasime Blackborow was a great narrator. I am certainly following this series.

Definitely worth the read!

The build up to later reveals twist was well thought out and meticulous. The story and the twist were intense and I enjoyed binging this book. I love that hight dose of human realism at the same time, a beautifully gorry story. Can't wait to start the next book, might be one of my new favorite trilogies.

Good book

Lots of twists and turns. It was a bit slow but picked up speed.
I found the ending unsatisfactory. A cliffhanger that leads to the next book.
I won't be getting the next one in the series and just deal with not knowing. I didn't feel enough empathy for the main character to continue on.

A perfect listen if you enjoy true psychological stories. The psychiatric facility and the characters felt real, which is rare for me.

Fantastic Book!

My only issue with this book is how obviously the sequel was set up. I'm completely hooked on this story and will hopefully like the next books just as much. The twists and turns are great, the characters feel real, and the narrator was perfect.
