Summary
How far would you go to protect your children?
Catherine is a good mother and a good wife. The family home is immaculate, her husband's supper is cooked on time, but when she starts writing to Michael, a prisoner convicted of murder, she finds herself obsessing about his crime and whether he can ever truly be forgiven....
Kate has no time for herself. Caught in the maelstrom of bringing up two young children with an out-of-work husband, she longs to escape the drudgery of being a wife and a mother. Soon, she starts taking dangerous risks to feel alive....
Alison has flown the nest. But university life is not what she had hoped for, and she finds herself alone and unhappy - until the day her professor takes a sudden interest in her. Then, everything changes....
Three women - all with secrets. And as the days tick down to Michael's release, those secrets can no longer be ignored. A gripping psychological suspense thriller, with a twist that will leave you reeling.

Wow
This book captured me from start to finish. I thought I had guessed the end but I was far from correct. I found myself shouting at the characters and most people know at least one of the characters. great little read.

it was a bit long winded but good ending
I like the idea of it but it takes a long time to get to where it is going. it did take me several attempts to read this. A good ending though!

Pedestrian and predictable
Was so disappointed having read so many great reviews for this thriller. I guessed the twist about half way through ... the prose is very pedestrian and the characters poorly developed. Didn’t enjoy the narrator either.
