LAKE CHILD. -Isobel Ashdown- Psychological thriller
Eva is a seventeen year old girl who lives remotely with her parents. She wakes up to
find herself not in her bedroom but in the attic room and the door locked. What on
earth is going on? She aches all over and has scars. She discovers that she was in a
road traffic accident but she can’t remember anything about it. Her parents have
been over and over it with her and she is retaining nothing. She doesn’t know who
she was in the vehicle with- just that the police are trying to trace him- or anything
about that evening. Eva knows her parents are hiding things from her- about the
accident and maybe even more. She has to get away from her attic prison and find
out what is happening. Her best friends are being turned away without even being
allowed to see her. She keeps hearing the call of a fox and she has a feeling that a
fox was there that night. I took to Eva and her predicament of confusion and not
knowing not only what was going on but of who she really was. The tension between
the pages is very well written and I just had to keep turning. One trail led to another
which turned and so on. A very well thought out clever plot line with excellent
characterisations. I could easily see this as a film.
One very entertaining read.
