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.
