In My Wake by Ruth Harrow-psychological thriller
Hannah is married to Will and they have a young daughter. She is back in her home village
for the funeral of her sister April who committed suicide. A body was never found but she
was seen by the river and her body was found nearby. At the funeral someone has pasted
over the eulogy insinuating that April had something to do with a young girl who was
killed years before. Again a body was neer found- the father was arrested however
most people in the village never believed the father would hurt his daughter. April
once dated Will and issued Hannah a warning about him- something at the time
she dismissed as jealousy. As time goes on Hannah is finding more and more about
Will and the past that she never knew. Occasional chapters take us back to when
Will and April were dating and Hannah was around twelve years of age. A read that
slowly but surely draws you in. You know that there is something, just something
that you can’t quite put your finger on and characters that I was never sure just
who was telling the truth. A clever premise, an interesting read with plenty
of twists and turns.
