The Blame by Kerry Wilkinson - psychological thriller
“ People change and then they change again” .Harry has flown back from Canada as
one of his school friends Richard, has been arrested for murder. He meets up with the
third member of their group as was,Paige, not really sure what he can do other than
be there for support. He and Richard went to school eighteen years ago and found
another child under a bush on their way home. Social media being what it is has
put the two together although the police don’t yet have anything to link the two
murders. Paige is now the estranged sister in law of Richard having been married
but now separated from his brother Oliver. Richard and Paige try to find out
anything they can to clear their friends' names. Harry suspects that Paige is
an addict and is hiding more than a few small baggies. Can they clear Richard
before it's too late and who is the real perpetrator of both murders and why?
I enjoyed this. It's a tale of old friendships, and trying to reconnect with
people we had so much in common with at one time and now they are
practically strangers. Harry comes across well as someone you could trust
and rely on- something he can't say the same about as Paige sadly.
A cleverly crafted, well thought out plot and believable characters
which comes across very well. A highly recommended read.

Twenty years later, I have a brand-new life, and try never to think about my old one. But I’m dragged back when Paige calls out of the blue. Richard has been accused of something terrible. Everyone back home is whispering about the body we found years ago, and saying Richard deserves to be locked up…
Before I know it, I’ve returned to the small town I thought I’d never see again. Paige is almost the same as I remember – jet-black hair, slender frame – but why does she seem so nervous?
Revealing the truth about what we saw that day twenty years ago could clear Richard’s name… but will the blame fall on me? And can I really trust that Paige is on my side – or is she hiding her own dark secret?
When we find a strange note in Richard’s flat, only one thing is for certain: someone else knows the truth too. All three of us are in danger…
A totally addictive read by bestselling author Kerry Wilkinson about how the secrets from our past will always come back to haunt us. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, I Am Watching You and The Girl on the Train.
