The Niece by Georgina Cross-psychological thriller
Tara lives with her young daughter and has an estranged sister and a secret. When the sister Beth, is killed in a house fire, Tara is asked to take on her niece Hannah who is sixteen. Hannah is grateful for this but has been told much about Tara and can't believe how nice she is being which does not tally with what her mother told her. When Tara begins receiving threats could the past be catching up with her and putting her newly extended family at risk?
This is brilliantly written and grabbed my attention from the beginning. There’s a nice uneasy tension between the pages as we get hints of what happened in the past but not the full story… yet. An engrossing, well written thriller and a new author to me- one I will certainly look out for in the future.

Description:
I love my family. But can I trust them?
Walking down an airport corridor I see her. My mother’s sister. There is no mistaking we’re related; we have the same long, black hair and brown eyes. But my aunt is the one person in the world my mother told me never to trust.
Nothing feels real right now. My beloved mother was my whole world—she taught me everything and she said she would always be there for me. My last memory is of her screaming at me to get out. Then the flames took her, and she was gone.
Now I have to live with my aunt and I hope she’s changed after all these years. But when I secretly watch her speaking to her friends, she makes it sound like I’m a stranger in her home.
She leaves her bedroom door open and I hear her on the phone to the police late at night. I start to wonder if she had something to do with the terrible fire that ripped my life apart. And my blood turns to ice when the detective asks, what are you hiding?
Is my aunt trying to protect me, or is it time to teach her a lesson?
An utterly addictive psychological thriller about a family with a dark secret at its heart that will make you question everyone you trust. Perfect for fans of The Wife Between Us, The Woman in the Window and Gone Girl.
