The Stepmother

 

The Stepmother by Sally Rigby and Amanda Ashby- psychological thriller

A girl has been found injured after she had been kidnapped. A woman whose brother went missing many years ago and thinks that the perpetrator did more than he was ever charged for is looking into things and a step-mother who has suspicions about her stepson is also finding out things she would rather not. Libby Curtis is the stepmother who has her own issues about her older brother from many years ago and is finding her adopted family has a past she never realised when she fell for Nathan, her husband and the father of the twins- Sam and Sienna. Is Sam hiding something and what on earth has happened in the past for all this to come crashing down?

This is an engaging read, and complex to begin with as there are numerous inroads as to who is looking into the crime from different perspectives (it's well written and hence easy to follow). Both Sam and Sienna have their own secrets, as it appears do most of the main characters in one way or another making this a real page turner. A twist I didn’t see coming and one cleverly crafted. An entertaining read that kept me between the pages
