The Good Girl by Patricia Dixon

 

The Good Girl by Patricia Dixon - Psychological Thriller

Julia Lassiter has it all, well almost. She is the head of a very successful company and has the trappings to prove it. A few years ago her husband sadly passed away and a couple of years afterwards she started seeing Shane. Things haven't been great between them and Julia wants out. Her sister, a lawyer in Canada, is helping her put things in order. Her daughter Molly has a secret, one that if brought to light would destroy the family. When things take a turn for the worse, the family secrets begin to come to light.

Oh wow! This is such a beautifully written book as with all of Patricia’s work, one that gives you a false sense of security to begin with….. And then the drama ramps up.  “Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive”  Sir Walter Scott’s words were echoing in my ears as I read this. Few can carry off deception well, and those that think they can are heading for a fall in more ways than one. A breath-taking premise partly based on a true story (explained in the acknowledgements). A truly brilliant, memorable read from an exceptionally talented, stunningly gifted author.
