Two Irish sisters with two very different lives and a plot full of twists and turns to keep you on guard until the big secret is revealed.
It begins when Rachel receives a phone call from the police to tell her that Evie, who lives in London, has been in a car crash. She’s in a coma and Rachel rushes to her side but soon starts to discover that her sister’s life isn’t all that it seems.
Why was Evie driving when she doesn’t even own a licence?
Who is the man living in her flat and claiming Evie is his girlfriend?
How come she has never heard of him?
The more mysteries Rachel uncovers the more she starts asking herself how well she ever really knew her sister. And then she begins to wonder if the crash was really the accident everybody says it is.
Barrington lures the reader in to the two very different lives of the sisters, their complex personalities and their relationship with each other.
Both sisters have secrets and this psychological thriller with its drip-feed revelations keeps the reader engrossed throughout. It’s a brilliant read and holds its own in the “grip-lit” genre.
