Nasty! A lot of nasty in this story, and that's what makes it so good. Sit back, suspend your disbelief and get ready to be hooked.
Margot knows nothing about her family, there has always been just her and her mum. That has been enough, but Margot has been emotionally shut out by her mum, and now she has a clue to her mother's past and she runs off to investigate. What she finds is a town full of damaged people, huge secrets and very scary going ons. She finds a grandmother who is manipulative and downright creepy, and cops who are trying to pin a crime on her gran. And before that there is a fire, a terrifying, nasty and destroying fire.
This was an audiobook, read amazingly well by Lauren Ezzo, she got the tone just right, the pace and her reading set just the right notes.
I really enjoyed this, found it hard to stop listening to and I'm looking forward to reading more from this author. Give it to kids who loved One of Us is Lying.
