A good read but I didn't enjoy it as much as I had expected to. The story is solid and the character's well developed, I just didn't seem to connect well with it.

An Honest Deceit

A parent's worst nightmare, Ben and Juliette's young daughter dies while on a school trip. In their grief, they search for answers but the deeper they get, their own secrets and motivations are revealed.

This is an engrossing and captivating read, an intelligent and emotional psychological thriller that I thoroughly recommend. I'll definitely be taking a look at Mankowski's other books off the back of this one! Four solid, shiny stars!

Thanks to netgalley for the opportunity to have read this book. In this book the author addresses one of my biggest fears - what if something happens to my child, I can't prevent it, and how would I deal with the grief afterwards.

I thought this was a good story, after I warmed up to it. Ben and Juliette do what many parents do every day, and that is to send their child to school. They have the hope that their child will be safe, but during a school trip an accident occurs and their child is killed. Their grief leads them to try to find answers for their child’s death. The pain of their loss is truly felt through the author’s words. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Ah this book was quite a sad read and I really felt for Ben & Juliette, the pain of losing a child must be unbearable. A tragic accident and the story is what follows, a quest for justice, are you children safe anywhere? Even at school? It seems not, cover ups and lies and corruption run amok in this book, a great read for all.
