Amanda Sinclair has to fight harder than most for everything she has after fleeing the cult that left her brother dead at her mother’s hand. Amanda works a quiet job in quality control for a small cosmetics company, trying to leave her past behind her—until she learns that her mother has committed suicide in the mental ward where she’s been locked away for the past ten years. At first, Amanda believes that her mother killed herself, but when she looks through the personal belongings left behind, it seems her death may be related to the upcoming parole hearing for cult leader Patrick Collier. Teaming up with her mother’s psychologist, Amanda starts to peel away the layers of secrets that she’s built between herself and her own past, and what she finds is a truth that’s almost too big to believe.

Review

After her mother's death, Amanda is left to search through her belongings where she uncovers things that shouldn't be there, that may have helped cause her to commit suicide.

The good doctor Ashmore helps Amanda in her search for answers where things begin to become strange. She is left with a threatening message telling her not to say a word.

She then finds herself in trouble which leads her to try to find out who it is threatening her and her brother.

Her mother's death is now looking a lot more like murder. Finally, after years of keeping a secret hidden, she has no other choice but to reveal it but the more she reveals and the more truth they uncover, the crazier she seems, just like her mother.

Eventually, it all leads to a plot twist that I certainly wouldn't have guessed.

I found this to be a brilliant read and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who likes crime/ investigation/detective type books.
