Highly disturbing, tense and engaging story!

I found myself taking breaks while reading because it was really intense! Loved it. 

I don’t think I’ve read a book from a perspective of the daughter of a serial killer before… it definitely made it super intriguing. 

Sophie doesn’t know her father, she’s been living with her mum and grandparents in the US until one day her mother decides to move to the UK. The change wasn’t easy but their lives started to get better when Matty started a relationship with her mum. He became a father she never had. And all was well… until he’s been arrested for being a serial killer.

20 years later Sophie is still struggling, until this day she’s unsure if Matty is guilty because he’s been screaming his innocence from day 1. 

The story takes us through years of suspense, deceive and lies. Happiness and doubt. The trial and the aftermath. 

I’ve read all Victoria’s books and this one is the best one so far!
