An emotionally intelligent thriller – a little gem of a book. Menace crackles on every page of a disturbing thriller.

 He had found exactly the right spot in the woods.

A little clearing, green and dim, encircled by tall trees. He would bring his lovely Helen here…

This time, it was going to be perfect.

When Alicia Bryson returns to her childhood home in a tiny Yorkshire village, she finds her estranged father frail and unable to care for himself.

Her daughter Jenny is delighted at the prospect of a whole summer playing in the woods at the bottom of the garden, but as soon as Alicia sets foot in Lower Banford, strange and disturbing memories begin to plague her.

What happened in her father’s house, all those years ago?

But coping with the uncertainty and arranging Bob’s care plan aren’t Alicia’s only problems.

Unknown to her, she has a stalker.

Someone is watching, waiting, making plans of his own.

To him, Alicia and Jenny are his beautiful Helens… and they should be in Paradise.

Review by Carrie:

An absorbing thriller that alternates between the main character’s (Alicia’s) point-of-view and that of a deranged man determined to have Alicia and her daughter all to himself so he can send them to “paradise” forever.

A cast of possible suspects is weaved throughout the story so the reader keeps asking, “Is it him? No, maybe it’s him…”

This kept me guessing until the moment the man’s identity is revealed.

A real page-turner and an enjoyable, suspenseful read.
