Every Monday, 49-year-old Ellie looks after her grandson Josh. She loves him more than anyone else in the world. The only thing that can mar her happiness is her husband's affair. But he swears it's over now, and Ellie has decided to be thankful for what she's got.
Then one day, while she's looking after Josh, her husband gets a call from that woman. And just for a moment, Ellie takes her eyes off her grandson. What happens next will change her life forever.
Because Ellie is hiding something in her past.
And what looks like an accident could start to look like murder...

I was already incredibly hooked on this story and then the moment came where I actually gasped out loud, and couldn't work out how I hadn't seen it coming.
Jane Corry writes such compelling characters that you just have read all about them.
We are told in alternating chapters about Ellie and Jo's lives and there are assorted flashback sections, where we see key moments of Ellie's past, and also another characters past too... which I couldn't quite work out how it connected initially.
I couldn't help but feel very sorry for Ellie, she really has had a hard life.
But equally Jo is homeless and living a tough time now, although she does seem to have an impact on the people she comes across.
This was a simply fascinating book, one which wouldn't let me know. There are sections that make for tough reading, but they are written in a compassionate way, and you can tell the author has done a lot of research to be able to make everything so real.
Another absolutely amazing story from the always brilliant Jane Corry.
