Book Description
SISTERS, SECRETS, LOVE, AND MURDER... Sally Hepworth’s new novel has it all.
For as long as they can remember, Jessica, Norah, and Alicia have been told how lucky they are. As young girls, they were rescued from family tragedies and raised by a loving foster mother, Miss Fairchild, on an idyllic farming estate and given an elusive second chance at a happy family life.
But their childhood wasn’t the fairy tale everyone thought it was. Miss Fairchild had rules. Miss Fairchild could be unpredictable. And Miss Fairchild was never, ever to be crossed. In a moment of desperation, the three broke away from Miss Fairchild and thought they were free. Even though they never saw her again, she was always somewhere in the shadows of their minds. When a body is discovered under the home they grew up in, the foster sisters find themselves thrust into the spotlight as key witnesses. Or are they prime suspects?
A thrilling page-turner of sisterhood, secrets, love, and murder by New York Times bestselling author Sally Hepworth.

My Thoughts
I listened to the Audiobook version of this book. It did not affect my opinion on it.
Actually, I really liked and enjoyed this book. I believe this is the second book by this author I read, and I always appreciate a great story and a great narrator.
I loved getting to know the three girls in this story, the dynamic of their relationships, the darkness of the story, and how we can see the trauma unfold. A very engaging book, and again, I absolutely loved the audio version.
Thank you MacMillan Audio and Netgalley, for the Advanced Free Listeners Copy, in exchange for an honest review.
