A mother in mourning

Two years ago, Sarah’s husband was jailed for her murder; her body was never found. Now, her grieving mother, Claire, spends her sleepless nights running a helpline for vulnerable women.

A woman with a secret

Claire takes many calls, but one caller isn’t like the rest. She isn’t calling for help – she’s calling because she claims to know what happened to Sarah.

A killer on the loose

But when Claire hears the terrifying news that her daughter’s killer has escaped from prison, she realises her nightmare is far from over – and her family are in danger yet again.

Ratings and reviews

I gave her first book 5 stars but this one is the typical "second book." The daughter character acts like a naive 4 year old and it's all so textbook Controlling Husband. I had zero sympathy for the characters!

very crazy
