What Lies Between Us

Product Information

Told in first person, the first chapter opens with an unnamed woman in prison. She admits to what put her there, and it's a horrible, horrible crime. But its hard to feel the weight of her crime so early on, not knowing who she is, how or why it happened. But not to worry, because she has decided to share her story, which starts early on, when she is just a baby herself... In the end we know her name and what she did and what in truth happened to her . To say that its heartbreaking and disturbing , such a sad, sad story somehow doesn't seem adequate but it is definitively a beautifully written one that I won't forget about .

everything that is wrong with me is wrong with you too. We are one and the same. When I die, your flame will also extinguish.” It would be nice if the police were involved. Not only would it spice things up for me, I think it would also up the stakes and help with the far fetchedness so that the mystery could unwrap a little less conveniently.

No one condones violence against a child but here we get a glimpse into a tortured mind and see why she may have done what she did.Told from inside her prison cell, What Lies Between Us is a dark, gripping testament to the ways in which childhood trauma can continue to haunt us long into adulthood (The 27 Most Exciting Books Coming In 2016) because misery doesn’t always love company.

Beyond the Book

by the twisted journey this book takes you on. I know John Marrs previous books have led us through Twistville and this one is no different. However, this one differs in that the story changes how you feel about the lead characters to such a point you just don't know what they are capable of next. The deceptive story climbs and climbs until you think you've reached the peak, only to find another, final twist (have I said twist enough?). not the worst john marrs book ive read, but definitely not my favourite. i think i tend to prefer his sci-fi thrillers more than his psychological ones.
