__________
When single mum Joanna hears a rumour at the school gates, she never intends to pass it on. But one casual comment leads to another and now there's no going back . . .
Rumour has it that a notorious child killer is living under a new identity, in their sleepy little town of Flinstead-on-Sea.
Sally McGowan was just ten years old when she stabbed little Robbie Harris to death forty-eight years ago - no photos of her exist since her release as a young woman.
So who is the supposedly reformed killer who now lives among them? How dangerous can one rumour become? And how far will Joanna go to protect her loved ones from harm, when she realizes what it is she's unleashed?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When a rumour begins to make its way around the school yard, single mother Joanna Critchley can think of little else. As she obsesses over the possibility that a killer lurks nearby, we can hear it as she begins to realise her sleepy seaside town is far less innocent than she thought. Dripping with intrigue, Lesley Kara’s debut novel will have Big Little Lies fans revelling in its themes of gossip, secrecy and female friendship. Three narrators bring the town’s array of characters to vivid life as they lead us down blind alleys before hurtling in an unexpected—and satisfying—direction.
Customer Reviews
Ikke lest ennå,
Virker som svært bra bok, men er ikke ferdig med den ennå, men:
(Vil bare melde om en feil i Bøker-appen: den har en tendens til å krasje, låse seg selv om jeg har Bluetooth-høretelefoner, nok plass på iPhonen og iPaden. Jeg liker åhøre/lese lyd()bøker, jeg leser i snitt cirka 4-5 (lyd)bøker av forskjellig kategori, mest krim og psykologiske thrillere i uken på engelsk, norsk, svensk og på tysk og jeg har kjøpt omtrent 600, mest lydbøker til nå 21.07.2019. Selv om jeg har plassert bøkene i flere samlinger, slettet midlertidig noen og skjult noen, fortsetter appen å krasje eller låse seg, jeg har nok plass på mine enheter, jeg har også flyttet noen og slettet fra iPhone og lagt dem på iPad. Jeg har få apper aktive åpne samtidig, lukker dem når ikke i bruk. Bruker IOS 12.3,1.
