Brought up on the Benbrae estate into a world of privilege, Megan Melvick has tried to escape the confines of her family. Now she has been called home as her sister lies dying and she fears the family madness is so close to the surface. Profoundly deaf, Megan struggles with her mental health and events in the past seem to be colliding with the present, the disappearance of her mother and the death of her childhood friend.
I found this quite an annoying and 'long' read. I know there is a huge market for this sort of 'psychological thriller' and I think there was a good concept underneath it all but I didn't really engage. Megan was an unlikeable character to my eyes and overwhelming 'gothic' tone was too much ( )
