Amanda has always known she was adopted but nothing more, when she is left a house by her grandmother she travels with her children to Avalon Springs to clear the house and put it up for sale.

People seem to clam up when she tells them who she is and Amanda's determined to find out why and learn about her birth mother Angie.......

I enjoyed the story, which could have been a real dark thriller but sometimes felt a bit comedic. I didn't feel particularly fond of the characters that Amanda encountered along the way. The neighbour did remind me of someone I know though.

Amanda seemed to fall in love and be thinking of a future within days , form close friendships within hours then lead said friends into a madcap whodunit and it all just seemed a bit unrealistic. However I did not predict the ending until very near the end of the book which always makes it worthwhile.

The book wasn't a bad book I was just a bad match as a reader. Thank you Netgalley, Bookouture and Lauren Westwood for the opportunity to read this arc.… (más)
