The Miller Women The gripping new psychological suspense novel from the popular bestselling author of OTHER PEOPLE'S HOUSES, for readers of Sally Hepworth, Ashley Kalagian Blunt and Robyn Harding by Kelli Hawkins

This book is riveting from the first page when Nicola, a journalist in a small town, learns that her daughter’s friend Cara is missing. She starts to wonder who is involved. Could it be Cara’s odd evangelical parents? Her schoolteacher? Could it even be anything to do with her daughter Abby.

As Nicola tries to investigate, her thoughts turn to her dark past and an episode in Canada when she was very young. This is a terrible secret that still haunts her. She wonders if Abby shares her worst traits.

This is brilliantly written from the points of view of Nicola, her daughter Abby, and Nicola’s mother. It’s certainly a good psychological thriller. However, I skimmed parts of it because it was just too dark and miserable for me, especially at this time of my life. I prefer cosy mysteries! Also, I didn’t like the digs directed at Christianity in the book. I preferred Other People’s Houses, which I found somewhat lighter, although still quite dark.

I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
