Book Synopsis:
She forgot about her childhood friend… until his body is found under her garden. Can she prove she didn’t commit the decades-old murder?
Lucy Freeman struggles to find satisfaction in life. Trapped in the shadow of her rock star brother, the thirty-two-year-old craves more than her days at home caring for her terminally ill mother. But her routine takes a turn for the horrifying when a giant sinkhole collapses the earth outside their house and reveals a skeleton.
Shocked to discover the bones belong to a former member of her sibling’s band, Lucy’s worst nightmare comes alive when police suspect her of the killing. And as she turns to her dying parent’s diaries in a desperate search for vindication, she’s entangled in a dark and complicated truth.
Will unearthing long-buried wrongs prove lethal?
Lies at Her Door is a heavy-hitting psychological thriller novel. If you like strong character growth, overcoming dysfunctional relationships, and revealing unexpected secrets, then you’ll love AA Abbott’s chilling whodunnit.
My Review:
This was an interesting, creepy and original read that I really enjoyed. For quite a short book it manages to pack quite a punch which I thought was very impressive.
The story starts when a sinkhole appears under the house and a skeleton is revealed. The reader gets taken between the past and present as the truth is slowly revealed. I soon found myself very intrigued and had to keep reading in order to find out who the murderer was.
The characters are very interesting ones who I never felt like I could trust. As soon as I started feeling sympathy for one of them, something would happen to completely change my opinion. The tension slowly increased until it was almost palpable and the many twists kept me on my toes. The ending was brilliant and very clever, especially the double tier ending.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
