After their mother dies, Beth, Nicole and Michael are forced to reunite to sort out their childhood home. Beth, the oldest, never left, caring for their mum until the very end. Nicole, the middle child, is drowning in her destructive drug addiction. Michael, the youngest, has moved far away and hasn't been back to their small town since their father ran out on them.
When the siblings stumble upon a collection of home videos, it feels like a good idea to revisit those happier memories. But then one of the tapes reveals a shocking scene none of them expect to see. They watch their father, covered in blood, carrying a dead body, and hear a secret pact with their mother to never tell a soul. Is this secret connected to why their father vanished all those years ago?
Burying their mother is already hard enough, but now the siblings must uncover what dark secrets she took to her grave.
I loved this book. I enjoyed it from that start when Laura did her cryptic speech - what did it mean? I loved how it all unfolded and how the book was told from the three siblings points of view. As siblings, Beth, Nicole and Michael could not be any more different but that just made things even more interesting.
As the storyline unfolded it got more and more mysterious at times as the trio found out things about their parents and things that their mum had kept that made them question even more things. I really felt for Beth as she was the one that had nursed her mum throughout her illness and she was trying to deal with her sister and brother too.
I loved the ending when we got to the reveal, I can say it was not what I was expecting! I thought it was brilliant and couldn't believe what had happened. I thought this was brilliantly written and had me gripped throughout.
