What happens when bullying becomes lethal?
Every workplace has its dark corners, places where the power-hungry lurk, where resentment and grudges fester. Former deputy head teacher Cassie Clifton knows this. It’s why she’s no longer working. And it’s why she hasn’t left her home for more than two years.
Cassie’s husband has encouraged her to work with a therapist to recover from the damage she’s suffered after workplace bullying and a drunken staff party that took a violent turn. Freddy’s counseling and support helps Cassie take her first tentative steps back into the world. But the threat hasn’t disappeared—and once she understands the malevolent machinations going on around her, she will have to confront her fears head-on . . .
I really enjoyed this book, and I loved the fact that we were on the journey with Cassie our main character.
The book is in the present with Cassie dealing with what happened in the past, it’s not done in what I call a ‘jumpy’ way but a nice clear way where she is explaining what happened bit by bit.
I loved Freddy our therapist but also wanted to find out a bit more about him and how he’d found his way to becoming a therapist, luckily this was answered for us and not left lingering as a question.
I liked how the picture of what led is to present day was built up and kept me in suspense as to what the catalyst was.
I was not expecting the ending at all I was like ‘wow, I never saw that coming’ I thought it was brilliantly written and also although I have a very good picture of Blackthorn house in my mind, I feel sad that it’s not somewhere I can visit as it sounds beautiful.
