In this novel, Brooke returns to her childhood home after the death of her parents, only to confront her dark past working as a nurse in a prison housing her ex. The story is not just about crime but dives deeper into complex relationships and the quest for truth. Readers of psychological thrillers appreciate the tension that builds between characters, and this book excels in that regard.
