Ben is driving on the motorway, on his usual commute to the school where he works.

Wracked with guilt and desperate to clear his conscience, Ben develops a friendship with Alice, Adam's widow, and her 7-year-old son Max.

Review

.

Considering this is a debut author this book is cracking! It’s definitely a roller coaster of a ride from the car crash to the devilish twist at the end of the book! One I did not see coming from a mile off. 

.

Plot aside this book has well developed characters, even if I didn’t like the character (Ben) I still felt empathy for the situation he was in. The son Max is just simply adorable. 

.

The only reason this isn’t 5⭐️ is because I don’t think you can rely on people acting a certain way. I can’t really say much more than that as it would be giving the twist away at the end. 

.

This is definitely a page-turner, I finished it in one day! I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this to friends!
