HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW
When the man suspected of attacking Tess’s teenage daughter is released from custody, she is frustrated and furious. Neither Emma or the lady that came to her rescue that night could identify the man in a police line up. A couple of days later Tess sees the man in the street and swears that she will make sure that he doesn’t get the chance to attack any other young girls. With the support and encouragement of her daughter’s rescuer, Frances, she embarks on a mission to ‘out’ her daughter’s attacker and destroy his reputation.
Oh my this is like poking a bear with a stick, you get a few little warning growls to back off to start with but there is nowhere to hide if you go too far. Tess’s mental state isn’t in a good place with her life and health having more cracks in it than a condemned building as she is emotionally torn between her aged parents, her daughters, and ex-husband.
Tammy Cohen has again served up a heart pounder that makes reading the addiction it is to me. Loved the interwoven storylines of menopause, dementia, single parents and accepting that kids love their dads too. But most of all I loved how Tess was portrayed. This modern-day single parent coping with aged parents, in the care in the community system that real means get family to support more, and learning to let go of not only grown-up children but past relationships. This all rolled up in the hormonal battle of menopause.
I wish to thank NetGalley and the publisher for an e-copy of this book which I have reviewed honestly.
