Die Jungautorin Lowen Ashleigh bekommt ein Angebot, das sie unmöglich ablehnen kann: Sie soll die gefeierten Psychothriller von Starautorin Verity Crawford zu Ende schreiben. Diese ist seit einem Autounfall, der unmittelbar auf denTod ihrer beiden Töchter folgte, nicht mehr ansprechbar und ein dauerhafter Pflegefall.
Lowen akzeptiert – auch, weil sie sich zu Veritys Ehemann Jeremy hingezogen fühlt. Während ihrer Recherchen im Haus der Crawfords findet sie Veritys Tagebuch und darin offenbart sich Lowen Schreckliches ...

Things I liked:
- The suspense in the first part of the story, where nothing of interest happens but the tension is still very strong.
- The interesting plot idea
Things I did not like:
- The execution of the plot. The final plot twist is really kind of stupid and not believable at all.
- Flat characters. I mean, who is Jeremy, apart from a guy that likes to get his dick sucked? I still have no clue.
- Illogical and unnecessary plot lines. Why the horrific accident in the first pages? Why is the relationship with her agent given so much attention when it says so little?
All in all, this book left me disappointed.
