When we were young, Sarah and I did a terrible thing – but it was only me who paid the price. Now, just when I thought no one from my old life would ever find me, a note is slid under my door: I haven’t forgotten. I haven’t forgiven. FOUND YOU.My best friend Sarah and I used to spend all our time in a place we called the Doll House. It was just an old, abandoned cottage in the woods behind our house but it was heaven to us. Until one of our games went wrong. And someone ended up dead.It was an accident, or at least Sarah told me it was. But when I tried to tell the police that I wasn’t involved, they didn’t believe me. When the Doll House Girls were splashed across the newspapers, it was my face they showed under the headlines. I’m the one who stood trial.Now, twenty years on, I’ve made a new life with a new identity. I have a wonderful husband, Carl, and Jacob, our adorable son. Despite everything in my past, I’m happy.Then the first note arrives. FOUND YOU. Soon other threats start coming, and the person behind them is clear they’d be willing to hurt my family – to hurt Jacob – to get to me. I know who they are. And I know what they’re capable of. The other doll… The girl who got away with murder.

Review
Reading a Casey Kelleher book means you are in for a gritty gangland crime. Because I don’t read blurbs anymore, I was convinced she would take me in this direction again. Boy oh boy was I in for a surprise. She served me a splendid psychological thriller I thoroughly enjoyed.
How would you feel when your normal, happy life is suddenly deeply disturbed. When the first incident happenes, you sweep it under the carpet and you convince the people around you it’s nothing, but deep down you know it’s far from innocent. You know the secrets you have been hiding for a long time and you just don’t want them to come to the surface.
When you feel the heat being turned up, it’s time to act and to put a stop to it, once and for all before it’s too late.
From the very beginning I was intrigued and the more I read the more confused I got. What was going on? What was real and who or what should I believe?
A great story. I loved the characters the author created and I felt for what the main role player had to endure.5 stars.
Thank you, Casey Kelleher and Bookouture
