Driving to the cottage she's newly inherited, Ellie is so excited that she barely notices when the car bumps against something. That evening Ellie hears a news flash; a man was seriously injured in a hit and run.

Could she have been responsible for putting a man in hospital? Unable to hold the doubts at bay, she decides to visit the victim, little knowing that the consequences of this decision will change her life forever.

I pretty much guessed the outcome quite early on however I enjoyed it non the less

little predictable but enjoyable

Romps along in the background okay, but all a bit silly really, and I'm not even going to mention the bubble-wrap.
Disappointing given 'I Thought I Knew You' her other novel, which was, in my view, a much better read, and a proper page turner.

Its okay....

Having read Penny Hancocks other two books Tideline and The darkening Hour I was quite disappointed this book wasn't of the same standard. This story seems a little far fetched with too many coincidences, to be believable.

Not her best

Listened to the whole book but in my opinion the main character made some fairly unbelievable decisions!

A bit far fetched

Great read.
