Synopsis

When a pregnant woman is imprisoned on suspicion of murder, she must fight to prove her innocence from behind bars or her baby may be given away to whoever framed her...

Framed. Imprisoned. Pregnant. It's her worst nightmare...

Jenna Burns thought she had the perfect life: a loving fiancé, a great job, a beautiful home.

Then she returns home one day to find her stepdaughter murdered; her partner missing.

And the police think it was her...

Jenna knows she's been framed. But how can she prove it from behind bars?

And then she finds out she is pregnant.
It's not only her life at stake.

Surrounded by prisoners who'd hurt her if they knew what she's accused of; aware that someone outside hates her enough to kill; Jenna will do whatever it takes to clear her name, save her baby, and find out the truth.

But can she do it in time?

Goodreads review by Barbie on March 08, 2019

My thoughts in a nutshell Wow, I enjoyed it! I haven't read such spine-chilling book as this one for a long time. The story is about… Skip over this point if you don't like the sneak peek. Jenna has a happy life. She is a member of a loving family, and she has a perfect fiance. Then Jenna was arreste......more

Goodreads review by Mandy on March 01, 2019

I have heard so much about this book through my various social media sites that I was desperate to read it. And having read previous books by Angela Clarke I knew that I would be in for a treat - and I was not wrong. This book was amazing and I would have read it in one go if real life hadn't gotten......more

Goodreads review by 8stitches 9lives on March 06, 2019

I was quite apprehensive about picking this up due to the hype surrounding it but it actually deserves the noise it's generating. I was riveted after the first few pages and the short, snappy chapters created a momentum which propelled me through. The tension builds and builds with each turn of the......more

Goodreads review by Angela on March 07, 2019

I made the mistake of starting this book a couple of days before moving house. Consequently I didn't want to pack, I didn't want to organise and throughout the move I had to know where this book was at all times (given the thousands of books we moved this was no mean feat). But, I had to know where......more

Goodreads review by The Book Review Café on March 04, 2019

4.5 ⭐️ Hells bells what an exciting and engrossing read On My Life by Angela Clarke turned out to be. If you love a prison drama, then look no further, it’s definitely dramatic, the vivid prison scenes depicted by the author give a sense of malevolence that radiate from its pages, it’s a book that’s......more

Quotes

An angry, powerful read - one of those rare crime novels with more to deliver than routine thrills.

I loved it. A searing take on the treatment of women in prison as well as a fast-paced and smart thriller.

What an amazing, roller-coaster ride and also a searing indictment of the way women are treated in prison. Highly recommended.

ON MY LIFE by Angela Clarke is a heart-rending mystery, and an unflinching study of life in the prison system.

Mesmerising and unflinching. Angela Clarke's meticulously researched book expertly captures the sense of fear and dog-eat-dog mentality that permeates our institutions. A propulsive, utterly compelling novel.

A compelling, vividly realised prison drama with a mystery at its heart. Hugely enjoyed it.

It's her best yet. ON MY LIFE is a claustrophobic helter skelter that had me racing to the end to find out who was telling the truth!

Intelligent, pacy thriller... Taut, claustrophobic, fast-paced, moving. An incredibly gripping read.

Compelling, intense, and breathtakingly brilliant.

This book was so heaped with tension, threat and menace that I had to read it very quickly! Absolutely engrossing and entertaining as well as being a searing indictment of the penal system. This is an eye-opening, jaw-dropping read that will keep you up to the wee small hours.
