Synopsis

Sometimes it’s easier to believe the lie. But is the truth right in front of you?Everyone says Poppy jumped. My beautiful, creative sister, with her paint-splattered dresses and sunshine smile, took her own life. And I think they’re right. Until the day I get a call from a man with a very similar story.Everyone says his sister jumped too. But he has proof that she was pushed. And if she was, I have to ask myself: could the same thing have happened to Poppy? In the moments before she died, was she really calling me to say goodbye, or was she calling for my help? Was she really alone on that cliff edge?When Poppy’s friends tell me she had a serious boyfriend, I feel like I’m losing my grip on reality. If they were so madly in love, wouldn’t she have told me? Wouldn’t there be pictures of them together? And when I find the silver heart necklace he gave her, I feel sick. It’s the same silver heart another murdered girl was given in the weeks before she died.This can’t be a coincidence. Either I’ve lost my mind, or the man my darling sister loved killed her. And if he could charm his way into her life so easily, what’s to say he’s not already in mine?

This was WAY heavier than I expected. I knew it was about a murder thought to be a suicide, but there is a theme of suicide throughout the entire book. It's very dark, sad, and depressing. It was well written, if a bit too long, but definitely be aware going into it that it's more sad than thrilling......more

Goodreads review by Lynda

This started off really well for me and I feel mean only leaving 3* but it got to be a bit too draggy in places and has taken me an absolute AGE to work my way through !! It was a Kindle First one I picked for October. It has actually taken me 3 weeks to read which has to be some sort of record. I'v......more
