Synopsis

Have you been bad enough? When her stepmother dies unexpectedly, Caro returns to her childhood home in the rural English countryside. She hadn’t seen Elizabeth in years, but the remote farmhouse offers refuge from a bad relationship, and a chance to start again. But going through Elizabeth’s belongings unearths memories Caro would rather stay buried. In particular, the story her stepmother would tell her, about two little girls and the terrible thing they do. As heavy snow traps Caro in the village, where her neighbours stare and whisper, Caro is forced to question why Elizabeth hated her so much, and what she was hiding. But does she really want to uncover the truth? A haunting and twisty story about the lies we tell those closest to us, perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Cass Green.

This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life in Books. I didn't love this one. My feelings about this book are actually pretty mixed.

Goodreads review by Miriam on February 03, 2019

I was very excited to be given a copy of "Cuckoo" by Sophie Draper as it was being talked about a lot on social media and I really liked the sound of the blurb.

I loved the book for the first quarter or so - I felt like the author did a great job setting the stage, and making the book atmospheric.
