Book Description:
Joanne didn’t believe that her life could become worse than it already was. She had lost everybody and everything she had loved. She was alone. Surely she had suffered enough? The press had called her identical twins psychopaths. Her Maggie. Her Annie. But she still loved them, even though one of them had killed her husband, Jeff. Joanne believed that his murder had been an accident. How could one of her girls be a murderer? She knew them better than anybody else. They were good girls really.
She just had to prove it.
The brutal murder of her god-daughter Laura had never been solved. Items were missing when Laura’s remains had been discovered: clues that could lead to the capture of her killer. One of them was Laura’s doll … the doll that Joanne later discovered in her home. Joanne is facing the most horrific dilemma of her life. Has the wrong woman been imprisoned? Could her child have used such brutality against her best friend? Or could both women be innocent after all?
She needs to find somebody for her daughter to confide in; somebody she will trust. She needs a miracle. There is only one person who can help. He is compassionate and caring, with an amazing ability to gain the trust of the most difficult patients. He is Joanne's only hope. He is Jonathan Davies.
My Review:
Overall, a fantastic read.
My Rating: 5/5

My Review:
The story is about a mother Joanne and her 2 twin daughters Annie and Maggie who are her little angels. A mother always loves her children however they might be. Joanne couldn't accept when one or both of her daughters are psychopaths and murdered a few brutally. There is also a confusion on who is the killer out of those twins as both lie and try to look innocent. While she is weak with her illness, her mother’s past also depress her a lot.
The story is written as a journal of Joanne and her daughters. This gave the reader an opportunity to understand the feelings of each character from their perspective. Still, the suspense continues and we will also be confused as Joanne on which daughter is evil.
I loved the way the plot is revealed in the form of a diary. Characters are intriguing and unpredictable which made this novel a good suspense thriller. The book cover is scary and the title is very apt. The characterization and the narration are perfect though i felt the pace slowed a bit in the middle.
