I've been meaning to read something by Jenny Hilborne for a while as I have heard great things about her novels. Given that I have limited reading time available, I was happy to find she had released this short story, something that wouldn't take much time to read. I really enjoyed this story. It's well written and entertaining. It's a compelling read, well-paced, and deals with an important social issue. Although it's very short, Hilborne has managed to explore the subject of how a victim might be affected by trauma, in an interesting way. The ending is quite chilling. I was left with a feeling that this story could be the beginning of a potential novel... there's lots of food for thought here.My only complaint would be that it's too short. I didn't want it to end! This Kindle edition also contains bonus material; the first 2 chapters from Hilborne's novelHide and Seek (Jackson mystery)I would recommend this story to those who enjoy thrillers, and as a great introduction to Hilborne's writing. I am now looking forward to reading more of this writer's work.
