Just looking at the cover of the book should draw you in straight away. This book was a great read. I couldn't put it down and took it everywhere and read it everywhere at every opportunity.The main character Helen is extremely well written and comes across as a strong, vengeful yet kind and loving person all rolled into one. I really liked her and how her character was portrayed.  There are some really strong characters in the book and some really quirky ones. I love how the characters in the halfway house were all so different and all so likeable.The way the author constructed the family makeup of Helens extended family was great too, and you went from hating them to liking them, to distrusting them all.The descriptive writing of all the different locations was also so good that you could picture them vividly as if you had been there yourself.It was a bit of a whodunit type book, and just when you thought you knew who the murderer was, the author flipped the story and made you doubt yourself. It was full of twists and turns which made it so good that you don't want to put it down.If you like family saga's with a bit of murder mystery thrown in, then this is the book of the year for you.I was sent this book by the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
