Book #122 read in 2024

Stella is an attorney who specializes in working with traumatized children because she was one herself. Her newest client is 9-year-old Rose Barclay, who has not spoken since her nanny died in mysterious circumstances.  Stella realizes right away that something is not right in the Barclay household, and as she is trying to determine which would be the best custodial parent, she also tries to figure out what happened to the nanny. 

Sarah Pekkanen delivers a twisty and suspenseful novel that had me guessing until the end. Every character is used as a red herring, making it almost impossible to figure out the ending. This is a must-read for thriller lovers!
