The Blurb –
A secret video tape. A painful truth. A quest for revenge.
Investigative journalist, Susan ‘Stripe’ McLachlan, is constantly hounded by eager documentarians for interview requests about the Night Scrawler murders. One of the victims of the mysterious serial killer was a member of her own family, her father.
At the peak of her career, her services are sought by Isaac Payne who commissions her to write an article for his website. Usually, her projects delve into more uncomfortable, questionable topics, but there’s a deep, almost hauntingly familiar pull about her new client that intrigues her.
As she learns more about Isaac, Stripe digs up fresh secrets about the murders, arousing her suspicions. After an awkward confrontation, she wakes up in Isaac’s bed — with a chain around her ankle.
Isaac shows her harrowing footage on an old VHS tape. The contents hits close to home…closer than Stripe ever imagined. Now, she has to wrestle with her own moral compass and unpick the truth from the web of lies that turn into a crescendo where memories created from misery and suffering cannot be silenced.
Will Isaac ever lay the past to rest? And how will Stripe cope with the revelations that challenge everything she has ever known?
Today is my stop on the Forgive Me blog tour. Many thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources for the chance to read and review.
My thoughts – Wow this is a great read.
The book encompasses so many things within it, even though it is not a huge novel. I would say it is not for the faint hearted but if you are a horror fan you will love it. Along with a great story line there is a generous amount of gore that should please any horror fans.
It is well written and the book moves at a quick pace. This is a debut novel and I look forward to reading more of the author’s work.
