Cross Her Heart by Sarah Pinborough

The Blurb On The Back:

”Cross my heart and hope to die …”

Promises only last if you trust each other, but what if one of you is hiding something? A secret no one could ever guess.

Someone is living a lie.

Is it Lisa? Maybe it’s her daughter, Ava. Or could it be her best friend, Marilyn?

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

It is difficult to review Sarah Pinborough’s psychological thriller without spoiling it but this is a well-executed, pacey read that centres on the relationship between the 3 women while taking on board physical and emotional abuse, intense friendships and a horrific crime that the media will never let people forgive or forget but I did find the antagonist to veer close to being two-dimensional and I wished the ending had been a little braver.

Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
