Many thanks to NetGalley, Scribner, and Michael Robotham for the opportunity to read his latest thriller. While I'm heartbroken to have to wait for the next book to find out more of what happens, I'm so excited that this will be a series involving Cyrus Haven. Robotham has been a favorite author of mine forever and this book is the perfect example of why.
There are multiple storylines here but they all fold together in classic Robotham style. A young girl is found hidden in a house where someone was brutally murdered. She won't tell anyone about her past and no one can figure out who she is or any details about her identity. She is being held in a secure children's home for troubled youth. She also has a unique ability - she is able to tell when someone is lying. A psychologist, Cyrus Haven, is brought into the case when the girl, now called Evie, asks to be declared 18 and released. Meanwhile, an Olympic-hopeful teenage skater, Jodie, is found murdered. While someone eventually confesses, is that the end of the story? Cyrus, himself damaged from his childhood, works on both cases.
Wow - just a great read. It leaves questions at the end to leave you anxiously awaiting the next book! Highly recommended!
