Reviews

Emma Washer

Emma was a wife, a mother, a colleague and slightly on the lonely side. By chilling, I mean really chilling - they reminded me of scenes in atmospheric horror films. After all, what is more terrifying than losing your mind? The set up had an authentic feel to it.

This is a twisty, dark and creepy psychological thriller that at times does appear to be slightly repetitive, but with each repetition, you learn more clues and it definitely adds to the feeling of a mind cracking and beginning to splinter. I really liked Emma (although I may be slightly biased) but you find yourself rooting for her even as you are secretly doubting her sanity at times. Caught between terror, paranoia and denial – everyone is beginning to wonder if madness truly does run in the family! Emma and her sister Phoebe didn’t have the best childhood; with an unstable mother who couldn’t sleep and muttered to herself constantly, culminating with the unthinkable happening on their mothers’ fortieth birthday – a day that ended with two traumatised children and a mother secured in a psychiatric hospital.

Emma Averell is a success story – a rags to riches, high powered divorce attorney with two beautiful children and a stay at home husband, all living together in a large and beautiful house – a seemingly perfect life. I couldn’t trust any of the characters which ended with me having a million theories as to what was going on.
