I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy this book. It doesn't start off well. Alice and her son Lou come across as cold and I really didn't like them. At first. However, I liked the premise so decided to keep reading. Once the story opened up, I realised they were going to have more depth and wanted to know what was going on. This is a book that raises a lot of questions that are gradually revealed. Why did Lou die? Did Kane kill him? Is Indigo right about her son's innocence and if so, who is the killer? What is Alice really up to? Will Indigo find out who she is and how will she react? I loved the way the book explores motherhood and the bond between parents and children. I loved the dual narrative used in the book.
