This time she presents her readers with the worst nightmare for any parent or caregiver, the death of a child. Sometimes it isn’t black or white, and the grey areas can be difficult to navigate.
McAllister likes to present her readers with moral conundrums. Read my review of Everything but the Truth by Gillian McAllister Read my review of No Further Questions by Gillian McAllister Read my review of Anything You Do Say by Gillian McAllister Publisher: Penguin pub date 18 April 2019 You know what they say sometimes if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck – sometimes it’s just a duck.īuy The Evidence Against You at Amazon Uk or go to Goodreads for any other retailer. It’s a psychological thriller that will keep you on your toes and keep you guessing until the end. McAllister gives the reader a riveting read full of doubt, self-doubt and speculation. Did he do it or didn’t he? What does Izzy believe or rather what does she want to believe? It’s a perfect game of cat and mouse, simultaneously it is a mind game full of paranoia and suspicion. At the same time she lies to her loved ones about looking for the real guilty party, and because they think her father is guilty in their eyes there is no danger. She wants what is left of her family back so badly that she is willing to risk her life to prove her father is innocent. I enjoyed the way the author portrayed the main character in complete emotional turmoil. She decides to start her own investigation into the brutal homicide of her mother, despite all the evidence pointing firmly in the direction of her family.
The same man who was found guilty by a jury of his peers and who showed remorse to the parole board, is now saying that he didn’t do it and that the guilty party is still out there somewhere. That is already a quandary, but what really shakes Izzy to her core is the fact her father maintains his innocence. Izzy is sent into a little tailspin, because she doesn’t know whether she should forgive him or stay away from him. He has spent the last seventeen years behind bars for the murder of his wife and her mother. Today is the day her father is being released from prison. Izzy English isn’t sure whether she should be relieved or worried. In fact her speciality is the murky variety of grey shades when it comes to questions of guilt, innocence and the foggy swampland of neither in between. She picks scenarios with no clear black or white answers. McAllister is getting quite the reputation when it comes to the premises of her books.
