really liked it

Family means everything to Sheridan. Her brother Lachy is finally home in Australia and she's excited about Easter with both of their families. But when a traumatic incident tears the families apart, she blames him.
Lachy knows he's not coping right now but his sister doesn't have the full story. And there are some gaps in his memory. How is he connected to a DNA request, a missing woman, and a hit and run?

As soon as I started reading, I immediately recognised Petronella’s storytelling style. The family drama aspect was so good and played so well with the psychological suspense elements.

I loved the concept of DNA being a trace that could never be wiped out. I had no idea where the story would go beyond the first look at the synopsis, and I was wondering where and how the past timeline would meet the current one. But once I realised what it was about, I had a lightbulb moment!

I listened to this on audiobook, and it was narrated really well. I remember I was outside doing chores when I reached the reveal, and I had to stop what I was doing to focus and process the rest of the story. Another well written book from Petronella!

(Thanks to NetGalley and Wavesound Australia for a gifted copy in exchange for an honest review)
