The Blame Game

There are two sides to every story.

He came to me for help with his marriage.

I was alone and afraid. She was there when I needed to talk.

I needed to make him understand that he had to get away.

I knew what I needed to do. I just couldn’t do it on my own. I trusted her.

Now it has gone too far. And I can’t tell anyone what I have done.

Now I have nowhere to turn and I just pray they find me before she does.

And then there's the truth.

A dark, entertaining and suspenseful thriller from Sandie Jones.

Where there was truth, now there are lies and only one thing is certain, their half-sister’s arrival has ruined everything . . .
