***********
'Addictively scary and thrillingly audacious' Nicci French
'Captivating, cleverly constructed' Paula Hawkins
'One of the best writers in the genre. Properly chilling' Red
'I heard the swish of falling paper. I grazed my knuckles retrieving a beige folder, its grubby white ribbon loose. Looping doctor's handwriting. Addresses. Dates. Names. Photographs! I had found the patients whose notes would bring the past back to life.'
A lifetime ago, a patient escaped Nazareth mental asylum. They covered their tracks carefully. Or so they thought.
Thirty years ago, Marianne Smy committed a crime then fled from her home to leave the past behind. Or so she thought.
Now, Marianne has been forced to return. Nazareth asylum has been converted to luxury flats, but its terrible hold on her is still strong. A successful academic, a loving mother and a loyal wife, she fears her secret being revealed and her world shattering.
She is right to be scared.

No one can write psychological thriller like Kelly.
This novel was so unsettling that it kept me on my toes.
A lifetime ago, a patient escaped Nazareth mental asylum. They covered their tracks carefully. Or so they thought.
Thirty years ago, Marianne Smy committed a crime then fled from her home to leave the past behind. Or so she thought.
Now, Marianne has been forced to return. Nazareth asylum has been converted to luxury flats, but its terrible hold on her is still strong. A successful academic, a loving mother and a loyal wife, she fears her secret being revealed and her world shattering.
She is right to be scared.
Thanks to NetGalley and Hodder Straighten for giving me an advance copy.

This was definitely a slow burner and took me a long time to really get gripped but that hits around 2/3 in, quite a long way in my opinion BUT wow, when it gets going it gets going!
Broken down into different parts with the later parts going more into the history within and behind the long abandoned Asylum which is written about from the get go.
The opening scene is actually really fast paced and intense, literally gripping you, sadly that tension almost depletes straight after but keep with it.
I must say one of the biggest positives for me was the actual setting. The Victorian mental institution is so well described you can picture it as clear as day in your mind. The building seems to take on a life of it's own, superbly written.
I can't go into much detail without ruining the plots twists, all I can say is give it a go and dont give up!
4*
