SAYING ABOUT SUSANNA BEARD:
“This novel bears all the hallmarks of a great thriller. It not only deals with huge issues like greed, guilt, evil and revenge, but with Anna’s deeply personal search for justice, reconciliation, forgiveness and trust. Her journey takes her to the very limits of herself but, at its heart, [this] is also a story about love in its best forms and I defy anyone not to get swept up in it.” Claire Dyer
“It is taut and tense and builds to an electrifying conclusion.”Kirsten Hesketh

gripping — an impressive achievement.” Shelley Weiner
“I enjoyed Susanna’s emotiveand thought-provoking novel — I thought it was an engrossing mystery and loved the Lithuanian setting. She dealt with some dark themes and created great three-dimensional characters, especially Anna, who was complex and engaging. I wanted to go along with her in her journey for finding the truth.”

My Review
Nestled in a tower of pillows like Princess and the Pea, snug with hot water bottles and blankets, I have my reading fort set, complete with Hot chocolate and marshmallows.
The blurb got me thinking, how would I react, how would family react, would it change me as a person? would family really see you as the same again?
Very different to my normal read, but I liked the deeper thoughts that went with this, weighing up guilt, greed, envy and fear. Losing friends, gaining different perspectives, it’s all in here, and your in for one hell of a ride.
What an read, thoroughly loved every page, and how it’s lingered on long after reading, money really can change the world, though not always for the best, are you prepared for that?
