Janus has written a best selling novel and has moved with Kay, his wife, and their children, Liv and Casper, from Melbourne to Los Angeles where he is working on a screenplay and hoping to see his book turned into a movie. Liv, 22 years old and studying fashion design, wakes up one morning in pain and covered in bruises with no recollection of leaving a party the night before. She is in her brother’s bedroom and finds a padlock on her bedroom door.
So begins a mysterious, suspenseful story. Liv’s parents tell her she is locked out of her bedroom because mould has been found there but they wont tell her how she came by her injuries and her mother is furious with her. Liv earns a little money babysitting for the next door neighbours and so a new element is introduced into this intriguing book.
Kay, Liv’s mother, and Casper, her brother, are separately and individually having difficulties adjusting to life in America. Anna Snoekstra drops little clues throughout the story and I picked up on some of them, but I wasn’t prepared for the real answer to what was behind the locked door.
This was an absolutely ripping yarn and fans of mystery and suspense and spot on characterisations are going to love it. Thank you, Anna Snoekstra, for a thoroughly enjoyable read!
Thanks to NetGalley for my copy.
