A Suspenseful, Psychological Thriller

A gripping story about a young woman who suffers from a chronic illness that involves memory loss gaps. When Isla Wilson accepts a one-month photography shoot in Scotland, she leaves the security of her socially sheltered life in Sydney, Australia, having no clue why she was drawn to a freelance job offer in another country.  This decision results in shocking repercussions and revelations as she tries to discover who murdered, Elodie McGregor, her new clients' 8-year-old daughter, and why this young girl's parents seem displeased she has arrived to stay on their estate to undertake the photo shoot. Not only is Isla's life threatened, but as the truth behind the little girl's death begins to unravel, Isla discovers that she, herself, has a dark secret that may change her life forever.

A very enjoyable fast-paced read with creative plot twists woven around interesting characters and set in the beautiful backdrop of Scotland.
