Guilty by Joy Hindle
'A gripping suspense thriller focusing on a mother’s love and a killer’s crime
When Sadie is sentenced to life imprisonment for a terrible crime, her family is left reeling and question every aspect of the past they shared. How could this blue-eyed child have grown up to become a remorseless killer? Is her upbringing to blame, or is there something darker at the root of her being? In a quiet Yorkshire village, Caroline had longed for a baby and was prepared to do whatever it took to become a mother. But as Sadie grows up, Caroline’s fierce motherly love drives her to overlook and defend Sadie’s unsettling behaviour. More than twenty years later, Caroline still tries to keep her troubled secrets about Sadie’s birth hidden from her husband, Simon, and their marriage crumbles. Their two grown-up sons, Bri and Oliver, have both distanced themselves from their parents as they attempt to make sense of their family falling apart. Now Bri wants to prove that his sister is worth fighting for and mounts a campaign to appeal her case, but a tragic event stops him in his tracks. His brother Oliver returns from overseas to make peace with the family and takes up the baton, bringing with him a surprising addition to the family group. As the past web of Caroline’s deceit is unravelled, uncomfortable memories are stirred and closure is hard to find. Is there still a chance of redemption? Or will it come too late? On one level a novel about a mother’s love in the face of family conflict and loss, Guilty succeeds in combining a suspense-filled plot with a closer look at the human mind, using references to real-life historic cases of psychopathy.
