Suspenseful Story

This is every mother’s worst nightmare - having your child taken from you. Little White Lies is a suspenseful novel keeping you engrossed until the end. Philippa has a way of taking an ordinary life, people with ordinary feelings and bringing it to life with a twist.

mixed feelings

The premise of this book has promise, and there were some interesting moments. Alot of the book just seemed to drag and drag. Also this Is about a missing child who comes home after 7 years, when thay happens it's just not conceivable that the police would just dump them off and say here ya go. The book does have some tender moments and she tried to bring the characters to life but it just didnt work. It wasnt horrible but a book of this style should have you thinking about it afterwards not saying thank goodness I'm finally done with that.

Good right from the start...

Different, interesting and extremely well written. Plenty of twists but believable. I was completely immersed the entire way through. It was touching too. Some of the insights of the 15 year old narrator reminded me of myself. Good character development... couldn't find anything at all wrong with this book. Two thumbs up!
