Fifteen year old Milly is the daughter of a notorious serial killer. Following her mother's arrest she has a new identity and a new life in London with her foster family, psychologist Mike, his wife Saskia and their daughter Phoebe. The run up to her Mother's high profile trial is an intense and difficult time for Milly as she is being prepared to give evidence and she is also struggling to fit in with a new life where she is bullied at school and tormented by Phoebe.
Narrated by Milly Good Me, Bad Me will soon have the reader wondering if Milly knows more than she is telling and, even more chillingly, if she is perhaps more like her Mother than she is revealing.
Written by Ali Land a mental health expert, this is a dark and menacing tale that I found to be unputdownable. Good Me Bad me is a spine tingling read infused with a sense of dread. The story is truly gripping and the sensitive nature of the material is carefully handled. Expertly written, Milly is a truly believable character - at times I felt as if I were reading a case study in a text book.
This is one of the best books that I have read in a long time, if you like psychological suspense this book will not disappoint.
Highly recommended.
