Synopsis (publisher)
WOULD YOU SAVE THE MAN
WHO DESTROYED YOUR LIFE?
When paramedic Megan Lowe is called to the scene of an attempted murder, all she can do is try to save the victim. But as the man is lifted onto a stretcher, she realises she knows him. She despises him. Why should she save his life when he destroyed hers?
Jess Foster is on her way home when she receives a text from Megan. Once best friends, the two women haven't been close for years, not since the night when they were just the teenage girls whom no-one believed; whose reputations were ruined. All Jess can think is, you had it coming.
Now Megan and Jess are at the centre of a murder investigation. But what secrets are they hiding? Can they trust one another? And who really is the victim?
My Take
I won't reveal just how Megan knew the attempted murder victim because that would spoil the plot for you. Certainly there is more to this plot than originally meets the eye. It raises issues that would affect anyone who is the victim of unwanted violence and also anyone who has lost a court case, or anyone who has been belittled in court.
The question also arises of how much Megan's situation was engineered.
Very well written and compulsive reading.
My rating: 4.6
