ABOUT THIS BOOK There’s a stranger in your house… When her stepmother dies unexpectedly, Caro returns to her childhood home in Derbyshire. She hadn’t seen Elizabeth in years, but the remote farmhouse offers refuge from a bad relationship, and a chance to start again. But going through Elizabeth’s belongings unearths memories Caro would rather stay buried. In particular, the story her stepmother would tell her, about two little girls and the terrible thing they do. As heavy snow traps Caro in the village, where her neighbours stare and whisper, Caro is forced to question why Elizabeth hated her so much, and what she was hiding. But does she really want to uncover the truth? MY REVIEW Haunting, disturbing, and darkly atmospheric CUCKOO by Sophie Draper is a thriller with a mysterious edge. When Caro's stepmother suddenly dies it brings Caro back in touch with the sister who abandoned her years ago and she soon finds herself returning to her remote childhood home to focus on her illustrations. But Caro is still haunted by her past and being in this house only makes it worse. As she begins to go through the old house, memories and old stories start to come alive and Caro cannot help but wonder why her stepmother hated her so much and why the local villagers feel the same way towards her. She wants to know the truth but is she prepared for it? CUCKOO by Sophie Draper is a very well-written thriller with a unique edge and I really enjoyed it. It is a slow=paced story so if you are looking for a fast, energetic pace then this one may not be for you. There are so many elements that come together to work really well in this plot and there were times where I couldn't figure out where it was going but was intrigued by the result. CUCKOO by Sophie Draper is a fascinating debut and I look forward to reading more from this author. AUTHOR BIO Sophie Draper is a Derbyshire based author.
