#Book #Review The Summer House by Keri Beevis
Mead House was once our childhood home.
Despite my fears, I always knew we would have to return to face the demons of our past.
Back to the place where it happened, to where, as carefree teenagers, we lost our elder sister in the most brutal of circumstances.
As executors of our grandmother’s will, my twin brother, Ollie, and I needed to empty the house for resale.
What I didn’t expect to discover was my sister’s secret journal that contained her most private thoughts and shocking dark secrets.
Now I am questioning everything that I saw that night. Did I get it wrong, who I saw?
Did my evidence send an innocent man, my then boyfriend’s brother, to jail for the last 17 years?
I know I have no choice. If I want to find answers, I will have to go back to that fateful night my sister died. When she made her last visit to the summer house.
REVIEW
Lana and her twin brother Ollie are back at their grandmother Kitty’s house following her death, neither of them have been back for a period of time since their sister Camille death 17 years ago.
They are there to clear out the house and ready it for putting it on the market to sell, and in doing so they unearth her sisters hidden journal, and in those pages Lana discovers that her sister was seeing someone other than her current boyfriend Sebastian,
When her sister was murdered Lana testified that she saw Sebastian on the night of her death, which saw him go to prison for her murder, now with the revelation in this journal could she have been wrong? Could it have been someone other than Sebastian she really saw?
Lana had a thing for Xavi – Sebastian’s brother and when he was sent to prison she lost not only sister but Xavi as well, so now she is back in town and with the discovery of the journal she meets with him to discuss the possibility that she was wrong.
Lana really has set the cat amongst the pigeons with finding the journal, and when it goes missing she has no proof to show Xavi. And not only that she becomes the target of the true killer when she is deliberately ran over then almost killed by being stuffed in the boot of car with its fumes in a locked garage!
We are giving tidbits of who it could be, there were three on my radar and when they were being excluded I was left scratching my head wondering who it was, then when that moment it was revealed who it was I was excited as they were not on my radar!
The Summer House was a great read and really sucked me in.
