Our Review
This psychological thriller follows a controversial journalist who gets dangerously close to a convicted killer's mind when she agrees to write a book about a death row inmate's crimes. Charley Webb, a single mother already navigating public criticism and family tensions, finds her professional ambition colliding with maternal instincts as Jill Rohmer's disturbing confession pulls her into a dark world of murder and manipulation.
Fielding masterfully builds tension through the contrast between Charley's public persona as a fearless writer and her private vulnerability as a parent. The novel's strength lies in how it explores the ethical boundaries of true crime journalism while delivering genuine suspense that escalates with each revelation. Readers who appreciate complex female protagonists and morally ambiguous thrillers will find themselves completely absorbed by this chilling exploration of how pursuing darkness can threaten everything you hold dear.
