I was in a sad, sad mood. I heard a knock
Me: Go away… I am sad
Stranger: Come on, open up. Just a little bit…
Me: I don’t wanna
Stranger: I have come to your kindle. Just read a page..
Me: Just one page?
Stranger Book: Right
Me: Okay…
A few minutes later…
Me: Woah! There’s a murder
Stranger Book: Uh-huh
A couple of minutes later…
Me: And a missing baby
Stranger Book: Yeah
Me: Whaaaat!! A fake identity
Stranger Book: Yessss!!
Me with stars in my eyes: Who are you?
Stranger Book: I’m – I Could Be You
Me with a big, big grin: Sheila Bugler is a fab writer
Friendly Book: Tell her that!!
And that’s how I got to be reading this fantastic book by author Sheila Bugler.
A woman Katie found dead on the road by her landlord Dee and her 2-year-old boy Jake missing. The cops came out with a revelation about Katie not being who she was, and Dee started her investigation.
My first book by author Sheila Bugler, and I was blown away by the twists which started right from the first chapter. The author’s writing brought me out from my doldrums, and spike in my heart rate was a welcome change. She made me react to the story with her writing, and I felt alive.
The afternoon was a witness to me just tapping my kindle, trying to read as fast as I could to get to the end. The twists were aplenty, and they forced me to follow the crumbs of the reveals. Written in twin timelines, I got to know snippets of Katie’s life too along with Dee’s present investigation.
There was something magical about this book. It gripped my mind and kept it so engrossed for the three hours that it took me to complete it. The only niggle was that the mid-section could have been spruced up. But the end more than made up for it.
Overall, it was a book which invigorated me and kept my brain hooked to it.
I received a free ARC from NetGalley and publisher, and this is my journey into its pages, straight from the heart!! STRICTLY HONEST AND UNBIASED.
All my reviews can be read here
A life has been taken. But whose life is it?
On a stifling hot day, former journalist Dee Doran finds the crumpled body of her friend at the roadside. Katie and her little boy, Jake, have been a light in Dee’s otherwise desolate life – now a woman is dead and a child is missing.
Katie has been keeping secrets for a long time. Years earlier, she fell for the wrong person. But he was in love with someone else; who he couldn’t have but couldn’t keep away from. When jealousy and desire spilled over into murder Katie hid the truth, and has been pretending ever since.
As Dee assists the police with their enquiries she’s compelled to investigate too. She realises Katie wasn’t who she claimed to be. Lies are catching up. Stories are unravelling. Revenge is demanded and someone must pay the price. The question is: who?

My Kindle talks to me – usually in taunts and snorts 😉
Mine tapped me today and I tapped back 😂😂😂😂
Great review, Shalini. You drew me in…fast!. This sounds like a great read.
This perked me right up… I have been reading some blah books which pulled me down… But this one helped me
Sounds brilliant Shalini! Great review. Might just have to pop over to NG and see if it’s still available…….
Ah I hope you get it. She was a new author for me. Have you read her books?
No, I haven’t. And it had already been archived on NG, so it’s now on my library list. *:) Will look out for others by this author though. Thanks Shalini .
It is on kindle unlimited if you have the subscription or any of your friends have it
Great review! And now I think I have to give this one a try too!
