A psychological suspense novel that explores the loss by a mother of a young daughter, whose heart in turn provided the only way of survival for someone else's daughter of a similar age. Grief can be so powerful that a mother can start to belief that the heart carries the essence of her daughter. Though it is a slow burn, with a focus over developing the relevant psychological conditions, this novel never loses its 'edge'. Thoroughly engaging.
