No Further Questions by Gillian McAllister ** Blog Tour Review **

I am delighted to be taking part in the celebrations for the eBook release of Gillian McAllister's third book, No Further Questions. The paperback copy will be published on October 4th. 
 

Your baby died in your sister's care - the police think it's murder but she insists she's innocent. Who do you believe?

The police say she's guilty.
She insists she's innocent.

She's your sister.
You loved her.
You trusted her.
But they say she killed your child.

Who do you believe?

My Thoughts

This is an impressive psychological thriller in which Gillian's experience as a lawyer shines through. You are presented with the court case with two sisters on opposing sides of a murder trial and taken through the case as it unfolds. As you progress through, you are given glimpses into the thoughts of the two sisters and the complexity of their relationship. It is clear that 'something' is missing from the evidence and the reader is kept guessing to the end.

    You can't help but wonder what you would have done in either of the sisters' shoes and the effect of the case on the wider family becomes apparent. I particularly liked the anguish of their parents as they tried to get through the trial with loyalties to both of their daughters. Always present in the novel is the baby Layla who died. I found the story to be poignant and affecting as it stripped away at what it is to be a parent. 

In short: Superb.
