Paige, Richard and me. We thought we’d be friends forever. But everything changed the day we took the short cut home from school along the old railway line. I wish we’d gone the long way. I wish we hadn’t seen our classmate, pale and still in the undergrowth. And I wish we hadn’t promised to keep one, awful detail a secret just between us…

Twenty years later, I have a brand-new life, and try never to think about my old one. But I’m dragged back when Paige calls out of the blue. Richard has been accused of something terrible. Everyone back home is whispering about the body we found years ago, and saying Richard deserves to be locked up…

Before I know it, I’ve returned to the small town I thought I’d never see again. Paige is almost the same as I remember – jet-black hair, slender frame – but why does she seem so nervous?

Revealing the truth about what we saw that day twenty years ago could clear Richard’s name… but will the blame fall on me? And can I really trust that Paige is on my side – or is she hiding her own dark secret?

When we find a strange note in Richard’s flat, only one thing is for certain: someone else knows thetruth too. All three of us are in danger…
 

A totally addictive read by bestselling author Kerry Wilkinson about how the secrets from our past will always come back to haunt us. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, I Am Watching You and The Girl on the Train.

The Blame

First, I want to thank Kerry Wilkinson, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.


Congratulations to Kerry Wilkinson for having The Blame be the 30th book he has written be published by Bookouture. No other author has achieved this success prior!! 


Kerry based his story in Canada and listed various streets and landmarks. I spent a lot of time growing up in Canada for medical reasons but fell in love with the area. Reading all the places he mentioned I remembered many of the landmarks fondly. Thanks for taking me down memory lane. 


Kerry makes a powerful statement that is so incredibly true and so meaningful. How there is something about a childhood best friend that never leaves a person. 


The Blame deals with murder, bullying, cancer, being homophobic, gambling, taboo affair, etc. 


I too would be in shock had I found out my best friend from childhood killed someone. 

I wouldn’t know what to think!


Kerry had me cracking up laughing saying that Brothers and Sisters who call each other best friends are truly the weirdest people around. Siblings were never meant to be loving towards each other. They were meant to argue and torment. 


I found the articles of what happened that night Richard killed his head of class very interesting.


Note to self look for Ben and Jerry’s Salted Caramel Brownie next time I go to the store! Salted Caramels are my weakness!


In two separate situations the revelations of Wilson and Paige totally shocked me. I didn’t see either of those coming. My mind was blown. 


WOW!! Now that was one jaw dropping shocking climatic ending that came out of nowhere! It was vivid, graphic and detailed and just WOW! What a way to end a story!!
