That Night

byGillian McAllister, Amrita Acharia (Read by)
Frannie, Cathy and Joe have always been close, bound not just as family, but by a tragic past until that night their loyalties are tested.
Frannie has killed a man. Hit him with her car. She can't go to jail, she has a baby and this wasn't her fault, not really.
Cathy and Joe agree to help: burying the body, lying to the police. But tangled in lies that grow knottier, the family struggles to accept what they've done.
Who will crack first?
Whose conscience will not be silenced?
Or will these siblings prove that blood is thicker than murder?

Beautifully written and incredibly gripping, THAT NIGHT asks us a terrifying question: would you bury a body to protect your family? There is a breathless, almost claustrophobic tension to the story - it gave me genuine shivers. Gillian writes human emotion with immense skill, and the dynamic between the three siblings in this book is just masterfully done. I can't wait to see what Gillian writes next
