Laura thinks she knows her mum, especially as it's been just the two of them since Dad left. But then Mum brings home a boyfriend and, even worse, starts acting very strangely - she's obviously keeping something from Laura. But what? As Laura digs deeper, she begins to suspect the secret might be even more terrible than she first thought . . .
I think this book was quite good but it wasn't really for my age, i found it quite childish. It was about a girl who is trying to find out why her mum doesn't want her to go to guides. I think it took quite a while to get to the point but i would recommend it to people aged 10-12.
This book was quite a mystery from the start, I kept thinking that Laura's mom DID kill her own sister because she gets jealous of her, but actually she didn't. There are some cliffhangers of the book, but overall, I like this book :)
