The Evidence Against You By Gillian McAllister

The Evidence Against You‘The Evidence Against You’ is the latest thrilling book by Gillian McAllister.

It’s the day Izzy’s father will be released from jail. She has every reason to feel conflicted – he’s the man who gave her a childhood filled with happy memories. But he has also just served seventeen years for the murder of her mother. Now, Izzy’s father sends her a letter. He wants to talk, to defend himself against each piece of evidence from his trial.But should she give him the benefit of the doubt? Or is her father guilty as charged, and luring her into a trap?

The story is seen from the narrative of Izzy and parents leading up to Izzy’s mother’s death and gives an interesting insight into the relationship between the three of them. It also shows how differently things can be perceived between adults and children and this was an interesting slant to the story.

I really liked Izzy and it was interesting seeing her struggle with morals and emotions as she reconnected with her father and tried to understand their relationship. For years, she was led to believe one thing but suddenly there’s a lot of uncertainty in her life. I found her to be quite a reclusive character and found that most of the people that she relied on in life had taken a step back. Her marriage didn’t seem happy and throughout the story, there was a lonely atmosphere to it.

What made the story so gripping was the unreliable characters that are throughout the story. All the characters are a suspect in the story and it seems that everyone could have a motive behind her mother’s reason.

An impressive and thought provoking story about family and lies, ‘The Evidence Against You’ is a well crafted story with an unexpected ending.

You can buy ‘The Evidence Against You’ from Amazon and is available to buy from good bookshops.
