Summary

I might be a grandmother. But I’m not some sweet, harmless old lady who people can push around.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince.

They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by.

I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Now he wants his daughters back.

Over my dead body.

I finally have a family of my own. And nobody is going to take it away from me.

An interesting storyline and I was keen to know what happened next but I found 2 things really disappointing: the grandmother character was 65 yet from the description and her attitude and mannerisms appeared to be over 80; the father’s foul language was unnecessary.

A good read

The grandmother was only 65 but behaved like she was in her late 70s or 80s. The clichéd characters were insulting to everyone especially if you believe the police are that dim witted. The language was stilted and unnatural and although the twist was interesting the ending was just silly. But it was good for a freebie.
