Review: Blink of An Eye by Cath Staincliffe

2 stars for Blink of An Eye by Cath Staincliffe.

This is the second book that I have read by Cath Staincliffe. While I love her Letters to My Daughter's Killer, the same cannot be said for this one.

This book starts off well with a family barbecue setting on a sunny Sunday afternoon. But all too soon, the sheer amount of trivial and inconsequential description make me lose interest. I stop reading at a quarter way in and simply flip to the last few chapters to see that my prediction of an ending rings true indeed.

In a heartbeat, life changes.

A sunny, Sunday afternoon, a family barbecue. Driving home, Naomi Baxter’s recklessness causes a fatal accident, leaving nine-year-old Lily Vasey dead, Naomi fighting for her life, her boyfriend bruised and bloody and the lives of three families torn apart.

Naomi’s mother Carmel is forced to break the shocking truth of the child’s death to her. If convicted of causing death by dangerous driving Naomi will face a jail term of up to 14 years.

In the months before the trial, Carmel strives to help a haunted and remorseful Naomi cope with the consequences of her actions.

Blink of an Eye is a novel about the nightmare that could be just around the next bend for any one of us.
