Book Synopsis
Some secrets need to be set free . . .
Twenty years after their last visit, half-sisters Lauren, Kat and Flore are summoned to Rock Point: the beautiful and windswept cliff house where they sat for their father’s most famous painting, Girls and Birdcage.
But what should be a joyous return is darkened by memories of the catastrophic events of a summer twenty years before.
Because when the sisters arrive, it is clear that someone is determined not to let the past lie.
Someone who is watching their every move.
Who remembers the girls in the painting, and what they did . . .
Set on the rugged Cornish coast, The Birdcage is a twisty, spellbinding novel with unforgettable characters who must piece together their family’s darkest secrets.

My review
A story of three very different sisters set on the Cornish coast. They have sibling rivalry, a secret and seem to all adore their father. We follow a timeline of the present day and when something happened in the past.
So atmospheric you actually feel you are there! This was a tense story and kept me enthralled the entire way through. A real page turner of a book, you just have to keep reading to get to that ending!
