Blurb
When single mum Joanna hears a rumour at the school gates, she never intends to pass it on. But one casual comment leads to another and now there's no going back . . .
Rumour has it that a notorious child killer is living under a new identity, in their sleepy little town of Flinstead-on-Sea.
Sally McGowan was just ten years old when she stabbed little Robbie Harris to death forty-eight years ago – no photos of her exist since her release as a young woman.
So who is the supposedly reformed killer who now lives among them? How dangerous can one rumour become? And how far will Joanna go to protect her loved ones from harm, when she realizes what it is she's unleashed?
My Opinion
This was picked as the book club book for July, and whilst it is not a book I would normally pick to read I found it quite enjoyable. Lesley Kara has written The Rumour is such a way that you will struggle to trust any of the characters. Whilst the plot starts out slow, the speed soon picks up with twists and turns to keep the reader guessing.
Overall this was a well-written thriller. Easy to read in a few sittings.
Rating 4/5
