With Malice

by Eileen Cook

Wish you weren't here . . .

When Jill wakes up in a hospital bed with her leg in a cast, the last six weeks of her life are a complete blank. All she has been told is that she was involved in a fatal accident while on a school trip in Italy and had to be jetted home to receive intensive care. Care that involves a lawyer. And a press team. Because maybe the accident . . . wasn't just an accident.

With no memory of what happened or what she did, can Jill prove her innocence? And can she really be sure that she isn't the one to blame?

A gripping and tumultuous read, I found myself dragged along and caught up in the world of Jill. Accused of the murder of her best friend in an incident she can't remember, Jill has to fight to discover what is real and what is falsehood. Vilified by the media with an overbearing father making decisions for her, she relies on this around her to make sense of what is going on.
I really liked Jill and enjoyed getting to know her as she rediscovered herself. Anna and Dr Weeks were two other great characters but I find myself irritated by her father and his attitude throughout the book.
