Book Review:
''Lesley Pearse has a gift for creating stories with 'characters it is impossible not to care about,' as the Daily Mail puts it, and 'Faith' is a perfect example. This is an emotional rollercoaster of a book that will break your heart and then put it back together again.
The story is told in two timelines, and Pearse handles both masterfully. The present-day sections in Cornton Vale prison are bleak and tense, making you feel Laura's despair and her desperate fight for justice. The flashbacks to her youth are sun-drenched and full of hope, making the eventual tragedy all the more devastating. The friendship between Laura and Jackie is beautifully drawn, and the mystery of what really happened is compelling.
This is more than just a crime novel; it's a deep exploration of friendship, betrayal, and the enduring power of love and faith. If you're looking for a story that will grip you emotionally and keep you turning the pages, 'Faith' is highly recommended.''
