When She Was Good

The sequel to Good Girl Bad Girl, When She Was Good by Michael Robotham sheds more light on the previous life of Evie Cormac revealing why she is the way she is and why those who try to help her are in danger. 

Evie is back in Langdon Hall, the secure children's home where she will supposedly be kept safe. However it is soon obvious that those who want her dead in order to protect information about their crimes have discovered her location. 

In this gripping story we learn more about Evie's background explaining the trauma she has been through and to some extent why she behaves as she does. Cyrus Haven manages to trace Sacha Hopewell, who had found Evie in a deserted house seven years earlier. Reluctantly Sacha shares the information that she knows about Evie and they decide to work together to try to locate the people who had physically and mentally harmed Evie and other young children. It soon becomes clear that the members of a paedophile ring are being protected by people in power and that anyone who becomes close to discovering the truth will be murdered.

I enjoyed reading Good Girl Bad Girl but thought that When She Was Good was even better.
