Is a child capable of murdering her aunt?

According to her family, that is what happened.

She doesn't remember it that way.

Thoughts:

I liked What Can't Be Seen a lot! My regret? That I didn't read book one! This book is 100 percent a great stand-alone, but I think I would've enjoyed it even more with the background from book one.

The general plot is great! Basically, as a child, Gretchen was accused by her family of murdering her aunt. She has no memory of it, but was in the room and holding the bloody knife as her aunt was bleeding in the bed. Now, with help, Gretchen is taking on the most difficult case of her career.

Her own. Can she get to the truth or will the truth destroy her?

ABOUT THE BOOK: A brilliant psychologist faces the secrets and lies of her own dark past in a shocking novel of suspense by the Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestselling author of A Familiar Sight.

“Gretchen…What have you done?”

Psychologist and criminologist Dr. Gretchen White, top consultant for the Boston PD, has solved countless cases—but never her own. Since the age of eight, she has lived her life thinking she killed her aunt. After all, she was found standing over the body, clutching a bloody knife. Most people, including Detective Patrick Shaughnessy, believe the little sociopath got away with murder. Thirty years later, Detective Lauren Marconi wants to prove them wrong.

When plucking at the threads of the past unravels a decades-old case tied to the White family, both Lauren and Gretchen grapple with the question, What if Gretchen really is guilty? As old secrets come to light and Gretchen’s lifelong grip on her darkest impulses threatens to erode, Shaughnessy is there watching, waiting for her to lose control one more time.

Everyone thinks they know what happened that night. But the truth is beyond what anyone imagines—even Gretchen herself.
