MY REVIEW:
I received an advance copy of Redemption Road by Lisa
Ballantyne from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is said
review. This book is published by Piatkus.
Having never read anything by Lisa Ballantyne before, I
was drawn to this book on NetGalley by the blurb and the fact Lisa’s first
book, The Guilty One received such rave reviews. I expected good things. I got
good things but not the “wow” things I was looking for.
In 2013 Margaret Holloway is involved in a motorway pile
up. She is trapped in her car and only survives after being rescued by a
hideously scarred man she doesn’t know.
In 1985 George McLaughlin has come into some money. He
stole it. His family is known for being gangsters but George is the black
sheep. He appears to be the good one. He has only ever loved Kathleen. She left
seven years ago with their daughter to start a new life away from George. He
has decided he wants her back, and he wants his daughter back. In a turn of
events that no one could have seen coming, George ends up on the run with his
daughter but without Kathleen.
How do things turn out for George? Who is the mysterious
character who has rescued Margaret? Is there a connection?
