Cage of Stars explores one family's irrevocable change in an instant of violence . . . Jacquelyn Mitchard just keeps getting better and better

Jodi Picoult

A thrill-ride of a novel - psychologically gripping, wonderfully paced; a marvellously rendered portrait of the way violence colours our lives. This is the break-out read of the year

Karin Slaughter

Cage of Stars is vintage Mitchard

Booklist

A beautiful late autumn day, an innocent game of hide-and-seek . . . but when twelve-year-old Ronnie Swan emerges from her hiding-place, she finds the brutally murdered bodies of her two little sisters. Nearby, a complete stranger covered in blood, sits sobbing on the family picnic table. The killer, Scott Early, is schizophrenic. And although her parents somehow find the strength to forgive him, Ronnie cannot. Over the years, calmly, systematically, she plans her revenge. But as she closes in on Early, Ronnie will discover the true meaning of sin and compassion - and her decision will change her and her family's lives for ever.
