Book Information
Even the darkest secrets can’t stay hidden forever…
When twenty-nine-year-old Cynthia Galbraith struggles to come to terms with her traumatic past and the realities of prison life, a prison counsellor persuades her to write a diary exploring the events that led to a life sentence for murder.
Although unconvinced at first, Cynthia finally decides she has all the time in the world and very little, if anything, to lose. As she begins writing she holds back nothing: sharing the thoughts she hadn't dare vocalise, the things that keep her awake at night and haunt her waking hours.

My Review
5☆ Another Fab book by John Nicholls
When Evil Calls Your Name is the Sequel to White is the Coldest Colour.
This time we are exploring Cynthia's journal and life and her lead up to prison and her story whilst in prison. We also get a very detailed look into her life growing up to adulthood.
It's a raw and emotional account of how she sees herself, her emotional scars, how even though her abusive sick husband is no longer alive he is still in her head abusing her after years of torment and abuse.
Will she ever be free!!!
Cynthia is serving 13years in jail.
She is now 29years old and has already served 3years.
Cynthia is attending sessions with the prison counsellor who has set her a task. To keep a journal.
She is to Write down her inner most secret thoughts and the things she has been too scared to vocalise.
Her Counsellor Mrs Mary Martin insists that in doing so this will help her become free and will help her come to terms with her past.
She hopes that by Cynthia noting her inner thoughts it might help ease her nightmares, her invasive thoughts and flashbacks.
As we plow through Cynthia's story it did feel like it became disjointed and sketchy at times.
But I do believe that this made it feel real. After all we are literally hearing the story in first person.
Memories do sometimes become disjointed especially if you are writing from free hand. So I did appreciate John's authentic style.
As the story progressed we see how Cythina is drawn into an abusive relationship and how deeper and deeper his control over her becomes dangerous. Drugging and raping her, stopping her seeing her parents. The split personality that lulls her into a false sense of security.
The story really gets gritty about 40% in.
I think it's here I was hooked. It's often a dark account but well written.
A story that has to be told!
This isn't a standalone story but it does clear up alot of unanswered questions about how a wife can literally be so clueless of her husband's sadistic desires. Or is she clueless... all will be revealed!!
John has written another fabulous book. He has become one of my favourite Authors. This book is very different to the other books but it's equally as harrowing.
Stick with it it does get better!
