Jayatissa, Amanda,

My sweet girl / Amanda Jayatissa. - London, England : Hodder & Stoughton, 2021. - 375 pages ; 24 cm

Ever since she was adopted from an orphanage in Sri Lanka, Paloma has led a privileged Californian life: the best schools, a generous allowance and parents so perfect that Paloma fears she'll never live up to them. Now at thirty, Paloma has managed to disappoint her parents so thoroughly that their relationship will never recover. Unemployed and friendless, the only person still talking to her is Arun - the man subletting her spare room. That is until Arun discovers Paloma's darkest secret, and the next day is found face down in a pool of blood. Paloma is terrified that this is connected to what happened in that orphanage all those years ago. More importantly, she needs to know if her secret died with Arun, or if she is now in greater danger than ever before.
