Five Star Review
A tense thriller that kept me guessing throughout.
From the moment Helen meets Rachel there is an atmosphere of unease. You feel there is something not quite right about the friendship but you can't figure out what. That unease increases as the story unfolds and you feel uncomfortable for Helen. But I also felt very worried for Rachel. What is she after? And is Helen safe? Such a creepy claustrophobic feeling.
Then wham you are hit with some big twists and turns and your head spins. What is the truth here?
And what are the links to the past? Everyone becomes a suspect and the plot becomes tense and exciting. I raced to the end unravel the reveal. And it all came together beautifully.
The writing was so well crafted I felt that I was watching a film rather than reading a book. The settings were described so beautifully and the characters so realistic. A fabulous debut which most surely will be dramatised soon for television.
A complex thrilling ride that makes perfect sense on the last page.
