A very dark psychological suspense that will definitely have up up all night turning pages.

Monica is in so much pain that even the painkillers doesn’t work most days.
We get to sit and walk through Monica’s daily life with her heartache pain and confusion with the added things that happen where she has no recollection.

It’s a slow progressive story but sure to be enjoyed by many readers who love a good twist in its tail.
Like I did.

Painkiller by N J Fountain is a general fiction (adult) read.
I cannot go on like this. I feel such a burden to you. You are young and can start again. You deserve that chance. By the time you read this I will be dead. Do not grieve for me, for I am now without pain.

Yours truly for ever,
Monica

Monica suffers from chronic neuropathic pain. Every second of her life is spent in agony, and she is coping with it the best she can. However, there are whole years of her life which are a blur to her.

But when she finds a suicide note, written in her handwriting, she begins to question everything. She has no memory of writing it - so who did? And if someone tried to kill her once, what's to say they won't try again . . .
This was a really good read with good characters. Very moving and emotional read. I really felt for Monica and her husband Dominic. I definitely didn't see that coming. Full of twists. Highly recommended. 5*. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book from netgalley.

A psychological thriller in a similar vein to Before I Go To Sleep - edgy, atmospheric and keeps you on your toes throughout.

A good story with some excellent twists and suspense but I felt the detail of the pain was too overpowering

Nice read and easy to follow story line. Look forward to reading more from this author
