I enjoyed this thriller. It had plenty of twists in the plot. A solid storyline with strong characters.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Rebecca Tinnelly for the copy of this book. I agreed to give my unbiased opinion voluntarily.

Never go there the title screams at you and I really wanted to, and tried to go there to find out what it was all about, but I just couldn't get into this book. I hate giving up on a book a quarter of the through but I just found it a bit slow and so not for me.

I LOVED this. It was twisty as hell and more addictive than a pot of pringles – I rushed through it, hanging on to every word waiting to see what would happen.

You know I’ve been thinking that if characters read more psychological thrillers they’d have a much easier time of things because when their husband tells them to “Never go there” perhaps they wouldn’t then they wouldn’t end up in so much hot water. But luckily for us readers in this case, Nuala ignores that warning and in her grief at losing James she heads off to meet the family. What follows is an absolutely gripping page turner that disintegrates a marriage, messes with your perception of things and has a cracking finale that is incredibly shouty. By that I mean I shouted at it. No. What? Wait don’t do that…and well, you get the point.

The writing is brilliantly immersive and the characters are all cleverly drawn – I can’t say I particularly liked any of them, although occasionally had a pang of sympathy but this is a story of actions and consequences, in the end I believe they all had some kind of karmic comeuppance. It was a barnstormer of a story with some dark and emotive themes, highly engaging and really a most excellent read.

Highly Recommended – one to watch in 2018

Did not finish, there is only so much misery I can take. This book was full of it, and therefore I couldn't get interested in the secrets or so-called skeletons that were hidden in the past.
