Loved this book!! Was so addictive, I couldn’t put it down, read it in one sitting. Chilling and twisty, ending was completely unexpected.

Another great thriller by Rachel Abbott. Plenty of twists which we have come to expect from her books. Just as you think you have sorted out what has happened a spanner is thrown into the works and you have to think again. A brilliant psychological thriller which I couldn’t put down. I can’t wait for the next book. I highly recommend all of Rachel’s books.

I am in two minds about this book, I enjoyed it but not hugely so. Others say it's pace is fast but I didn't think so, luckily we are all different.

It is certainly a chilling psychological thriller unlike anything I have read before. It is pretty dark and has so many twists and turns that I can understand why others found it unputdownable but for me I found it less so.

Don't get me wrong though, I didn't dislike it and I can see how much research has gone into the story and I will certainly look out for other work by Rachel Abbott.

Thanks to Netgalley for this opportunity.

Rachel Abbott never disappoints and her latest novel is right up there with her best. An enthralling psychological thriller with a new police protagonist in the form of Sergeant Stephanie King.

Set in Cornwall and opening with the murder of a well know local photographer Mark/Marcus found dead in bed with his partner, Evie. Most of the narrative takes place as she is put on trial for killing him.
This is a seriously addictive read which is full of twists and turns. There are plenty of dark secrets revealed as the novel progresses. It has some emotional themes including revenge, abuse and obsession.

All the characters are well drawn and narrative races along. I'm looking forward to reading more about Stephanie King. Highly recommended.

I received a complimentary copy of this novel from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you.

What a great read! It’s in three parts and it kept me guessing right to the end, and even then there’s a twist, you can’t be sure of what is true and what isn’t. Layers of past and present are built up in such a gripping fashion that the book is hard to put down! I will definitely recommend this one!

Read this in a day a definite can't put it down book. Murder,lies, intrigue this book has it all. The book starts with a murder scene, but then goes back to build up a picture of what happened leading up to that night. Is Evie lying, will she literally get away with murder. So much going on it keeps you guessing right until the end. The back story of the two detectives builds up a picture of them so that we hope we see more of them.
Rachel yet again doesn't disappoint can't wait until her next one she's in my top 5 favourite authors
