Audrey is a junior on a news site and aspires to be a reporter. An Instagram influencer disappears and Audrey manages to interview the worried husband. Her boss is pleased with the story but she will be taken off the case if it becomes a crime. She decides to take off and follow up the story on her own. Pacey and readable the plot is well developed. Its complex and credible and my only criticism is that the basic plot is guessable from very early on and there is nothing in the way of a twist. A good read

I found this a very difficult book at the start. The confusion came mainly with the author adding timings to each chapter that I still do not understand what they related to. There was a surplus of characters at the start but once I came to grips with them I found they all had a personality that added to the story. Once I decided to ignore the times but just read I loved the book. The chapters being headed Forward, Rewind or Pause added to the readability as it explained when each part was taking place. It certainly was a great plot full of unexpected twists and turns with an ending that I did not expect.

3.5 stars
A well thought out thriller. I liked it but didn't love it, mainly because I didn't love any of the characters, maybe because of all the shifts back and forwards in time.
I will still read more from Howard as I've enjoyed her work before and the book was well written.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is a very cleverly written book that might just make you reconsider how much information you share on social media or how you look at your next hotel room!! Initially there seems to be too many characters to keep track of but as the story progresses all becomes clear as the different stories are expertly knitted together to reveal the killer, the motive and the means. The reader is kept on the edge of their seat throughout by the different timelines and character voices.
Well done,.. great thriller!!

What a heart stopping, creepy and twisted tale.
Fantastic plot which keeps your attention throughout. I thought I knew where this story was going, but I really could not of predicted the outcome and the many shocking turns that got me to the end. Kathryn Ryan Howard is an author to watch and after reading this masterpiece I will definitely be reading more of her books. Outstanding.

WOW - a truly original concept - Absolutely loved this - Brilliant !!

This is a modern, timely story - taking in social media

Fantastic opening - grabbed me immediately - couldn't put down

Highly recommended

First Catherine Ryan Howard book I have read, it won't be the last.
Completely gripped from the beginning.

Full of twists, turns, and suspense
You don't know exactly where it's going to go

Brilliant read, highly recommended

Thank you netgalley, Catherine Ryan Howard and Corvus for allowing me to read and review this book.

Rewind sounds like an interesting concept, a crime domestic thriller with chapters named forward, rewind, pause, etc, meaning she plays with time and the narrative moves backwards and forwards through time along with the characters.
The novel is about an instagram star who announces she is having a break from social media and disappears, and she hasn't informed her husband or friends of her plans. A up and coming journalist scents an opportunity and places herself at the centre of the investigation.
With a high octane opening, this thriller looks at the risks of living your life online.

Hmmmm... I had high expectations of this one but unfortunately it just didnt deliver.

It didnt quite hit the thriller or mystery genre in my opinion and it all honesty was predictable and more of a 'who done it' novel.

The jumpy timeline became quite confusing at times, the book isnt written in chapters as such but as Play, Pause, Rewind. The ending left me deflated as it was more a confirmation than a shock ending.

In my honest opinion I'd say it was far fetched, unclear with a disappointing ending.

Thank you to netgalley and Atlantic Books for the ARC.

Andrew is the manager of Shanamore Holiday Cottages, He watches his guest with a hidden camera but he sees her being murdered. but who is the murderer?
Natalie came to the cottages for answers about her husband. Was he having an affair and if so with who had he stayed in the cottages?
The answer will be revealed in a shocking conclusion.

Rewind is a very clever and tense read as it keeps giving little bits of information and clues right until the end. At times unpredictable you need to concentrate to work everything out which I loved. I shall definitely be reading more from Catherine.

Very much enjoyed this book and the title gives you an idea of what makes it different, it hops around in time which I usually don’t like but it works here.

It’s an easy reader which is what I want from my books, nothing too taxing!

Read if you like whodunnits.

A novel concept starting with the murder and working backwards. I did guess the perpetuator half way through but it was a good intricate novel that kept me interested. Thank you NetGalley for letting me download it free.

A good fast-paced thriller with plenty of twists and turns. The main characters are well-drawn and you switch between their differing viewpoints effortlessly. Although the identity of the whodunnit didn't entirely surprise me, the full truth behind it did. This novel also benefits from having storylines behind each of the main characters, and they're gathered together neatly - and convincingly - in the end. I would definitely recommend this book, and read others by this author (who I had not previously heard of but will investigate further now).

This is an easy read which holds the reader's attention because of its style and no nonsense approach. There is no clutter of unnecessary description. It gets down to business from page one. The story jumps about in time which could put some readers off but I found it works as a clever way of updating you on what has happened and might happen. The perpetrator of the murder is not a secret but it is not revealed till the end whether there really is a conspiracy or just a fantasist. There are two male characters who provide distraction and make the ending a process of confirmation rather than surprise.

I've read loads of good reviews about this author so I was excited to receive this advance copy in return for an honest review
Rewind began with a violent murder which takes place in a remote holiday cottage in Ireland . The crime is witnessed by the manager of the cottages -Andrew - who we learn has a few unsavoury secrets in his locker one of which is voyeurism - and has stashed hidden cameras in the guests bedrooms -he gets more than he bargained for when he replays this particular one .
We then hear the story unfold through 2 different timelines - past and present - from the perspective of the victim and events leading up to the murder and the journalist covering the story . There are loads of twists and turns - and maybe just maybe -this is a cautionary tale for all the internet bloggers out there ! Great read !

There are some books that you have to adopt a strict time curfew as you end up reading until the early hours of the morning, this was one of them. The genius of time jumping leaves you literally wanting to know what twist is coming next as there is no ease on the brakes here. Natalie, an Irish Instagram star thinks she is going mad when she keeps seeing the same woman wherever she goes. Paranoid and anxious she starts to notice curious things happening in her own home. This takes her to Shannamore a small coastal town for answers which is full of dark characters and shocking secrets. This trip however seals her fate with jaw dropping consequences. Exploring the dark side of humanity as well as a fluid plot, this book will have you turning the pages quicker than you can read it!

I was a bit unsure about the structure of the book at first (i.e. the way in which the chapters were broken down into rewind, pause, and fast-forward) but then actually started to enjoy the way in which this story was pieced together - it created intrigue in a way that didn’t feel confusing or completely overwhelming. On the whole, I really enjoyed this book. It was an original and gripping thriller for sure.

OMG what a start!! You had me hooked from the first sentence. I switched off my phone, got myself comfortable as I knew I wouldn’t be able to put this book down!!

Loved the way the story goes backwards and forwards with a clever twist that keeps the suspense building. Thought the rewind, play idea was very original and told the story in bite size pieces that made you want to read more!!!

Instagram star Natalie is leaving Dublin and husband Mike to go and stay in Shanamore Cottages, she is there for a reason. Little does she know but Andrew the creepy manager of the cottages is secretly filming her (psycho is probably his favourite film) and captures someone entering the cottage and killing Natalie!!

Loved this sinister and creepy book. It has a fast pace that keeps you hooked. Glad I didn’t read this whilst in the house alone as it sent shivers down my spine!!

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for a review.

I enjoyed this gripping story, although it was fairly easy to work out early on what was going on. It made a change to read a book set in Ireland,. Good characters, and a compelling story make this a good holiday read.
