Such a great twisty psych thriller. I've heard great things about Vaseem Khan's historical fiction but this is the first book of his I have read. Highly recommend this one!
I didn't know what to expect with this one, having read Vaseem Khan's previous two series. But I loved it. I was hooked from the first page and read it all in one sitting. This book is going to be huge. The writing is super, the tension is gripping and the book is unutdownable
Absolutely loved this. Kept me guessing till the end and kept me up at night reading late. Id like to see more of this type of book from rhis author.
I love Vaseem Khan's Malabar House series set in India. The Girl in Cell A is a new departure for the author so I wasn't sure what to expect. The book surpassed all my expectations. Vaseem Khan is a versatile and accomplished writer who is not afraid to take on a new challenge.
The book is set in Eden Falls, a small American town. Orianna is in prison, convicted of the murder of Gideon Wyclerc, a member of the town's ruling Wyclerc dynasty. Grace Wyclerc is also missing. Orianna claims that she has lost her memory so psychologist Annie Ledet is called in to uncover the truth.
The book is very well-written, capturing the atmosphere of a small American community. It is a powerful family drama involving scandals, sex, power and prejudices. The twist at the end overthrows everything you have been led to believe.
This is an intelligent psychological thriller. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an arc. All opinions are my own.
You may be convinced that you're incapable of murder, but it is hard to make your case convincingly when there are holes in your memory that make refuting such accusations well nigh impossible.
So after Gideon Wyclerc is killed and his daughter Grace disappears the same day, Orianna is hard put to explain that if, as she maintains, she didn't kill Gideon, then who was responsible for what happened to him?
Forensic psychologist Annie Ledet is trying to coax answers out of the stubborn gaps in Orianna's memory, but neither she nor her patient are prepared for what might actually emerge from that yawning crevasse...
Khan has written a compelling and intelligent thriller with plenty of twists and turns. The reader's attention is held very effectively until the full story emerges. This gets 3.5 stars.
A beautifully written and clever psychological thriller that I devoured in short order.
There's a really addictive quality to the storytelling here and the characters are intriguing, its a mystery and a drama with many layers. You just don't want to put it down and in true psychological thriller style you don't know what's what until you know what's what..
Twisty, atmospheric and chock full of intrigue, this reader hopes Vaseem Khan writes more novels in this genre.
I guess when you've got it you've got it. No need to stay in one lane. Very much recommended.
