The Catch

Being a huge fan of T.M.Logan and having read all his previous novels I was delighted to receive the ARC of “The Catch’ in return for my honest review. Once again, I found this brilliant and devoured it in just over 24 hours. This may well be the best so far.

Ed and Claire have a dinner inviting their daughter, Abbie, and her new boyfriend, Ryan, as they haven’t met him. The couple announce their intention to get married in a few week’s time. The shock is clear but Ryan seems to be the perfect partner although Ed feels a certain disquiet about him.

Claire and her mother, Joyce, believe that Ryan is brilliant and offers everything Abbie could want in a husband. Ed does not agree and decides to look into Ryan’s background, qualifications and stories by following him, seeking the help of an investigative agency and tracking him with a GPS on his car. At times my heart was in my mouth about what he was doing and what was happening.

Both Abbie and Claire think Ed is losing the plot and try to get him to see reason. He will not listen and his determination to uncover something bad about Ryan leads him into all sorts of trouble. The twists and turns just keep coming and no punches are pulled.

I’m saying nothing else about the plot except the timings and ending are superb. I loved all of the characters especially Ed, as I could imagine many fathers not trusting their daughter’s boyfriends but whether they would ever go to this length is questionable.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Bonnier Books and T. M. Logan for this ARC.

Highly recommended and, in my view, another must read by this author.

As a massive fan of T.M Logan I was thrilled to receive an advanced copy of him new novel The Catch.

I can tell you I was not disappointed.

Tense to the extreme I found myself thinking about it throughout the day until I was able to read on.

The story centres around Ed the somewhat overbearing and overprotective father of Abbie who has just been introduced to his daughters new boyfriend Ryan. Ed has a bad feeling from the start which turns even worse when their impending marriage is revealed.

Ed is convinced charming, handsome, goody-too-shoes Ryan is too good to be true and it’s a race against time for him to prove it before the wedding.

As Ed’s suspicions grow he becomes erratic, unreliable, building a web of lies as complicated as those he is accusing his daughters new fiancé of.

We as readers are left somewhere in the middle, sympathising with a loving father and yet worried that he might be the one to push everyone over the edge.

As the story progressed I found myself literally holding my breath, losing myself completely in the plot as it well and truly unravelled to a shocking conclusion

A fantastic story, readers won’t be able to stop thinking about it!

I was eager to read this book after reading the author’s last book which I rated 5 stars.This book did not disappoint!
Throughout the book I was left wondering where the story was heading. It is juicy with lots of twists and turns. I felt part of the ending was slightly rushed but maybe I just wanted more!
Mr Logan is a fantastic storyteller and I can’t wait to read his next book!

Yes, that is correct - this brilliant author has another great novel out this summer.

The title is the best play on words ever - is he a catch? - or what is the catch? This is the root of the book and flows between the two themes throughout allowing you to decide for yourselves. And then a bombshell of an ending!

I loved The Holiday - and I fully enjoyed reading this new release. It is a truly dark telling of a parents (and anyones!) worst nightmare. This author is ruthless and the characters fates are not conventional and do shock! You never know where the next twist is gonna come from...

Ideal for those looking for a psychological thriller to get lost in this summer!

I absolutely adore TM Logan books, they pull me in from the beginning and make it utterly impossible to put down until the very end.
This like other books I've read by this author, has been one which has kept me guessing throughout and I have been completely unable to put this one down or predict what was going to happen next.
This is an author who has the ability to create a nail biting story which really keeps the reader gripped.
I have absolutely no doubt that this will be a hugely successful book. I have really thought about all details that have been given and tried to predict where this book was going which has been unsuccessful. I highly recommend this fantastic book.
