A stunning new voice in thriller writing; a debut novel to take your breath away
What if your whole life was based on lies? A gripping new psychological thriller of secrets and revenge. When Joe Lynch sees his wife enter an underground car park in the middle of the day, he's intrigued enough to follow her down. And when he sees her in an angry altercation with family friend Ben, he naturally goes to her defenced - and doesn't for a minute believe the accusations Ben makes against her. It's pure misfortune that, just as the clash becomes violent and Ben is knocked unconscious, Joe's son has an asthma attack, and Joe has to take him to safety. It's just that, when Joe comes back to check Ben's OK, he's has disappeared. And that's when Joe receives the first message . . .
mystery and tension to the last page...I loved the ending and couldn't have predicted it. Deception being a main theme, I kept trying to guess the truth but couldn't do it until the reveal. The story being told from Joe's perspective made me feel like I was going through the nightmare with him. I made discoveries at the same time that he did and we were both shocked by the twist at the end.
