Trust No-one by Clare Donoghue

This is a psychological thriller featuring characters from previous Donoghue books.

Richard and his ex-wife divorced amicably. Their two children seem to be coping flitting between the two households, well, as well as can be expected. The children stay over for dinner one night, and the next morning Richard's body is found in his bed; his death seemingly peaceful. DS Jane Bennett and DI Mike Lockyer are called in to see whether or not suspicious circumstances are attached to the death. As they delve deeper into family and friends, hidden secrets are uncovered and illusions of normality shattered.

I really enjoyed this book. Definite twists and turns all the way through as you guess the killer's identity, only to change your mind. The weaving in of chapters every now and then from the killer's perspective creates an interesting angle. The characters are well thought out; and not too many to complicate the story either. The author managed to portray many quirks of their personalities which are so true to real life. A great flowing writing style which is comfortable to read and a pace suited to the content of the story. A great psychological thriller.


Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to review the book.
