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.
