The Blurb
I know their secrets...
Every morning, I sit at the same table of my favourite café, sip my cappuccino, and watch them.
The woman has no idea I’m watching, day after day, unravelling the secrets of her life. I see the way she smiles when he arrives, how she glances over her shoulder… like someone who is hiding something.
She thinks she’s in control, but has no idea I’m on to them…
I know a lot more about the man. For a start, he’s not who he pretends to be – his lies are as plain as the nose on your face.
There’s more to this story than meets the eye, a lot more than I’ll ever let on. I already know a lot about the man, but have learnt so much more from watching.
Why do I think the man should tell me what’s going on?
Because he’s my husband. That’s why.
An unforgettable tale of deceit, lies and revenge, from the bestselling author of The Girl in Seat 2A.
My Review
This book is a psychological thriller full of tension and suspense.
The main character, Izzy, has had a difficult childhood. When she meets and marries Jed, she finally feels secure. Until she notices him regularly visiting a woman in the street where she sits and drinks her coffee.
Whilst I found Izzy difficult to relate to I was totally gripped by her story. The narrative is written completely from her perspective, so it is the only point of view that we read. I found myself questioning how reliable a narrator she was. However, I am going to let you discover the answer to that question yourself.
It was written in very short and snappy chapters that definitely made for 'just one more chapter' syndrome. You know the kind that makes you stay up a bit past bedtime in order to read just a little more of the book. Consequently, it is a quick and easy read and very enjoyable for it.
The book is full of secrets, lies and deception, accompanied by some fabulous twists and turns. The twist the story takes at the end was unexpected and well written. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.
I enjoyed this very much and recommend it to fans of psychological suspense novels.
