My Review

This is a book that this blog was created for the perfect Psychological thriller!

in it we meet Beth who had not seen her best friend Kathleen for sometime when they finally meet at Kathleen’s new home for a house party.

The guests are their very close friends and everything seems perfect the new home set on the Isle of Wight is beautiful and friends are back together enjoying the evening.

But Beth can tell something is wrong when she has a moment to pull Kathleen aside she does wanting to help her best friend and Kathleen confides to her that she has a secret and she is frightened particular of one of the friends who is there that night, but now is not the time to get into it she refuses to elaborate on what is wrong or even who is the person she is frightened of instead Kathleen promises to tell Beth everything tomorrow after the party when they are alone.

Yet the next morning Kathleen is found dead at the bottom of the cliff, fallen from the garden edge while looking for her pet?, a tragic accident? but is is?

Beth is distraught but knows in her heart there is more to Kathleen's death than is been said, things are not adding up and she knows she owes it to her best friend to find out the truth.

This was a complex and thrilling plot, every character seemed to have there own secrets and i loved the elements of the read where I just did not know who to trust.

I was gripped from the very start not only by the pace of the read but by the lies and the twists and turns that this story is just bursting at the seams with, The perfect Psychological thriller with and ending that packs a punch!
