I thoroughly loved this latest thriller by Cally Taylor. It
had me so engrossed from the beginning as it has a fast paced storyline which
is packed with tension and menace.
The central character is Jo Blackmore, mother to 2 year old
Elise and wife to crime journalist Max. Jo suffers from agoraphobia and anxiety
which began when she miscarried at 4 months with Henry. This sad event has made
her over protective of Elise and unknowingly she is pushing her husband away.
At first I wasn’t sure if Jo was suffering from mental health issues or just
plain crazy but as the story unfolds my heart ached for Jo and I began to
sympathise with her.
There are some
nasty characters’ in this novel; Paula who I am positive is crazy, as well as
being a manipulative,deceitful and plain evil individual. Max is also not the
normal ideal husband that we are led to believe at the start and it is his
shady past that puts both Jo and Elise in danger.
Jo’s Mum Brigid is a quiet
woman who devotes her time to looking after her ill husband but she holds a
family secret that plays a part in this drama and unites old friends in Ireland
as the story reaches its crescendo.
Thank you Julie for a great review. I too, have read this book and agree that it is a thriller that will keep you gripped and guessing as to who is trustworthy and who isn't. What I love about Cally Taylor's books, is that she involves all the characters to the point where I just don't know who the good guys are!!
Well done Cally for yet another gripping psychological thriller. I have read all of her books now and they just seem to get better and better!
