A ridiculously far fetched "twist" that was so unbelievable I had to waste precious moments of my life to finish this if only to see how much sillier it could get
Duplicity by Sibel Hodge is an intriguing psychological suspense thriller. This is my first book by Sibel Hodge and I cannot wait to read more books by her as this was a great twisty read .
Alissa and Max Burbeck have a perfect fairytale marriage. The newlyweds are madly in love with each other and after their honeymoon hold a reception for a few of their friends. But Alissa’s happiness does not last too long as soon after Max is killed in his home office and Alissa barely escapes the intruder with an inch of her life. In comes DS Carter who is suffering through depression after a tragedy and has been passed over a promotion .He does not believe the case is as simple as it seems and suspects there is more to Alissa than meets the eye.
It’s very difficult to say much about the book without giving away some of the suspense so I will say as little as possible. There aren’t any lack of suspects in this book and the author keeps you on your toes trying to guess who killer is . The characters are very well developed and the ending was a complete surprise . Overall a great entertaining read with a 5 star rating.
Many thanks to the publisher & NetGalley for this advance reader copy in exchange for my honest and fair review.

This was good!!!
I definitely didn’t expect the end but also that was definitely the point. The author didn’t want you to know.
I love a good mystery/thriller I just love when someone gets away with something. I felt like the end was a twist yes but it wasn’t as satisfying as it could have been been. Overall it was good!

This book started off grabbing my attention, and I loved the narrators, but by 70% I found the plot too unbelievable, almost as if the author was rushed to finish... it became superficial, not flushed out, too unrealistic and drab. Pity.
I loved this book. I love a good mystery with lots of twists and turns. I really enjoyed the character development and the plots. Definitely one of my favorites.

It was a good read, with a few twist that made things interesting.
4 - quick read that kept me on my toes. The second surprise ending felt a little ridiculous but also surprised me

Newleyweds Max and Alissa live a happy life together, until one night Max is murdered and Alissa narrowly escapes. Duplicity switches point of views between "The Other One" and "The Detective" as the search for Max's killer begins. It's not uncovered until later in the story how the two relate to each other. There are a number of characters who have motive to kill Max, and it's up to Detective Inspector Warren Carter to figure out who killed him and why.
Duplicity was my first book by Sibel Hodge, and I loved it! The pace was really quick, and I found myself engrossed in the story from the first chapter. I love when a book jumps right into the action! What I loved about this book was that there were so many twists! Just when you think you've got it all figured out, something else happens that throws you for a loop, until you've finished the book and you're staring at it wondering how that all happened!
I have to say, I loved the characters. DI Carter was one of my favorites. After getting in trouble with his boss for pursuing the truth on a former case even though it would incriminate a popular member of their city, he's at his wits end in his job. Then he gets tasked to Max's case and everything seems to wrap up too cleanly for him. Despite direct orders from his supervisor, he decides to continue to secretly work the case. Each character seemed to have their own voice and was well developed.
I can't say too much more without ruining it for you, but if you're looking for a quick and smart psychological thriller, this is for you! Sibel Hodge's writing was straightforward and to the point, and she didn't a single word with her writing. This definitely won't be my last book by Hodge!
