Lengvai sunkus psichologinis trileris. Trumpai – knyga man patiko. Autorės rašimo stilius labai paprastai ir lengvai skaitomas. Skyriai nėra irgi, nors pradžioje teko pavargti kol susigaudžiau kas ir kaip vyksta, bet viskas palaipsniui labai gražiai išsiplėtojo. Knyga paliečia svarbią ir šiais laikais temą – įtaigą, baimę, pažeidžiamumą ir savižudybę. Tačiau viskas labai gražiai perpinta pasakojime. Pati knygos istorija taip pat labai įdomi, o pabaiga. Galima buvo to tikėtis, tačiau nustebino. Knyga turi dvi pabaigas. Viena istorijos bendrai ir viena pagrindinės veikėjos, tačiau kap ir paskutiniais sakiniais aišku, bet taip norėjosi dar, tai kasgi vis dėlto vyko toliau ir ar tikrai vyko. Vertas perskaityti Rachell Abbott kūrinys, teks ieškoti ir kitų šios autorės knygų.

This book was very difficult to follow from start to finish. There were way too many people's point of view and it all made it very confusing to follow from the beginning.
It's hard to give a synopsis of the book without giving it away but expect a lot of questions to come up.
I didn't like the story, how it was executed or any of the characters. Each chapter was too short to really get into each characters story, way too choppy and short, jumping to new characters just as you were getting somewhere. I suspect this was to make it suspenseful but it just made it more frustrating.

całkiem spoko, chociaż z wyłączeniem kilku drobnostek już w 1/3 książki wiadomo, o co chodzi.

Gripping definitely describes this novel, not entirely for the plot which was a bit far fetched but for Callie, the girl whose life has been ruined by her controlling boyfriend.

This book would not be the same without the wonderful Tom Douglas.

When the body of a young woman is found in the forest, DCI Tom Douglas is called to the scene. Heavy snowfall means there are few clues left to be found. How did this woman end up in the middle of nowhere? Where did she come from? And most importantly, who is she? Because as long as that remains unknown, the investigation goes pretty much nowhere. On the other side of the world, another woman goes on the holiday of a lifetime, in an attempt to escape an abusive relationship. Meanwhile, Tom's past catches up with him but will this cause problems between him and Louisa?
The DCI Tom Douglas series is one of my favourites and if you're not reading these, you're missing out on some seriously good books. I've come to rely on Rachel Abbott to deliver highly original premises and Come A Little Closer is no different. The description promises something intriguing and I wasn't at all disappointed.. This is one well-thought out plot and it's also intensely creepy.
Although the who seemed fairly obvious to me, I had a hard time figuring out the why. This story tackles a topic which is sadly highly realistic and believable. Those moments where the vulnerable suddenly turn into preys, find themselves cut off from the world with their thoughts so incredibly manipulated that they feel there is no escape. It's very reminiscent of grooming and trafficking.
I couldn't predict the outcome at all and the parts of the story completely threw me, which I love. This is one dark, disturbing and harrowing tale. Full of tension and suspense, it had me hooked from start to finish and seeing all the threads come together was a true delight. Come A Little Closer is another brilliant addition to this series, which keeps going from strength to strength.
Tom and Becky make such a fabulous team. It seems it has been ages since we last hung out with them and it's such a thrill to see them return. I've missed them fiercely and I can't wait to spend more time with them in future. I have no doubt it'll be worth the wait.
