I don't know why I keep picking up domestic thrillers thinking 'this time will be different' and it never is. 5% into this book and I can tell it won't be any different.

Evie Clarke worms her way into the arms of Mark North, a famous photographer. His wife, Mia, had died two years earlier, and he is a bit of a recluse. Evie meets Cleo, Mark's sister, and convinces Cleo that Evie wants to commission some photos from Mark.
Everything is not as it seems. Mark is madly in love with Evie, or is he? Evie seems to be abused by Mark, but is she? Who should you believe? What really happened to Mia? Can Evie be trusted?
This is a story told in 3 parts. The first part is the story of Mark and Evie, the second part is mainly a trial, and the third part is after the verdict.
This is a novel that keeps you guessing until the end. I enjoyed it, but I did have my suspicions, however, I didn't have everything completely solved. I think this was a very complex story with a lot of planning in its storyline!

Whole thing was blah. Nothing shocking and the twist wasn’t a twist really

This is a stand-alone psychological thriller rather than the next in the author's Tom Douglas series. And what a corker. This author sure knows how to write a gripping book.

Absolute psychological thriller perfection. The suspense was killing me until the very last page. I managed to figure out some of the facts, but the story is so cleverly constructed that I was taken by surprise a few times as well.

Highly recommended
