The Murder of Graham Catton by Katie Lowe
5.0
Wow! This was chilling and had me reading with my breath held towards the end.
Electrifying in intensity and tension , this is a psychological thriller which messes with your mind as well as the main character's Hannah. I find the thrillers which make characters question their sanity terrifically terrifying. Losing one's mind, uncertain what has happened, doubt and guilt and fear encroaching upon your judgement, causing you to question even the most basic of facts, are the ones that read like a real life nightmare and scare me way more than blood and guts horror.
Hannah's husband Graham was murdered in his bed a decade ago and Hannah has never been able to remember what happened. Someone else was convicted but he is the subject of a true crime podcast Conviction, presented by Anna Byers, who intends to show the faults behind the arrest, trial and incarceration. Listeners are behind this very public campaign and are quick to point the finger back to Hannah.
Everything in her new life with Dan, is threatened, including the safety of her teenage daughter Evie. Complicating matters is Hannah's career in psychiatry and her past and current care of troubled, unwell young people. History and the here and now collide in a frightening way to hurt Hannah and convince her she is to blame.
This is a twisty, pacy read full of coercion, control, manipulation and abuse on a major scale. The trouble is, who is controlling who and who is the source of danger?
Superb read with genuine, and alarming, surprises which kept me enthralled. A highly recommended read.
