In Her Eyes by Sarah Alderson
4.0
This book is out on January 9th 2020
4.5 stars
This was my first novel from Alderson and I'm shocked that I haven't read any of her previous books before. If all her books are as good as this one, then I am joining the Alderson fan club!
This story is about a family who is one second living in the comforts of their own home and the next they know there are intruders in their home and they are being held at gunpoint. But this attack is not random, it seems planned. They're looking for something specific, but what? Doesn't that sound like an interesting premise?
The story was told in the point of view of Ava, the mother, which was one of my favorite things about this novel. Alderson delves us into the mind of a mother's worst nightmare, one who is determined to find out who is trying to harm her family. The lengths she goes through!! Is someone in her family connected to this attack? Is someone keeping secrets from Ava? Maybe, maybe not, but what I can say is that Ava is not innocent herself. She is also keeping secrets.
Of course, she has to have secrets.
What is a thriller novel without secrets? Nothing! This is a must read thriller novel for all the fans of The Silent Patient and The Wife Between us, you will love this one! Secret after secret is revealed and I will give you a tip right now: Going into this book as blindly as possible will make it much enjoyable.
The plot is very complex and I guessed some of it. It's funny because I really thought that I guessed all of it but in reality I only knew about 20% of what was going in the novel. I can assure you that this novel will not only keep you guessing, but it will also keep you up at night flipping through the pages until you're at the last page still reeling from the final plot twist and it's 3 a.m.
I highly recommend reading this book and I anticipate that it will be a knockout once it hits the bookstores!
Thank you Mulholland Books for providing me with an advanced copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.
