Try Not to Breathe by Holly Seddon

With great pacing and two fascinating plots, Try Not To Breathe is a stand out thriller that grabs you immediately and never lets the tension fall. Alex is an alcoholic who has watched her marriage, pregnancy and career slide away from the bottom of her wine glass. She is not really a functional alcoholic, that's too generous a term for her. Amy has her own secrets that she's kept for 15 years, that left her badly beaten and nearly dead. As Alex tries to climb out of her addiction, she is drawn to Amy's unsolved crime. The reader at times will wonder who is less reliable: the struggling alcoholic reporter, the grieving friends or the very silent victim. For lovers of thrillers, this one is sure to please on many levels. -Suzanne R.
