Found Her by Niki Mackay, N.J. Mackay
5.0
This is my first novel by NJ Mackay and after reading Found Her it won’t be my last!
Goodness me where do I start? Found Her had me utterly gripped from the very first chapter. I have to say it’s one of the best psychological thrillers I’ve read for a while, perfectly paced and tension packed.
Eve is a complicated character, not all that likeable but very compelling to read. She’s been punishing herself for ten years after the disappearance of her little sister Belle, unable to sustain relationships apart from those stubborn enough to ignore her prickly exterior. She’s been on an even keel but that all goes out the window when her little sister is found alive but in critical condition. That’s when the story really comes into its own, as Eve’s paranoia gets worse until she’s almost at breaking point and all of her old unhealthy behaviours surface again.
I would have liked the ending to have been a little stronger but of course that’s just a minor thing.
Found Her is a genuine page turner and a must for anyone who loves a good thriller.
