All For You by Louise Jensen

Louise Jensen is one of my very favourite authors. I adore her psychological thrillers because you're always guaranteed to be hit by a big twist you didn't see coming. The kind of jaw dropping surprise that makes an already great story, unforgettable. Jensen really knows how to get under the skin of her characters making them totally believable and fully formed, ensuring each and every time you pick up a book by this author, you'll have the best kind of reading experience.
The Walsh family are doing their best but the cracks are beginning to show. Mum, Lucy, is at her wits end having given up a successful career to look after poorly son, Kieron. Older son, Connor, is trying to get on with his life despite being gradually eaten away by guilt. Dad, Aiden, has his own secrets which his family must never discover or the repercussions could be devastating. But there's no hiding from the truth. All secrets end up being revealed in the end. And for the Walsh family, it could tear them apart...
Absolutely bloody marvellous! The author has done it again and written a completely gripping, thoroughly engaging family based thriller with one heck of a killer twist. Jensen is such a clever writer, not giving the slightest hint as to where she's going to take the story and then BAM! The reader is knocked for six and I loved it. I mentioned above that Jensen's thrillers are memorable and I doubt I'll forget this one in a hurry.
The characters, as I have come to expect from a Louise Jensen novel, stand tall from the page. I found Lucy difficult to like to start with. She's very preoccupied (as I expect you would be with a critically ill child) with Kieron's health and well-being. She's pushy and a little overbearing at times. Often neglecting seventeen year old Connor who, following a recent traumatic event in his own life, still needs his mum. I should add that I warmed to Connor upon meeting him so that most likely influenced my feelings towards Lucy too. Husband Aiden has his own problems and I thoroughly enjoyed the way his story is written, with unexpected twists and turns. How can one family hold so many devastating secrets?
Would I recommend this book? I would, yes. You can't go wrong with a Louise Jensen thriller and All For You is no different. A fantastically paced, tense and twisty tale which had me gripped from page one to the final word. The characters and dialogue are superbly written, the plot was completely addictive -- I had to find out where the author was going to take the story, and the twists left me giddy with joy! I certainly will not be able to get over that big ol' juicy twist for a while. Wow! Louise Jensen continues to be one of my very favourite authors. She can do no wrong, a master storyteller. Highly recommended.
