Your Closest Friend by Karen Perry
4.0
When Cara is rescued from a terrorist attack in London by a stranger called Amy, she reveals secrets that even her husband is unaware of. Once the danger passes and life begins to return to normal, Cara can't remember exactly what she's told Amy but she doesn't give it too much heed because they've gone their separate ways.
With her marriage now running into difficulties, Cara becomes the target of anonymous threats by someone called 'Your Closest Friend'. She's relieved when Amy reappears with an offer to help look after her young daughter. Feeling a shared affinity, Cara accepts and Amy moves into the house.
But has Cara just made a massive mistake by accepting Amy into her life and home?...
I really enjoyed this psychological thriller and it held my undivided attention throughout. It's tension-filled and moves along at a good pace. However, I felt slightly disappointed that certain details could have remained hidden for longer - I thought too much was revealed too early on in the book.
Yes, the plot is good and character development is handled extremely well, but I was able to anticipate the direction it was taking. That being said, I wasn't disappointed. There were plenty of unexpected twists and turns and these balanced the book nicely.
Would I recommend it to my friends? Of course I would! It's a great read and will appeal to lovers of this genre.
* My thanks to Karen Perry and Penguin UK - Michael Joseph for inviting me to read this book.
