A review by herheadinherbook
The Murder of Graham Catton by Katie Lowe

4.0

A decade ago, Hannah Catton woke up to the sound of her husband’s blood dripping on the floor. She has a bump on her head and doesn’t remember what happened last night but she does know one thing - she isn’t sorry he is dead. Police convict someone of Graham Catton’s murder and Hannah tries to move on with her life.

Ten years later, she is settled with her daughter and partner. But not for long because “Conviction” - a podcast infamous for overturning past murder charges - is featuring Graham’s murder and Hannah’s past is about to come back to haunt her.

I really enjoyed this book. The author’s writing style means you immediately engage with the plot and you feel every part of Hannah’s tension and despair as she tries to keep her life together.
I also enjoyed the structure of the story with the past and present timelines, each enhancing and illuminating the storyline.
I guessed quite a bit of what was going on but that didn’t spoilt my enjoyment of the book at all, in fact it make me enjoy the book more and I couldn’t read quick enough to get to the conclusion to see if I was correct.

I would recommend it to fans of psychological thrillers and suspense. It’s a gripping, creepy and chilling read that you will struggle to put down.

Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to review an advanced copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
