The more psychological thrillers I read, the more convinced I am that the line between fair play and far-fetched twists is a very important one. It has since won a Nielsen Bestseller Award and been made into a four-part TV drama starring Jill Halfpenny (currently available on Netflix UK). This book kept me on the edge of my seat and had me quickly turning those pages, I just had to know what in the world was going on! And he’s not moving… Gripping, unputdownable and packed with twists and turns from the first page to the very last, this stunning psychological thriller will make you question whether we can ever really trust the ones we love. At this point, Joe kinda comes to his senses and does what he should have done before — takes his son and tries to get the hell out of there.

I’m so honored to be able to reveal the cover for Vanessa Lillie’s buzz-worthy new mystery here on CBTB today! While the premise of the book was interesting, it is also one that has been done many times over so I was looking for it to stand out in some way. Sure he was a little too trusting and naïve but pray tell, who among us has not been that, at some point or another. Has Joe just caught his wife in an affair with Ben, one of the wealthiest, successful business men he knows?

However the story slowed considerably and started to drag quite a bit in the middle, to the point that by the time I got to the “twist” at the end, it felt anti-climactic (though it probably didn’t help that I already figured out most of the ending already by then so the surprise element wasn’t there).

They just become a nails-on-a-chalkboard figure that can really damage my feelings about a particular book. British journalist Logan's first foray into crime fiction is an adrenaline-fueled page-turner that explores the fragility of domestic bliss. Those guys who, on the exterior, are wholly unaffectionate but, on the inside, are a bubbling spring of complex emotions.To make matters worse for poor old Joe, he quickly finds that not only has he not seen Ben since their encounter in the parking garage, neither has anyone else. I enjoyed the adorable child in this book who had a ‘part’ in LIFE WAS NEVER THE SAME AGAIN for his family when one night the child spotted “mummy’s car”. I feel like I can’t say more to avoid spoilers, but trust me - you will want to find out what happens!
