I received an ARC of this book form Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Synopsis
Louise
Since her husband walked out, Louise has made her son her world, supporting them both with her part-time job. But all that changes when she meets…
David
Young, successful and charming – Louise cannot believe a man like him would look at her twice let alone be attracted to her. But that all comes to a grinding halt when she meets his wife…
Adele
Beautiful, elegant and sweet – Louise's new friend seems perfect in every way. As she becomes obsessed by this flawless couple, entangled in the intricate web of their marriage, they each, in turn, reach out to her.
But only when she gets to know them both does she begin to see the cracks… Is David really is the man she thought she knew and is Adele as vulnerable as she appears?
Just what terrible secrets are they both hiding and how far will they go to keep them?
My review
When Louise encounters a near one night stand with her new boss, the handsome and delictable David, little does she realise that it ends up costing her alot more than just her job!
"Behind Her Eyes" was a nail biting, psychotic thriller which had me second guessing each character right until the last word! I thought I knew what would happen but I never expected the story to take the twist that it did.
Initially, I didn't like the way the storyline kept going from past to present when the characters were speaking but as I got more involved in the book, I realised that it was necessary to explain how the plot develops.
The pace of the storyline was quite long but as the story is told from each characters perspective, you get used to it the more you read on. The characters are all deeply troubled in their own way and each have a secret that they can't have revealed in order to stay out of trouble.
I've read quite a few books this year but in terms of twists, plots and mind blowing experiences, this book is top of the list by far!!
A fabulous read for 2017 and I hope there's a sequel soon to follow.
5 out of 5 stars
