This is the first psychological thriller by Amanda Rigby, a duo of authors. I am very used to reading Sally Rigby’s work. Sally is the Rigby as Amanda Ashby who is the Amanda to the Rigby. I did wonder how this book would pan out but, I shouldn’t have let myself even doubt the quality. An exciting and absorbing thriller, let’s check out the synopsis…then I shall give you my thoughts.
A perfect life…
Paul Henderson leads a normal life. A deputy headteacher at a good school, a loving relationship with girlfriend Jenna, and a baby on the way. Everything seems perfect.
A shocking message…
Until Paul receives a message from his ex-fiance Nicole. Beautiful, ambitious and fierce, Nicole is everything Jenna is not. And now it seems Nicole is back, and she has a score to settle with Paul…
A deadly secret.
But Paul can’t understand how Nicole is back. Because he’s pretty sure he killed her with his own bare hands….
Which means, someone else knows the truth about what happened that night. And they’ll stop at nothing to make Paul pay…
This is a brilliantly written psychological thriller that is as a thriller should be, taut, twisty and with a tension that just keeps you on the edge of your seat. You wonder what’s coming next with the amount of mystery that oozes out of the pages. The characters are so believable, even if they weren’t all likeable.
A fast-paced story with the author’s skilful writing leading me up paths that had my head spinning with attempting to work out where the story was heading.
As the story unfolded even further I was so engrossed I didn’t want it to end but before I knew it I was turning the last page. A thoroughly entertaining and great first book from Amanda Rigby.
Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Boldwood Books for the copy of the book.
