Synopsis:
If you can’t trust yourself, who can you trust?
Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods, on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, with the woman sitting inside―the woman who was killed. She’s been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It’s a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm. Her husband would be furious if he knew she’d broken her promise not to take that shortcut home. And she probably would only have been hurt herself if she’d stopped.
But since then, she’s been forgetting every little thing: where she left the car, if she took her pills, the alarm code, why she ordered a pram when she doesn’t have a baby.
The only thing she can’t forget is that woman, the woman she might have saved, and the terrible nagging guilt.
Or the silent calls she’s receiving, or the feeling that someone’s watching her
My Thoughts and Opinion:
If you are a fan of psychological thrillers, then this is an author you need to read! I read BEHIND CLOSED DOORS and could not put it down. And once I read the last page, I was anxiously waiting for this book to become available. Did it compare?
On her way home, Cass takes a shorter route, however, her husband tells her not to. Sher sees a stranded car and pulls over but is a bit ambivalent about helping, especially after the warning from her husband. And then the shocking news the following day, a woman has been murdered on the same road. Was the driver of the car she saw the victim? Should she contact the police? But then, how is she going to look especially since she didn’t help? Then the calls start. An open line but nothing is said. Is this the murderer?
B.A Paris does it again! Another riveting and chilling read! The only negative, I now have to wait for her next book! Highly recommend!
This blog was founded on the premise to write honest reviews, to the best of my ability, no matter who from, where from and/or how the book was obtained, and will continue to do so, even if it is through PICT or PBP.
I received a copy of this book, at no charge to me, in exchange for my honest review.
No items that I receive are ever sold…they are kept by me, or given to family and/or friends.
I do not have any affiliation with Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble. I am an IndieBound affiliate. I am providing link(s) solely for visitors that may be interested in purchasing this Book/EBook.
I agree! I love her books and am looking forward to the next one.
Do you know when or the title for the next book? I want to preorder it as soon as I can.
I liked this one very much too.
