What She Saw is a dark thriller full of twists, turns and an overall creepy feeling I'm struggling to let go of! The characters are very likeable and believable which is rare in a thriller! I loved the setting of the Lake District, such a perfect place for this to be set. Highly recommended 4/5 because I saw some twists quite early on.
I really enjoyed this book. The premise sounded intriguing and it didn’t disappoint. I read it in less than a day. Looking forward to more!
What She Saw by Wendy Clarke is a compelling read that will have you tearing through the pages to solve the mystery that surrounds the inscrutable Leona. This is one that I could not put down.
Leona is living with her partner, Scott and daughter, Beth in the Lake District, a seemingly peaceful existence far removed from the stresses of city life. Yet, from the outset, we learn that Leona is suffering panic attacks each time she conjures images of the elusive 'Ria', and daughter Beth is treated as an outsider at her school, and is bullied relentlessly. Through alternating points of view, and moving between present day in the Lakes, and twelve years previously in London, the stories of Leona, Beth, and Ria are revealed, and the shocking secrets that Leona has tried for so long to keep from her family begin to emerge. Have the ghosts of the past, having haunted Leona all of these years, finally caught up with her?
This is a gripping story, and my spine tingled more than once with tangible tension. There are just enough twists and surprises to make this a fun, yet nail-biting read. I am looking forward to reading more from this author.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC.
A very enjoyable read. I loved the thrill and mystery of the novel. Had a real air of mystery that I really couldn’t put the novel down xx
This was an exciting triller that I will not soon forget. Had some difficulty falling asleep having read it. The writer depicts some super stressful situations that have a significant impact on the lives of the characters. I highly recommend this amazing book.
