A psychological thriller a tense chilling story .Characters that came alive a book that kept me turning the pages late into the night. An author whose books I look forward to reading.#netgalley #harpercollinsaustralia.

I had high hopes for this book, but was sadly disappointed. I only got 10% into it before I gave up. Thank you for the opportunity to read this book.

Duplicate Review:
An overall compelling story as far as suspense novels go if you are new to the genre. For veteran readers, the narrative holds a hint of familiarity to this category and lacks the intensified plot pace to really push that anticipatory feel. The foreshadowing is overcompensated and the character development is just shy of being fully developed. With the constant shift in points of view in addition to the switch from past and present, it was difficult to feel connected to any one character in particular. It was just an okay read. 3 stars.

Over all I enjoyed this book. I like the back and forth way of telling the story between characters and I feel like the characters were well developed.

Alice knows about her husband’s sexual exploits when they were at university. She knows he had a bad reputation but nobody would ever tell her what exactly had been going on. Then she thinks she sees one of his exes, Ruth, on a train - the only thing is, Ruth has been missing for the past 15 years.

This story is told from the point of view of Alice, Naomi-Ruth’s sister, and Kat-Ruth’s best friend.

It is described as a thriller but for me it read more like a mystery. It moved a little slow for my taste until about halfway through and then I got to a point where I couldn’t put it down. I would say definitely worth the read.

I had some difficulty getting into this book, it was kind of a slow start. The characters were tough for me to connect with, and the plot was draggy. I still rate it a solid 3 stars.
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC to read and review.

Alice has never really been comfortable with her husband’s past as a womanizer. But now Alice is pregnant and her pregnancy is intensifying her insecurities. She can’t stop obsessing about Ruth, the girl George was dating in college. The girl that disappeared before they graduated. Alice believes she has seen Ruth on a train, but that can’t be possible, can it. Because if Ruth is alive it means that George has been keeping some big secrets from his wife. This is a twisted tale of obsession and revenge
