I loved the ending even though I guessed where it was going.
An enjoyable book

A really good read with some great twists. Really enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading more from the author.

This book hooked me in from the beginning. an easy read that will suck you in from the start. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for gifting me the book

I first read Karen Cole when her novel Deliver Me came out - for that I was on the edge of my seat. Unfortunately for Deny Me I found it very slow and a bit ploddy! I wasn't surprised at the ending but hey ho you can't please everyone :)

Very twisty and easy to read. Really hooks you right from the start. A good pace and holds your attention well.

A dashing thriller that kept me on edge. I did feel like parts of it were a bit redundant at times, but overall an enjoyable read

I flew through this book, with a well-thought-out plot and really believable characters. would definitely recommend it!

Omg......... this book was amazing I flew threw the pages with Olympic speed I was hooked from the very first page. I found it full of twists and turns threw out and it kept me on the edge of my seat all the way threw  I would defiantly recommend this book if you like a good book to keep you reading threw the night hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did

Thank you NetGalley, Quercus Books and Karen Cole. Well, what do we expect when we go looking into the past? We find what we never saw before. This was a good thriller and boy oh boy did she find what she needed to find. This was a good read

As always Karen does it again
A brilliant psychological thriller with loads of twists and and really does keep you guessing until the end. Karen really doesn't disappoint. Highly recommend.

I love the cover of this novel and the inside. "Deny Me" is an suspenseful novel by Karen Cole. A page turner for sure.

I would like to thank Quercus and the Netgalley website for allowing me to read this book.

We find Jessica who at 32 years old has just divorced and returned to live with her parents to try to reflect, to rebuild herself. But her mother will soon have problems too, she will suffer from dementia. And some time after Jessica arrived, one of her neighbors fell and died in a terrible accident. Jessica's mother claims that it was her husband who killed her and that she saw the whole thing. And once in search of the truth, Jessica will discover much more.

A book read in one sitting, so much so that I was hooked on the story, so moving in certain passages, captivating, addictive, full of suspense and twists and turns with endearing characters.

I received a digital arc of this from netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Another great book by this author. Superb twist!! Thoroughly enjoyed it and flew through it. Couldn't put it down. Highly recommend Karen Cole!

Very good book, writing was good, loved the characters, was a first read from this author for me but I look forward to reading more by her...

Always a pleasure to read a book from Karen Cole, lots of twists and excitement and this one is no exception. A thriller worth picking up.

Having enjoyed Karen Cole's previous book "Deceive Me" I was looking forward to sinking my teeth into DENY ME. And I have to say, I think I loved this one even more!

He said it was an accident.
She said it was murder.
How far would YOU go to discover the truth?

Jessica Delaney has recently returned to England after her life fell apart in Spain. Leaving her controlling partner Matteo behind and a job she loved teaching, she returned home after spiraling into anxiety and depression after a mental health episode. But upon her arrival she discovered her mother, Jean, is suffering from Alzheimer's and her condition is gradually deteriorating.

One night after learning their neighbour's wife had fallen to her death from a window in recent weeks, Jean declares the woman was pushed and that she saw it happen. But given her gradual decline with dementia, how much of what Jean says can be believed? Is she confused? Or is she a witness to murder?

Jess believes her mother knows something but her father Brian and her brother Howie dismiss her claims as the dementia talking. But Jess is not so sure. Is her mother's claim just fantasy mingled with reality? Or are her memories confused with the present? Whatever the case may be, Jean appears to be truly frightened of something or someone.

Then when Jess receives a call that her mother has taken an overdose of her medication, Jess rushes to the hospital only to arrive too late. Her father is devastated but Jess can't help but feel something is wrong. Her father always doled out her mother's medication for her - how could she overdose on it intentionally or accidentally? Unless... Jess has a horrible feeling that her mother's fears weren't completely unfounded.

Just days before, Jean had started to tell Jess something that she had kept secret for years, whispering fearfully that "he wants me dead" and "I know too much". But her father walked in, ending their conversation. What was her mother about to tell her that was obviously so important? Jess thought she would get another opportunity to find out but sadly her mother died before she could ask her about it. But before she did, Jean had given Jess her jewellery box claiming that a lot of memories were stored in there. Was her mother trying to tell her something?

Knowing her previous mental health breakdown will preclude anyone from accepting her belief that her mother knew something, Jess decides to investigate but will she get more than she bargained for? As her quest for answers takes her back to the past Jess wants to know the truth, but she can't possibly prepare herself for what she'll uncover...

Told solely in Jess' narrative, DENY ME is a fast paced quick read that will have you turning the pages at the speed of light. Jess battles her own demons whilst on a journey for the truth with a number of events that not only affect her but also her family and friends.

The topics of mental health and dementia are dealt with sensitively and accurately and, as I am no stranger to either, I found myself in tears as I drew parallels to my own experiences. Watching Jean's confusion mingled with her moments of lucidity were both accurate and heartbreaking. As the dementia adds another dimension to the story, like Jess, we also question how much of one's memories real or imagined or mingled with reality? And did that make her mother's claims all the more real or a figment of her imagination?

Filled with family drama and secrets, DENY ME is a compelling and captivating thriller that will have you questioning everyone and everything. I hovered between two characters as the guilty party but still had it figured out before the shocking reveal came. It was clever and well written and I enjoyed every moment of the ride.

My only flaw I found with it was...how on earth did Jess get a passport without ever seeing her birth certificate? Because if she had...? Just a slight unanswered question that is a little fuzzy. And as such, the Spanish back story may have been better to have been left out altogether in that case. The same could have still taken place in England without the need for a passport, leaving the validity of that question dangling.

But nevertheless, DENY ME is an engaging and twisty psychological thriller that is addictive throughout. Right up to that shocking end. Packed with enough twists to give you whiplash and whether you see what is coming or not, that Epilogue will leave you breathless!

Definitely recommend!
