This was a well crafted suspense with many twists and turns, and surprises. It was an enjoyable read.
Many thanks to Amazon Crossing and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

I read the first chapter skimmed the next few and finally threw in the towel. I don't know what it was but I just couldn't follow the storyline

Gabriel is faced with the tragedy of his life--his beautiful wife Chloe, although a great swimmer, has drowned in the ocean. Chloe meant everything to him, and so he finds himself needing the support of a bereavement group. In that same group, Emma, a photographer and wannabe world explorer, is volunteering her time. While Gabriel and Emma get closer, the presence of Chloe starts to become stronger and stronger. The question is--will this bring Emma closer to Gabriel, or push her away?

This book will strike a lot of feelings in readers, but not necessarily in a good way. The book starts off as a somber mystery, wondering whether Chloe is able to interfere with Gabriel's world from the afterlife. Chloe and Emma are the main narrators, and they both have an agenda to complete, none of which makes it seem like either one care about Gabriel in the matter. Chloe doesn't want Gabriel to move on from their relationship, and Emma is determined to keep their budding relationship moving as fast as possible.

Then a severe plot twist in the middle (which I won't reveal here) turns these deceptive women into full-blown unreliable narrators. This induced a lot of anger while reading it, because the second half of the book felt messy and contrived to fit into what the average person considers to be 'real drama' these days. The women are still awful people, and Gabriel is still stuck in the middle. You don't know whether to feel sorry for him or chuckle because if he doesn't see how these women really are, he deserves what he gets. The only redeeming quality of this book? The women get what they deserve by the end, too.

Interference was a quick, thrilling read with a twist that I never saw coming.

Interference follows three alternating perspectives following the death of Chloé. First we are introduced to Chloé who has drowned at the beginning of the story. Next we have her husband, Gabriel, who is devastated by his wife's death and is trying to come to terms with it. Finally we have Emma, a photographer who has moved to St. Malo and is helping Gabriel deal with his grief.

For being a rather short book, Interference covers a decent length of time. Over the course of roughly a year and three months, we follow Chloé, Gabriel and Emma dealing with the aftermath of Chloé's death. Chloé's chapters in particular kept me guessing as I was curious about how we were getting her perspective when she drowned at the beginning of the story. I think the twist the author came up with to explain how everything was connected was definitely a unique one. In all the scenarios I had come up with, I didn't even come close to what actually happened.

Interference is unusual in that Chloé and Emma's points of view are done in first person whereas Gabriel's is in third person. It was an interesting choice by the author and I felt it made me draw more comparisons between Chloé and Emma. Unfortunately though it did lead to some repetition in that Chloé would talk about something that happened to her and then in Gabriel's point of view we would get those same events from an outside perspective.

Overall, I felt Interference was a very fun read that definitely kept me guessing right until the end. I would recommend the book if you're a fan of thrillers and looking for something unique and quick to read.

Unfortunately the twists and turns were a big let down. The beginning is quite interesting however once you reach that first revelation everything goes downhill. I honestly wanted to like this one...
