3 posts | 4 read
*** THE BRAND NEW STANDALONE NOVEL FROM THE MASTER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SUSPENSE *** The Lying Room reasserts Nicci French as the master of duplicity, suspense and sleight of hand Sam Baker Neve Connolly looks down at a murdered man. She doesn't call the police. You know, its funny, Detective Inspector Hitching said. Whoever I see, they keep saying, talk to Neve Connolly, shell know. Shes the one people talk to, shes the one people confide in. A trusted colleague and friend. A mother. A wife. Neve Connolly is all these things. She has also made mistakes; some small, some unconsciously done, some large, some deliberate. She is only human, after all. But now one mistake is spiralling out of control and Neve is bringing those around her into immense danger. She cant tell the truth. So how far is she prepared to go to protect those she loves? And who does she really know? And who can she trust? A liar. A cheat. A threat. Neve Connolly is all these things. Could she be a murderer?

This is my first Nicci French book. It kept me enthralled even though it got convoluted and a bit unbelievable towards the end. Good though. And I will read more of them. I didn‘t realise until I started that the author is a married couple writing together. I don‘t know how they do it but it seems to work!

Mehso-so

Neve day goes from bad to worse walking in to find the body of her lover. Neve‘s first instinct is to remove any signs that she had been there in order to protect her family. I found the detective in this book very much in the vein of Columbo and all a little far fetched. A definite who done it where there are a few people all with motive. An alright read but not one of my favourites
