Before You Die
Before You Die | Samantha Hayes
9 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
A spate of teenage suicides appear to be taking place in rural Warwickshire. DI Lorraine Fisher must find out whether they''re suicide or murder. A gripping new thriller by the author of" Until You''re Mine." If you're a fan of "Before I Go to Sleep," you will love this. Five years previously, nineteen-year-old Simon Hawkeswell hung himself at his family home. He had had the perfect life, and seemed to have the perfect future ahead of him. As the years pass, the reasons behind his death remain a mystery. Present day, and Simon''s parents and his local community remain haunted by his death and by the spate of 'sympathetic' suicides among teenagers in the area that followed. But this is all over now -or is it: a question that becomes particularly relevant when a young homeless man is killed in a freak motorbike accident, and the authorities find a suicide note in his belongings. Can this be the beginning of more suicides? Detective Inspector Lorraine Fisher has just arrived to stay with her sister in rural Warwickshire. The atmosphere within the house is tense and edgy: Lorraine''s sister Jo is having an extra-marital affair, and her teenage son, Freddie, seems troubled and uncommunicative. A second homeless lad takes his own life, this time on the railway tracks outside the village. And when Freddie disappears, Lorraine knows she must act quickly if she''s to ascertain whether the teenage deaths are suicide -or murder. And if she''s to find Freddie, before it''s too late.

Started off strong, but the ending became a little contrived.

I found this very hard to read at first. It felt a bit fractured and kept mentioning things that had happened in the past which made me think I should have read a previous book first (not the case) but eventually the story found its rhythm and the pace picked up. I figured out 'who done it' about half way through but totally missed the final twist. Excellent ending.
