The first Heidi Perks that I’ve read.
This thriller is based on a couple who out of the blue and without explanation, started having marital problems after the family dog went missing. They started to visit a couples therapist who for no obvious reason was paranoid of why she in particular was sought out and that one of them was lying.
It’s a bit twisty with turns that keep you wanting to read and came together well at the end. There were a few red herrings or just some ends left unexplained.
Chapters focus on particular characters and go backwards and forwards to explain the story.
With thanks to #NetGalley, Randomhouse and Cornerstone UK for this preview read.
