American nanny Eleanor was never meant to meet Alex. But when she walks into his London police station to report a stalker, everything changes for them both. He’s convinced he can protect her from anything and anyone. She hopes her darkest days are behind her.

As they settle into their life together, two hundred miles away another young couple faces an uncertain future. Christie knows Paul is a decent man, but she can’t shake a clairvoyant’s warning: ‘Never trust your husband . . .’ When a work trip tests their bond, will she overcome her fears for the sake of her family?

Ten years later, both couples are still together, for better or worse. But as doubts and resentments begin bubbling steadily to the surface, all four of them start to question the choices they’ve made.

At least the secrets they all brought into their marriages are still well hidden.

For now.

When two worlds collide

Reviewed in Australia on 19 November 2019

The chapters in the book alternate between Christie and Eleanor with their husbands stories woven in. It seems like two different books meshed into one, yet common sense dictates there must be an overlap or connection so I kept looking for clues to merge the stories . When it comes, it's unexpected and you start to question everything you read. Totally not what I expected! A book about human nature and how an unresolved past can warp each one of us so easily. A good holiday read.

I would never have guessed this book had so many twists and turns. The characters were developed very well and I just couldn’t put the book down right til the very end! I had to know what happened. Loved it!

Interesting twists with too many inconsistencies

Reviewed in Australia on 19 November 2019

An ok read which fluctuates too rapidly between characters. Interesting plot twists makes it relatively enjoyable. Not one that I will re-read.

Full of secrets and lies...

Reviewed in Australia on 1 November 2019

Wow! I did not know what to expect... but the end of the prologue was so riveting... that I knew I was in for something truly special...
‘And so now I will always be something other than what everyone thought I was. Something other than what I wished to be. That is the price I will pay, forever. And so be it.’

‘Home Truths” is twisted... but subtly so... it is masterfully written... it kind of creeps up on you ...
Tina Seskis is a talented writer and completely threw me off course, so much so I just had to swipe madly... to find out what was going on...
From very early on I was convinced I knew who the villain was... I was wrong...

The novel moves quickly, detailing the lives of two couples over decades. I became addicted quickly to the characters and wanted to keep reading to know where it was all going. Each chapter is dedicated to one of four main characters so you truly become part of their world, feeling their feelings.. seeing things through their eyes...

I really liked the way each chapter told the story and I loved that it was easy to follow with concise chapters. It’s full of secrets and lies but you won’t be able to quite put your finger on it all until the final pages where a big twist throws the reader and then I was shocked at the deception that I’d totally missed.
5 Stars...

Brilliant in every way

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 November 2019

A page/kindle screen turner....
So much so I read it in a few hours
There is a feeling of delicious menace and ‘what is behind all the characters stories in all these sub plots’ all the way through and an uneasy ( yet exciting ) taut feeling that you are getting nearer and nearer to the truth
Whats great in this book is that you don’t actually get anywhere near the truth until the last few pages when everything makes sense, the wonderful 1 sentence that pieces the 300 or so previous pages together and you think ‘ SO THATS IT’
I am not giving anything away about this psychological thriller except to say it is brilliantly done, clever, tense and yet you dont know why its so tense or what it is leading up to you just know it is and know all is going to be revealed
Easy and pleasurable to read, a wonderful diverse cast of characters and a story that will leave you unsettled yet thrilled and wish you had thought of such a good tale
And I loved that Bounds Green ( where I once lived many moons ago) was mentioned
Brilliant!

A real page turner!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 November 2019

I enjoyed Home Truths and it's definitely a page turner with a good amount of tension running through the book. The only thing that disappointed me was that flipping between characters so quickly somehow means you don't really get under their skin / to know them so even by the end of the novel I felt they all lacked depth and I didn't care about any of them enough.

Thoroughly enjoyable!
This was my first reads selection for November and I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes their imagination stretched!
I'm afraid I've marked it down because, unlike the previous reviewers, I did work out fairly early on what was happening, although not the full extent!
The final twist is magnificent!

Dull, dull, dull

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 May 2020

If this is a psychological thriller then I’m Alfred Hitchcock! What a dismal, tedious, non-entity of a story. There’s more suspense about what I’m going to cook for dinner tonight than in all 300-plus pages of this rambling excuse for a novel.

The main characters — two seemingly unconnected couples — are flat, uninteresting and not even remotely relatable. I didn’t care for any of them or for the minutiae of their boring lives.

Then there’s no tension in the plot — hell, there’s no plot, just a meandering, directionless drivel. I wanted suspense, excitement, thrills and got an anodyne bedtime story.

There are vague hints about secrets and a few minor flashes of unexplained panic, but nothing that really piques your curiosity. A good thriller sucks you in chapter by chapter, gripping then teasing with skillfully spun twists and turns. Or it is atmospheric and sinister, invoking a creeping sense of menace just waiting to explode off the page. Home Truths does neither. Home Truths is like being trapped on a slow train to nowhere on a foggy day: uninspiring, uneventful and oh so dull.

I don’t give a jot that it all comes together in the last ten percent of the book. It wasn’t worth it for the drudgery of wading through 285 pages of twaddle. I only finished it to give an honest review.

Thanks for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful. You can find more candid book reviews on my Amazon profile page.
