Intrigue in spades

Reviewed in Australia on 17 January 2020

I love all Nicci French books (except for the change of style with the Monday, Tuesday, etc series). There is something 'unputdownable' and sheer readability about all these books, with a combination of psychological mystery and undertones of menace imbuing the normal lives of our victims. Read one Nicci French, and you'll want to read them all. I've read 'Killing Me Softly' several times, and will probably read it again some time in the future. If you like psychological thrillers, give it a go!

You can sense the danger in this book. Some how when the book was finished i felt sire there was more to come. I felt that Alice might also be hiding something. Or perhaps she imagined her situation.

Passion and mystery at its best!

Reviewed in Australia on 13 January 2016

What a brilliant read! With a hint of 50 shades, this story captured the imagination, and drew me in from the very beginning. An expertly written tale of passion combined with mystery that kept me utterly enthralled. I couldn't put it down until the last page had been devoured.

Stunning!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 December 2020

For someone who years ago was trapped in a marriage that happened too quickly and who nearly died as a result I found this book fascinating and very therapeutic. With the added drama of the mountains it was an incredible read. The friends who realised nothing, the high neck sweaters, the constant fear of which there was no escape. Your own prison. A compelling and honest read.

A gripping but grim read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 January 2017

Verified Purchase

I have read several books by these authors and broadly they fell in to a similar pattern. The protagonist is a young woman who puts herself in danger by following hunches and clues in the pursuit of exposing a murderer.
This book was different in the beginning, starting as a love story and went on to become an uncomfortable read as sexual violence and manipulation were graphically described. After that it reverted to the more psychological thriller I have enjoyed before.
It was a bit too grim for me.

Enjoyable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 November 2019

This read like the Hallmark psychological thrillers I used to enjoy watching while I skived off school and despite the immense advances in police procedure the domestic-noir element keeps it feeling up-to-date and the themes of domestic abuse and rape as relevant today as ever. I thoroughly enjoyed this title, far more so than The Memory Game (the first I'd read of this author couple). Although there was still a lot of padding, I felt confident the authors had a finer grasp on what they were doing with this one.

Gripping, terrifying, amazing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 July 2013

Alice is living with Jake, average life, until an earth-shattering chance meeting with a blue eyed man sweeps her off her feet and her life as she knows it is thrown into turmoil.
Alice is seduced by Adam's obsession with her. To me it felt as if Alice was living in a fog, under a veil, like there is no clarity when she is with Adam. She knows that she will never be loved like this again, but is it enough, and at what price. Adam leads a haphazard life. Never putting down roots, or settling in one place. Perhaps that's a product of his upbringing. You never get to the bottom of his true history.
The writing is "staccato-style" and takes a bit of getting used to. Also not sure if there was a problem with the kindle version, but sentences and chapters merged into one another without a break, and read a bit oddly.
It was a gripping book, bordering on disturbing and I think the authors got the balance just about right. Read it in one evening.

Fine thriller with a serious side

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 June 2011

I wish I could give this book to every Twihard. It's beautifully written in a good plain style. I found Alice very easy to believe, even though I didn't much like her. The plot demands that she gives up her whole life for Adam - it's erotic obsession - but then she suddenly starts getting curious about his past. I thought it might partly be the obsession itself - she literally seems to think of nothing else - but I also thought the book might have spent more time on this, more time explaining how her doubts arose. As for Adam, I've known a few alpha males... they do fill up a life and make it seem important. The drama, the possessiveness - all of it makes the person feel important, as if everything in their life has immense importance. Alice buys this, and then gives up on it. Apart from the violent sex, it's hard to see that Adam is a threat to Alice UNLESS she wants to leave, which she seemingly does. I felt quite annoyed with her yo-yoing. Having behaved crazily, she then can't commit to the craziness enough. I thought at times that the book might have been better without the genre elements, without the murders and intrigues. what if there was simply a book about obsessive love? Is that problem enough in itself? However, I did enjoy it very much, and will try some more of this author's work.
