What could have been a chance to a new life, seems to turn into a life-threatening case. A love at first sight that may never lead to a happily ever...
James is a warm hearted bookseller who wanted to help Emma, a homeless student. The attraction was instant and both may have a happy life together. But the magic left once James, back from a pleasant getaway in the Alps, found out his flat was burgled and precious items disappeared. Additionally, he is questioned by the police in the case of the murder of a homeless person.
The veil of blind love is taken away and James, together with his friend Sally, are trying to reveal the truth that may lead him to surprising truths about his beloved.
I was caught by the story from the very first line and kept reading it without too many breaks in between. The psychological suspense is exponentially built, creating a high tension within the story, as well as between the characters. We may be mislead about the motivations behind the crimes, and until a solution is revealed it is almost impossible to see the light.
But this is how I like my psychological thrillers, and once the book was finished, I may have missed some hints or two, but overall, it was an excellent reading experience, both in terms of narrative and characters. It was my first book by this author, but definitely not the last one.
Rating: 5 stars
