Description:
Ursula, Gareth and Alice have never met before.
Ursula thinks she killed the love of her life.
Gareth’s been receiving strange postcards.
And Alice is being stalked.
None of them are used to relying on others – but when the three strangers’ lives unexpectedly collide, there’s only one thing for it: they have to stick together. Otherwise, one of them will die.
Three strangers, two secrets, one terrifying evening.
The million-copy bestseller returns with a gripping new novel that will keep you guessing until the end.
My View:
With multiple story lines, I love how all the different characters and their worlds collide in one tense standoff. This is a mystery that will keep you guessing whilst simultaneously reminding you that what you “see” on the outside often does not reflect the inner, the real person – their turmoils and challenges.
This quietly written book is disturbing, a great character driven mystery.
Reading, Writing and Riesling 
I really like the way you put that, Carol – quietly written. It’s a great way to describe that tension that can build up in a story and get you before you even know it’s happened. And this sounds like an interesting blend of character study and suspense plot.
There is a scene fairly early in the book that had me cheering for the protagonist – no spoilers – but she stood up for herself. There are some thoughtful places in this book.
