Kat and Mark move to an island off the Northern Irish coast for a new beginning. Far away from their frantic life in London, it’s the perfect place to bring up the family they’re longing to start.
But as soon as they arrive, cracks begin to appear in their marriage. Mark is still texting his ex-wife. Kat is lying about a new friendship. And one of them is keeping an explosive secret about the past.
The couple in Causeway Cottage are hiding something – and the truth can be deadly…
‘Pacy, twisty and full of shocks, all the way to the jaw-dropping finale’ S.E. Lynes
I am so sorry Diane for how late I am posting this review 🙁
I have to admit I love Diane’s books, but I have been rubbish at keeping up with them. So, when the opportunity came up to read her new book, I grabbed it with both hands.
OH. MY. DAYS!!!!
What a bloody book! I am blown away. I spent most of the book turned around and upside down. I guessed a twist but you know what it was still so shocking. I was expecting to be told I was wrong so to be right, well hells bells!
This is an intense book and it doesn’t hold back. Yes, Kat can be a bit irritating at times, sometimes too naive and other times frustrating yet you still urge her on to the truth. The one you suspect. The one you don’t expect to be true.
I don’t want to be one of those people, but I am… that ending. Gosh, the chills. I never expected that and my god it was cold, so cold and shocking and just such an epic ending. Wow.
Diane has bamboozled me and I am never getting on her bad side. A book set in a beautiful location with a tarnished history. She sucks you in and she will not let you go until you have discovered the secrets. I get lost in her writing, I was there with Kat, reacting (most of the time) in the same way. This book gave me so many feelings and a lot of them made my jaw drop as I tried to sweep it off the floor!
This is one of my top books this year without a shadow of a doubt. There’s no way it can’t be. It is a great thriller, allowing you to immerse yourself in the story and question would you do the same thing?
Until next time xxx
