This fast-paced thriller has an action-packed start, when uni student, Gemma gets shot in the middle of her graduation ceremony! Her poor parents witness the horrific event and are left distraught and utterly confused by what has happened.
Teresa has done it again and has written another corker of a book! All of her thrillers are fantastic and this one is no exception in fact, I think it may be my favourite so far.
Gripping and tense with lots of suspense! Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author Teresa Driscoll for the privilege of reading this book. This book has every thriller’s trifecta: love, marriage and murder. Driscoll expertly weaves her stories together in unexpected and clever ways. This is a highly accomplished thriller, a very frightening one with a backdrop of evil you hope never to encounter. About 78% through the book I thought I’d guessed the shooter, but I was wrong.
Yet everybody has something to hide and, as more secrets come to light, you can’t help feeling you’ve been deceived somewhere along the line, and not necessarily by the character you thought. The book is written from several points of view - the mother, the private investigator (PI Matthew Hill is my personal favourite and DI Melanie Sanders), the father, the daughter, all with their own stories to tell. This is an injury that will require enormous strength to tell a patient and if that’s not enough, a heartrending mystery to unravel. Pomp and pageantry turned to mayhem and unspeakable horror-a parent’s worst nightmare. And at such a public occasion where families and children were present. You can’t help relishing such an addictive read, a brilliantly sustained psychological suspense.įrom a well-chosen pink dress in the prologue to blood-red spatters in Chapter 1, this was a frightening opening for me. Like all Teresa Driscoll’s books, the writing style is easy to read, fast-paced and with enough description to drop you right into the action. I was thrilled to be offered an advance copy of Her Perfect Family by the author.
