Book Description
After being made redundant from a seemingly secure job Jolene Carr takes a two week break in the sun. On the first day she meets Raquel, another hotel guest. Little does she realise how this apparently innocent acquaintance will lead to terrible and lasting consequences. After a frightening incident she hits a conspiracy of silence from the locals and over the rest of the holiday she feels herself slipping into a vortex of fear. Back home, the nightmare continues and she realises that Raquel is stalking her. Her hippie mother and her partner Mark tell her she is imagining it all. All certainties, even about relationships, become fluid and treacherous as her past begins to unravel. If it wasn’t for Rob, her ex-lover who Jolene thinks has his own agenda, she would be left to cope on her own.
How much fear and betrayal can one person take?
Review
This chilling story starts with Jo meeting a fellow tourist over breakfast at her hotel in Sri Lanka, but the terrifying events that follow escalate, leaving Jo fearful for her life and the reader unnerved at the edge of their seat.
Jo’s fear, frustration and sheer desperation is palpable throughout this psychological thriller as she doubts every relationship she has. The way her stalker keeps tabs on her and implicates herself into her life gave me chills. The suspense in this book is well-written and the premise that what happens to Jo could happen to anyone lends fear factor.
A totally gripping, but chilling read.
