Gripping

The Girl Before by J.P. Delaney is a contemporary thriller. I received a sample from Net Galley. It was just perfect to whet my appetite.

The novel is written in the first person from two different viewpoints and in two different times – ‘then’ and ‘now.’ The action all hinges around a house – a house that is harbouring a secret.

So far the themes I identified were secrets, new beginnings and PTSD connected to loss.

I have no idea how the novel will develop or end – but I intend to find out. The thirty minute sample I read was just the beginning but it was totally gripping. I cannot wait to find out how it develops.

I received this book for free. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.
