wordsofclover 's review for:
The Death Of Her
by Debbie Howells
I received a free digital copy of this book from the publishers/author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
When a woman is beaten up and left for dead in a small village in Cornwall, Charlotte isn’t too interested. That’s until she sees a photo of the woman, called Evie, and realises she knew her in school but her name was Jen. Now Charlotte becomes involved with helping Evie/Jen back to health while also helping the police investigate the disappearance of Evie’s daughter who may or may not actually exist.
This was a twisty turning book that definitely kept me guessing for a majority of the novel. From the get go, practically everything is suspicious about this story from Evie’s memory loss, the lackadaisical efforts of the police, Evie’s link with a missing girl from 20 years ago and even at times Charlotte’s involvement with the story.
This definitely had me creeped out at times, especially when there’s some suspicions Angel’s disappearance and Evie’s attack may have something to do with a Satanic club in the area (like what?) and then to be honest, for some reason the cover of the book freaks me out as well. I think it reminds me of a halloween I paid to be chased through a maze by a guy with a chainsaw. Yeah, I know.
The ending of this was good and some reveals had me reeling. I did feel like the police in this were at times laughable cause they were so bad. I also am not a huge fan of the ‘safe and sound’ epilogue in a lot of thrillers.
