4 Stars from me
This is a busy book with several viewpoints portrayed as the story develops and a main character who you will want to throttle 😉
Kaitlin appears to be living the dream, she has a gorgeous new partner, Greg, and her best friend Zoe has returned from Portugal meaning she can finally introduce her best friend to the love of her life. It’s red flag central however, when her best friend seems to have an issue with her new man.
Inevitably things soon take a darker turn and Kaitlin is left reeling – but who/what should she believe?
This is a quick and fun read from Sheryl Browne that is perfect for fans of psychological thrillers, it moves at a pace and has rapidly developing plot lines.
Blurb: The invites went out weeks ago, and tonight, at a lavish manor house surrounded by friends and family, Kaitlin couldn’t be happier. But as the champagne corks pop, her dream party becomes her worst nightmare…
Staring at the stunning diamond solitaire on her finger, Kaitlin is finally getting the chance to introduce her best friend Zoe to her perfect fiancé. She hasn’t known Greg long, but he looks after her, and he loves playing dad to her young daughter. How could she say no when he’s already planned their elopement?
As guests arrive, why is Greg acting so shifty? And is that a flicker of recognition on Zoe’s face? And why does she look terrified every time her phone rings?
Kaitlin watches as Zoe knocks back her white wine and makes a beeline for Greg. After a heated conversation, Zoe stumbles towards the door and flees the party without looking back.
Days later, the police knock at Kaitlin’s door – Zoe is missing.
Kaitlin wants to believe her loving fiancé is not to blame, but she knows what she saw the night of the party. And when he lies to the police, can she trust the man she’s marrying? Could Kaitlin and her precious daughter’s life now be in danger too?
The Invite is an absolutely unmissable psychological thriller, perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl and The Wife. You’ll be hooked from the first page!
