4 Stars from me
This was such an enjoyable read, one of those books where nothing is quite what it seems and it is hard to feel sure which version of events, if any, is the truth of a situation.
There were some very likeable characters, and some very unlikeable characters but they were all well-defined and distinct making it possible to keep up with the complex storyline as it unfolded.
Much like the author’s other books, The Last Time I Saw Him is a clever psychological thriller with some brilliant and mostly unexpected twists and turns throughout. Lots of tension and suspense and oh so many secrets that people are very keen to keep hidden!
Blurb: The gripping new thriller in the Stephanie King series, available to pre-order now. WOULD YOU KEEP A SECRET FOR A STRANGER, IF IT MEANT THE BLOOD WAS ON YOUR HANDS?
Celia, Juliette and Nadia are complete strangers with one thing in common: they have all been wronged by Ellis Cobain. A wealthy philanthropist on course for a knighthood, Ellis’ public persona is bulletproof – but lurking beneath this veneer is a sinister side that only the women closest to him have seen.
When they meet at a boutique hotel on the Cornish coast, brought together by the blind arrogance of their tormentor, they realise what connects them and form a pact: to blackmail him and free themselves from his grasp.
But when he is discovered the next morning, murdered in cold blood, they are left scrambling. None of them knows who did it, and now they must desperately cover their tracks.
Will they keep each other’s secrets, now they are all implicated in his death? Will one turn on the others, when any of them could be next?
