The Dilemma- B.A Paris- Psychological thriller
It’s the day of Livia’s fortieth birthday- something she has been looking forward to for
many years. She is estranged from her parents who turned her away when she got
pregnant. Twenty two years later she still sends cards but received nothing from them
at all. She and her husband Adam have two grown up children. Marnie is secretly flying
back from Hong Kong to surprise her mother at the party however Livia is quite
pleased that Marnie wo’;t be there as there is something she needs to tell Adam about
Marnie, something she knows will devastate him. Adam has never been close to his
son and is doing his best to make up for lost time. When the children were little Adam
desperately wanted to go to university and felt this had been stolen from him. He is
close to Marnie but Josh needs more work. At the beginning, Adam is on his motorbike
and is stopped by the police for speeding. when he stops he says “Marnie, my
daughter Marnie” and then we are taken back to before the party. Ooh! This is one of
B.A Paris’s classic I - can’t-put-it-down reads. The secrecy and then tension are there
from the get go with that air of mystery. I smiled, I cried, and every emotion in
between. Wow! A book to make you think about the fragility of life and how
sometimes life can turn on the very smallest thing. Treasure your loved ones,
life life to the full. A treasure of a read and one I will remember for a very long
time. Stunning doesn’t do it justice.
