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.
