THE WRECKAGE by Robin Morgan-Bentley-psychological thriller
“Gripping and sinister, The Wreckage is guaranteed to keep you up all night…”
Ben is having a nightmare only he isn’t asleep. He was on the motorway on the way to
his school teaching position and a man ran out in front of him.He learned from visiting
him in hospital that he had left a note “ Tell Maxy I’m sorry” which relieves some of his
guilt. He meets Alice who is Adam’s wife and they develop a relationship. Ben is
desperate to make amends and is an anxious nervous sort of guy with little life
experience despite his years, naive perhaps. I liked Ben and felt that he had others
best intentions at heart. Yes there is an obsession of sorts but when something like
that has happened who is to say how we would react? There are some sensitive
subject issues handled very well- mental health, suicide, bereveament etc. and the
many layers that each of these have and we all have and experience in one way or
another. That said this is an easy read. One of those that doesn’t put you on the
edge of your seat in a nice way- it’s a comfortable read mostly before the twist
(Of course there is a twist!). A cleverly written engaging read, my first from
this author- and one to look out for,
