Don't Breathe -Heleyne Hammersley -psychological thriller
Four masked gunmen march into a school and take a class hostage. Fortunately
the teacher had spotted them and managed to get one child out to take a note
to the head. In the class are the son of the head and the daughter of the
assistant head. Could this be anything to do with it? Unknown to anyone is
that the single parents of these children are in a relationship. The teacher of
the group recently met with her brother to discuss the finances of their
mother in a care home. He then told her he was addicted to gambling and
had borrowed money- not only from their mothers fund but from a local
loan shark. In the hostage situation she wonders if this could be anything
to do with it but not sure how. Many have secrets and all wonder if they
could be the hidden target. What are the men after and why take the
class hostage?
This very quickly drew me in and kept me there with a brilliantly written
air of tension. We get “ before” chapters which give us some of the
background to the secrets of the staff and students. A cleverly thought
out well constructed plot to keep you guessing to the very end.
