THE SILENT FRIEND by Diane Jeffrey-psychological thriller 

Wow! One that slowly draws you in and keeps you amongst the pages. Laura and her

friends travel from Northern Ireland to France to go and see a band as part of a

holiday. Laura has always said no to the group holidays as she hates flying but this

time the band were too hard to resist. Sandrine and her family live near Lyon

and one of their sons has a new job at the concert hall there. When there is an

incident at the gig Sandrine and Laura have a shared interest. Laura has been

held hostage and Sandrine’s sons are also involved. Laura and Sandrine begin

communicating on a forum created by Sandrine and Sam, her husband for

victims and those affected by the tragedy. Laura does not know other than

that she has lost a son, how Sandrine is involved. I really enjoyed this- for

the most part it doesn't come across as a psychological thriller, more of a

drama/thriller. I took to Laura and her situation and the PTSD, panic attacks

etc this is sensitively and very well written and puts it across very well

without too much disturbing detail (although some parts are

understandably heavy with such a tragic event) but enough to make

the reader believe. A carefully crafted well thought out plot and

characters to take to. A fascinating read.
