Her last Holiday- C.L Taylor- Psychological thriller            


   "You come to Soul Shrink to be healed. You don’t expect to die“

 One to play with your head and spin you around- perfect! Fran is on a retreat 

at her mothers behest. The man running itTom Wade was let out of prison 9 

months ago having been convicted of two deaths on one of his retreats in Gozo.

 At the same time Fran’s sister Jenna went missing, presumed dead. Fran has 

gone under an assumed name and her mother has insisted that the only way to 

get to truth is to confront Tom and see his reaction when Jenna is mentioned. 

On the first night there Fran receives a note addressed to her real name

 informing her that Jenna didnt commit suicide as the police thought but 

was murdered. Someone knows her real identity and more about Jenna.

This draws you in and keeps you there. A mystery as well as a thriller. 

That air of suspense and whodunnit, brilliantly written as ever. My view

 of whodunnit changed as I went through (and was totally wrong) something

 I enjoy to keep the grey matter active. A suspenseful read right until the

 very end. We get alternate chapters from Jenna and Kate (Tom's wife) in

 the past at Gozo and various other characters in the present. Each chapter 

is entitled with a name and time frame making this easy to follow. 

Guru or charlatan, wife or employee, friend or foe?

 A captivating gripping read to make you challenge everyone in the story.
