What She Did-Carla Kovach- psychological thriller

Marissa lives in a flat and works as a financial adviser.  She still has nightmares

about what happened to her as a child. Alternate chapters take us back to

when she lived with her aunt and uncle just after her mother had died, both

who abused her. In the present,  she longs to live in the cottage where she

lived with her mother but sadly she cant afford it and has to put up with an

obstreperous neighbour who is noisy at all hours and goes out of his way

to make her life uncomfortable. One day she wakes up with scratches on

her arms and a bauble in her hand that she remembers from the past.

When she sees that there has been a stabbing at the cottage, she

wonders what she could have done in her sleep whilst sleepwalking.

It can't have been her can it? She meets a friend via the residents

association and through Glen finds some comfort. Her other friend

Jasmine is being very cagey about Ben- someone Marissa is

working with but Jasmine is warning her off him. When Marissa

seea the two of them having a row could there be more going on

and is it Ben who is sending Marissa strange notes and possibly

stalking her?

Oooh! This is one of those reads where you feel pleasantly

uncomfortable for the main protagonist. Did she or didn’t she? I

had a feeling that there was more going on but not quite what-

to me a sign of this being very cleverly written with a real skill of

deception - in a fiction writing way! A gripping, enticing novel brilliantly written. Highly enjoyed.
