One Last Secret -Adele Parks-psychological thriller
Teodora, known as Dora to her friend and since her name change by her own admission is a high class sex worker. Her close friend Evan, whom she has never had sex with, has many times offered her a life more like his if she wants it however Dora likes her independence. He is a trust fund baby and works for his fathers company, or at least allegedly so as he spends more time doing what he wants to than working. When Dora is attacked, Evan has a proposition for her, however Daniel who was one of her regular clients also has one- to spend a week posing as his girlfriend at a chateau for a celebration. She thinks it can do no harm as Evan is away. When they arrive the guests are rather strange and without knowing she is being paid have an aversion to Dora and at times she has no memory of things happening. She tries to leave twice to no avail as each time her plans are thwarted. What is going on and can she escape?
I quickly got into this- it has that Adele Parks skill of tension and of something not being quite right. I liked Dora as she came across as an honest tenacious person. Despite her trade (which is explained how she got there- I won’t spoil anything) she was doing her best in life and having seen the seedier side of things could rationalise things better than most. An interesting read with lots of twists towards the end- just how I like it. A brilliant entertaining read.
