My Best Friends Secret

 


My Best Friend's Secret by Danielle Ramsay- psychological thriller

Claudia’s life is falling apart. Her best friend has just committed suicide and she thinks her husband is having an affair. To make things worse, the last messages she sent to Jaz, her friend, were said when she was drunk and angry. So angry that she deleted all messages to and from Jaz on her phone and even some pictures of them together. On going out with a group of her friends she finds one seems to know something about Jaz’s suicide but won’t say what and its as if she is blaming Claudia. When Claudia drinks too much and later finds herself not in her own bed, things are going from bad to worse. It appears that everyone around her is suddenly getting at her and those she thought were her friends are falling like leaves from a tree. What is going on and who is targeting her?

This is a book where the tension begins right at the start and ramps up from then on with Claudia’s tumultuous life. Did I like Claudia? I wasn't really sure early on but her spiralling predicament grew on me and heck, I wanted to find out what on earth was happening. When you think your life couldn't get any worse…Oh boy! A read that left me reeling where there are more turns than in a maze and threads that wound and wound. A very clever premise, brilliantly executed and one I found a real page turner. Wow!
