The Holiday by John Nicholl

 

The Holiday by John Nicholl- psychological thriller

Suzie and her husband George are off to Tenerife on holiday. George is the good looking loud brash sort rather different to quiet introverted, religious, modest Suzie. Suzie has won a large amount of money but due to George’s gambling and debts won’t let him get his hands on the money for fear he may lose it all. Suzie has had a couple of miscarriages and George, who really doesn't want a family, doesn't understand her pain or why he can't get his hands on the money. He complains bitterly about pretty much everything. When Suzie chats to a woman who was on the same plane, she thinks Amelia may know George as he has also been known to more than flirt with other women even whilst married. Can the couple work things out when they are poles apart and who is Amelia really?

This is another brilliantly written piece of work, and one that very much kept me turning for “ just another chapter”. Had real life not got in the way, I would happily have read this in one sitting. It's clever, it's adeptly planned and crafted. One where I didn't like any of the characters for various reasons, each at opposite ends of varying spectrums. There are twists and turns and red herrings skilfully interpolated. A thoroughly enjoyable read I raced through. Loved it.
