Never believe in what they want you to believeUna storia piena di suspance, su cui non riuscivo a smettere di ragionare e che mi ha fatto pensare che, se mai sarò in grado di scrivere un thriller, vorrei che fosse così. E' vero che il colpevole si capisce già a metà libro e che ci sono alcune cos...

Mystery/thriller that's written in an interesting way, with "before" and "after" chapters alternating throughout. Almost like two stories going on at the same time, and well done, I thought. It is almost 100 pages in that you find out which of a small group of people has been murdered, altho you ...
I first saw a Nicci French book at the bookshop a few years back. I can’t remember which book it was. What I remember was that when I read the plot summary on the back cover, I found it quite gripping and I wanted to read the book. For some reason I didn’t get the book, but I made a mental note t...
Opening Line: “He knew he was going to die.”Killing Me Softly is a love story but not in the typical sense; it’s obsessive, all consuming, violent, intense, desperate and ultimately terrifying. And oh my god is it good. I literally could not put this down. If I could compare this book to anything...
Mid 2. Husband and wife team, Nicci Gerard and Sean French, offered a tantalising premise for their debut psychological thriller of an investigation into suppressed memories, and the reliability of ‘recovered memory’ techniques in treatment of those failing to deal with trauma. The discovery of t...
Hmm..really wanted to rate this book higher and love it more as I think the sexy husband and wife writing duo of Nicci French do an amazing job of building suspense, creating the tension and making you want to know what is going to happen next..however I felt the tension didnt meet the ending and...
As a former psychology student myself, I really appreciated the character of Kit. I appreciated her attitude that "different does not mean dangerous". In this world, people are often too quick to judge, and they fear the strange and unexpected. That's why, when Kit refused to cave in to police pr...
THE SAFE HOUSE by Nicci French started off strong with the discovery of the bodies of a wealthy husband and wife - Leo and Elizabeth MacKenzie. The couples daughter- Finn - is found upstairs away from the murders, suffering from a neck wound...but still alive.Dr Samantha Laschen is a specialist o...
I had to read this book for my English class, and that kind of ruins everything (it even made reading the Hobbit boring), but that aside, I didn't think this was a good book at all.The writing was fine. The editing was fine. The point of view was fine. Even the characters were okay. It was the pl...
No need to go into the 'plot ' really as so many have done so before, suffice to say that it is dificult to imagine getting annoyed and bored with a woman character whose daughter has gone missing - but Losing You managed this for me.The term comicbook heroine has been used before by other review...
