Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. This was a great book with lots of twists and turns.

A story full of twists and turns , with a dramatic ending. Nuala ignores her husband's instruction to never go to his home town, with unexpected consequences.
Unfortunately I didn't really warm to any of the characters, including Nuala, but I still kept reading to find out what happened.

When Nuala travels to where her recently deceased husband grew up and made her promise that she would never go there.

Alone 6 months later Nuala decided to ignore that and visit. After meeting his mother and her having no idea that her son was married there are many twists and turns as she discovers her husband is not who she thought he was

Wow! This book was a roller coaster ride. Gripping and twisty all the way through. Perfect read for anyone looking for an edge of your seat read.

Superb!! There thats it, joking but first things first this is a superb book.

A couple of unusual things, firstly one of the main characters, Maggie, is described in such a way as reminded me of someone I know....Maggie! This is the first time I have had this, where I ‘saw’ someone I know as a main character in a book and was different for me as a reader but it actually enhanced the book, I do hope ‘Maggie’ never reads this or indeed the book!
Secondly a lot of the book is set in a village in Somerset, this to me was fascinating as we lived ( me begrudgingly ) in Somerset for 6 years and when we first moved there we lived in a village called Queen Camel, so again I pictured Queen Camel as the village in the book.....

So, the book
WOW.... its dark, fascinating, disturbing, enthralling, shocking, tense and fabulous

It deals with, amongst other things, murder, obsession, lust, alcoholism, rape, incest, physical abuse and thats just the ones I can say without giving the game away!!!

Some chapters made me stop, think woahhhhhh and have to re read to make sure I had got it right

The writing is truly sublime and wonderfully descriptive without disengaging the reader and the characters so wonderfully portrayed in all their darkness ( and occasionally lightness!! )

The story flows from page 1 and the twist ( some dont like that word but tough there is a massive one ) is so good and so breath taking you will be in awe of the writers mind to create it!!

A wonderful, explicit, unforgettable book which will stay with you long long after you finish it

5 stars 10/10

A twisty thriller that goes into new territory - it's not your run of the mill thriller about a marriage gone wrong. A woman goes on a trail into her husband's past and well, it doesn't go well is an understatement. I can't say the characters were likeable and Nuala was too darned obsessed with finding things out than was good for her. It all got a bit too much for me but I had to read on to find out what she was going to discover. So, a mixed bag for me, but it does make you read even if you want to tell the characters to just think for a moment before they act. Wouldn't be a thriller then though would it? And to be fair if someone tells you not to do something, your instinct is often to do just the thing they're saying not to!

I enjoyed this thriller. It had plenty of twists in the plot. A solid storyline with strong characters.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Rebecca Tinnelly for the copy of this book. I agreed to give my unbiased opinion voluntarily.

Never go there the title screams at you and I really wanted to, and tried to go there to find out what it was all about, but I just couldn't get into this book. I hate giving up on a book a quarter of the through but I just found it a bit slow and so not for me.

I LOVED this. It was twisty as hell and more addictive than a pot of pringles – I rushed through it, hanging on to every word waiting to see what would happen.

You know I’ve been thinking that if characters read more psychological thrillers they’d have a much easier time of things because when their husband tells them to “Never go there” perhaps they wouldn’t then they wouldn’t end up in so much hot water. But luckily for us readers in this case, Nuala ignores that warning and in her grief at losing James she heads off to meet the family. What follows is an absolutely gripping page turner that disintegrates a marriage, messes with your perception of things and has a cracking finale that is incredibly shouty. By that I mean I shouted at it. No. What? Wait don’t do that…and well, you get the point.

The writing is brilliantly immersive and the characters are all cleverly drawn – I can’t say I particularly liked any of them, although occasionally had a pang of sympathy but this is a story of actions and consequences, in the end I believe they all had some kind of karmic comeuppance. It was a barnstormer of a story with some dark and emotive themes, highly engaging and really a most excellent read.

Highly Recommended – one to watch in 2018

Did not finish, there is only so much misery I can take. This book was full of it, and therefore I couldn't get interested in the secrets or so-called skeletons that were hidden in the past.
