Broken Flowers by Kate McQuaile is a dark, twisty tale that had me hooked from the very start. I was turning pages long into the night, desperate to untangle it all.

Nan has been invited to London to meet her son's fiance for the very first time. She is surprised by the invitation as her relationship with Ben has been strained for some time, although she is evasive as to the reason for this. Upon arriving in London, Nan is shocked to learn that she is to meet her son at Paradise Place, a home situated in a toney Notting Hill neighbourhood, and the very house in which Nan herself rented a room in the late 1970s. All at once, the past from which Nan has been so desperate to escape is once again forcing her into an acknowledgement of an unsettled history that simply refuses to be silenced. This is compulsive reading by any definition, and I loved every moment of it. Recommended.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quercus Books for this ARC.

Next time you see a grey haired, middle aged widow don’t always expect her to invisible and of no consequence. Nan is invited to the London wedding of her estranged son and her past, which she has tried to conceal, comes roaring back in this ‘I can’t believe it happened’ domestic thriller. All the evil in the world in one little corner of the world. Read every word with a sense of dread - what will happen next? Certainly not what I thought. Excellent!

Oooooh I loved Broken Flowers! It’s full of lies, tension and dark secrets.

Admittedly I had to suspend belief but the story is worth it! There was moments where I was just staring at the pages with my mouth hanging open. So many twists and shocks in here!

Would have preferred the ending to go the other way but this is a strong 4/5 book.

I received an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review

It doesn’t get more WTF did I just read than this. Throughout the entire book. WTF. Horrifying

An awesome read.
Who you trust the most? Your mother? Think again.
Nan is widowed and is going to her son's marriage but the place has more to do with her past. She has a past that no one knows. What is it? Read this amazing book to know more.
My favourite character was Of Nan. Others were good but as compared to Nan's character, they seem faded.
Narration of the story is good.

Perfect for psychological thriller fans.
Widowed Nan is on her way to her beloved son's wedding. She should be excited, but she is dreading her return to Paradise Place - a small area of Notting Hill that she hasn't dared set foot on for decades. Nan had arrived there as a young girl in the late seventies, desperate for freedom and a career as an artist. But, drawn into a dark obsession that spun out of control, Nan was forced to flee.
Crispy editing, awesome dialogues and a good plot made this story wonderful but some characters are boring and i didn't feel connected with them.
Thanks to NetGalley and Hachette UK for giving me an advanced copy of the book.
