I am a great fan of T.M. Logan having read Lies, The Holiday and I was equally thrilled with The Catch. I loved everything about this book - the story-line, the characters and all of the many twists and turns.

Abbie Collier is hopelessly in love with her boyfriend Ryan Wilson and the happy couple plan to marry. But there's a problem - Abbie's father, Ed, doesn't like the suave, sophisticated Ryan and suspects him of hiding something, although mother, Claire, supports her daughter's choice and thinks he's a good catch. Desperate to prevent Abbie from marrying the wrong man, Ed digs into Ryan's past and in doing so he alienates his wife and daughter. But maybe Ed has other reasons for mistrusting his future son-in-law.

I found Ed’s reactions natural and understandable as many people have misgivings when a lad sweeps their daughter off her feet and they then have to handle a wedding announcement. His unease is so strong that it turns into an unhealthy obsession in only a few pages. For me the author's skill lies in his gripping and powerful writing style. I was totally invested in this dad’s gut instincts and I loved following the snippets of clues, trying to spot the minutest detail that would prove Ed's fears were grounded. Claire's reactions to the happenings were pragmatic and practical restoring the equilibrium within the Collier family as far as possible.

Clever and compelling, T.M. Logan has written another belter of a novel. Totally addictive from start to finish The Catch is very highly recommended and it is another must-read from this brilliant author.

I received a complimentary copy of this novel, at my request, from Bonnier Books/ Zaffre via NetGalley and this review is my unbiased opinion.

I really loved it, I could not wait to get back to reading it. It was obvious what was going to happen, but it still made for a very exciting read. Thoroughly unputdownable thriller.
A possessive father, a can-do-no-wrong boyfriend, what can possibly go wrong.
The steps taken to uncover the plot, were very well planned and it must have taken a while to writ such a closely written story.
Definately well worth reading.

The Catch is a fast paced family based thriller that I read in a day as it was unputdownable.
Abbie brings Ryan home to her parents and announces they are to get married next month, the reason is because Abbie loves her grandmother dearly and knows she hasn’t long in the world. Ed, Abbie’s father is suspicious of Ryan from the start but is this fatherly love gone too far or is Ryan genuinely too good to be true in his smart suits, perfect hair and looks, army background and a uni degree as well as a good job. Nevertheless things move along and Ed is obsessed that Ryan is hiding something and delves into his past but struggles to find anything out of the ordinary so enlists the help of a private investigator.
This was a brilliant read, I loved “the holiday” and this lived up to my expectations as I hoped it would do. I would recommend wholeheartedly and can’t wait for the next book!!!
I would like to thank Netgalley and Bonnier Books UK, Zaffre for this ARC I received in exchange for an honest review.

PHEW. What a book.

Honestly, I found this a bit of a slow-starter and as someone who usually races through books in about 2 days, being only 60% of the way through a week in suggested that this book was not going to be the best.

BUT I'm glad I stuck with it as I devoured the last 40% in under an hour. Although somewhat predictable, the book still had a thrill and had my heart racing until the very last page.

A nice easy read (for a psychological thriller...).

Ed should be thrilled when his daughter, Abbie brings back her boyfriend, Ryan to meet him and his wife Claire, but he isn’t. In fact he takes an instant dislike to him and thinks something is very wrong. When Abbie and Ryan get engaged and marry a few weeks later Ed seemingly becomes obsessed with discrediting Ryan who is Mr Perfect. He is a decorated ex army officer, has a first class degree in psychology and has a high powered job. Ed starts following Ryan and employs a private detective to dig some dirt.
Abbie and Claire are furious and cannot understand Ed’s obsession. Is Ryan really who he seems, is Ed simply a jealous father who cannot bear to see his daughter growing up or is there some foundation to Ed’s worries?
A gripping book, very believable which will keep you on the edge of your seat. Loved it!

I read this ARC for an honest review
All thoughts and opinions are mine

This is a new author to me but WOW just WOW!
Loved this - full of suspense and completely unpredictable

A great Read
Highly recommended

If you have read any of T.M. Logan’s previous novels, you can be safe in assuming that this current book will be another page-turner. It most certainly is!

Doting father, Ed Collier takes an instant dislike to his daughter’s new boyfriend, Ryan Wilson. His wife Claire and mother-in-law Joyce don’t agree. As a former Army officer, successful businessman, special constable and retirement home volunteer, they think Ryan is the perfect partner for their beloved Abbie. So why are Ed’s instincts giving him such a strong warning about Ryan? When Abbie and Ryan announce that they are engaged and due to marry in a mere six weeks’ time, Ed takes it upon himself to investigate his future son-in-law and uncover Ryan's secrets, before it's too late . . .

As Ed becomes increasingly obsessed with Ryan, he puts his family, friendships and his career on the line. His life begins to spin out of control and combined with Ed’s guilt over a past event, I must admit that there were times when I doubted Ed’s credibility as a narrator. I  began to suspect that maybe the story was less about Ryan’s suitability and more about Ed approaching a midlife crisis! 

Logan really is a master of suspense. The book begins with a tantalising opening scene before plunging head first into a tense and compelling page-turner. It’s fast, it’s twisty, it's intense and it’s clever. The book explores the darker side of family relationships - love, loyalty, guilt and loss. Logan has a knack of being able to turn something completely normal into something terrible sinister and very unsettling.

The Catch, is a truly gripping domestic thriller that I would happily recommend to fans of psychological thrillers and domestic noir.

Thank you to Netgalley for my ARC of this book!

I was so excited to read this book, as have heard lots about it and is one of the authors I have been dying to read.
I'm not sure about this book, it was fast paced and addictive, however from the beginning it is fairly obvious what the storyline is and what is going to happen. With a good thriller, I like twists and turns and surprises but there wasnt any of this, it was set up as who it was from the beginning and nothing really made me gasp or think OMG I didnt see that coming.
I found Ed annoying and going to completely unrealistic lengths to find out anything about Ryan and was so obvious about it as well!

So for me, as a thriller this left me disappointed, which is why I'm only giving 3 stars, which has surprised even myself as I thought I would love this so much more!

TM Logan is such an amazing writer! The Catch has me questioning everything and everyone, not knowing who to trust! And sometimes I just wanted to yell at each and every one of the characters! This book is gripping and relatable and so twisty! I loved it! Definite 5 stars from me!

Thank you so much to Bonnier Books UK/Zaffre and NetGalley for allowing me the incredible privilege of reading this book in advance!

Yet another great book by T M Logan !! A book that will keep you guessing right until the end - is he good or is he bad ?!?

Abbey is getting married and her parents, Ed and Claire, are meeting her fiancé Ryan for the first time. Ed is a very protective father and although he sees how happy his daughter is he can’t help feeling that something is not quite right with Ryan. But is he right ? Or is he just being overly protective and no one is good enough for his daughter ?

Ed seems to become obsessed with Ryan and is convinced that there is something not right but the more he digs the more trouble he finds himself in. Both Claire and Abbey think Ryan is a lovely young man who can do no wrong and gradually a wedge starts to grow between Ed and his family. Is he right about Ryan or is it all in Ed’s head ?

This is a great is he / isn’t he book that will have you thinking Ryan is bad one minute and then completely innocent the next. What is the truth ? And is it Ed or Ryan that has hidden things from the family ? This one will have you hooked right to the final pages !!

Thank you to Bonnier Books UK and NetGalley for a digital copy of this book.

When Abbie met Ryan she was sure he was 'the one'. A few years older than her, handsome, successful & caring he was everything she could want. When she introduced him to her family she was sure they would agree. Her mother & grandmother are really taken with him but Ed just senses there is something 'off' about him. He can't put his finger on it, but is he just too good to be true? In light of her Grandmother's failing health they are planning to marry very soon.

Ed is horrified. He puts all his energy into trying to find out 'the truth'! Soon his whole life is consumed with internet searches, tracking devices & even a private investigator. Nothing could convince him that all was going to be well with Abbie's husband to be. He had a track record for scaring off unwanted suitors, but this was extreme even for him!I really like Ed, but I wanted to shake some sense into him!

This story had me glued to the page. It was a terrific no stop ride. Thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for letting me read & review this book.

Thank you for my ARC unfortunately due to events over the last few months I am struggling to concentrate on reading. I will be reading and reviewing this book on my blog at some point in the not to distant future

I am new to T.M. Logan as an author. This book was one which I sped through as I just wanted to KNOW! the ending when it came was not a surprise and yet the suspense was kept up throughout. It is the type of book which is fun to read once in a while but carries no great depth. A good psychological thriller.

I have very mixed views on this book - was it readable - yes it was - a very easy read and a page turner. However it was so far fetched - silly in places. I could not buy into the characters to be honest and I felt it was a little bit writing by numbers. Very average but I can see that it will be popular and an easy beach read. Sorry I did not like it more.

Another huge hit from this author. This is a fast paced thriller with plenty of twists and turns which kept me guessing from start to finish. Definitely one to read. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

A fast paced thriller with plenty of twists that kept me on the edge of my seat and left me wanting more!! I loved the short chapters and devoured this book in less than 48 hours.

I was more than happy with the ending (a lot of books recently have left me feeling a little flat and disappointed by their endings) and despite a few plot points that seemed a bit unrealistic and left you wondering how on earth that would have happened, I loved it!

Four and a half stars from me!

If like me you enjoyed TM Logan’s ‘The Holiday’ then I would definitely recommend you add this book to your wish list!

When Lucy brings her boyfriend, Ryan, home to meet her parents for the first time her father, Ed has a bad feeling about him. He appears to be perfect but when during the visit Ryan asks his permission to marry Lucy, Ed is not happy as he doesn’t trust Ryan and becomes obsessed with catching him out to the detriment of his job and relationships.
Overall, I found this book to be an enthralling read although I felt that the first half was a bit long and left me feeling frustrated with Ed’s overprotectiveness and paranoia.
Thanks to NetGalley for sending me a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow!! What a brilliant read! Although you kind of know what is going to happen you can't read fast enough to see if it will have a good outcome or not.

Your daughter brings home a new boyfriend and immediately the hair on the back of your neck rises. You just know he is bad news. How do you deal with this? This is the dilemma Ed must deal with. To make it worse they announce that they are getting married. Will he be able to make Abby see that Ryan is not right for her in time and how far will he go to prove this?

A brilliant and cleverly written story that kept me entertained from beginning to end. You can feel Ed's desperation the more his life falls apart around him. I also found the switch in narrators at the end very interesting and will definitely read more books by this author.

Thank you to Netgalley, Bonnier Books UK and Zaffre Books for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Oh this was so good, it really took you on a journey and pulled at which side you were on!

Abbie has just announced her engagement to Ryan, a handsome, successful man who appears to clearly adore her.

Abbie's mum is over the moon, Abbie's dad, Ed is less over joyed. He can't put his finger on it, but there is something about Ryan, he gets this weird vibe from him. He had a weird vibe about something in the past and didn't act on that and it led to a heart breaking situation.

Ed goes to crazy lengths to expose Ryan, even though he's not sure what he's trying to expose. His actions put a strain on his job, his marriage and his relationship with Abbie. He can't ignore his gut instinct, but Ryan is the model son-in-law.

Is Ed delusional?
Is Ryan just too smart and can play Ed at his own game?

Either way - we know due to the prologue that a body is buried...

LOVED this book, couldn't put it down. Read it in a day.

Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to review this book, This is my honest opinion.

This is a fantastic book from T. M. Logan; one I'd been looking forward to reading for a long time and one that definitely didn't disappoint!

Ed Collier is meeting the boyfriend of his treasured daughter Abbie for the first time when he gets the feeling that this man is not what he seems. But to everyone else, Ryan seems perfect. A rising career, model looks, a volunteer with the police and hospice, an ex-soldier and Manchester University graduate, he has everything. Ed convinces himself that Ryan is too good to be true.

Protective of his only daughter, Ed is shocked when the couple announce their surprise engagement with a wedding date just 6 weeks away! Unable to accept this man as his future son-in-law, Ed quickly becomes obsessed with proving that there's something wrong with Ryan. And as time runs out before the imminent wedding, Ed's obsession starts to take over his life as he desperately tries to find the dirt on Ryan before it's too late.

This is a really well written book and swings really well from making the reader as suspicious as Ed and then back to doubting Ed's opinion and state of mind. As his obsession grows, it's unsettling to see just how far Ed is willing to go to keep his daughter safe.

The Catch is really well written with fantastic, well-paced character development that had me doubting myself time and time again. There is also a range of "background characters" who add further intrigue and doubt to Ed's story.

I struggled to put this one down! Fairly short chapters with accounts from the different characters always make for an addictive read and this was done really well in The Catch. About 75% through this book, it really kicks up a gear and even at 98% I didn't know how it would end!

Very enjoyable and very highly recommended from me! If you enjoyed The Holiday, I strongly recommend you go out and buy/borrow The Catch ASAP... you won't be disappointed!

Thank you to T. M. Logan, NetGalley and Bonnier Books UK for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
