Not much is better than the mind blowing suspense of
anything written by this Author. I’m still wrapped up in
the final acts, while reviewing the entire scenario and
it’s so well crafted~just enough information and tidbits
are added leaving the reader to have to stop and breathe
as we try to think:What could possibly happen NOW!?!
Well, since no one told me, I’m not going to tell you, but
it’s SPECTACULAR !
My thanks to Boldwood Books via NetGalley for the
download copy,of,the book for review purposes.

I really enjoy Valerie Keogh's books. There are many twists and often surprise endings. This was no exception.
However, Cara Jenkins, the author, found it difficult to separate real life and fiction - I had the same problem at times.
I found Cara to be gullible, and far too trusting.
The "Him" in the book, held a grudge and blamed Cara for an awful long time, for 'ruining his life'. I personally found that was a bit weird.

A quick and entertaining read.

I just finished an engaging read. The Writer by Valerie Keogh kept me turning the pages until the very last one!

Another great read from Valerie Keogh! Took this one on my beach vacay and I’m so glad I did. Fantastic characters that made it impossible to know who to trust. Twists and turns from start to finish.
Thank you NetGalley, Valerie Keogh and Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read and review this book

Cara Jenkins is a successful author about to embark on her thirtieth novel. When she starts to write it an anonymous letter comes in the letterbox, at first she thinks nothing of it but then they start getting more and more frequent. She decides to write her new book on what is happening but reality and fiction seems to blur together for her. Cara soon believes someone is watching her and following her, is she imagining it or is it really happening.

Keogh is a remarkable talent, and when I was offered the chance to read an early copy of The Writer, I jumped at it.

This gripping novel follows Cara Jenkins, a best-selling author who finds herself paralysed with panic as she struggles to come up with an idea for her much-anticipated 30th book. The pressure mounts when her agent reveals that the publisher is planning a major celebration for its release, and her editor hopes the novel might earn an award nomination.

Just as the stress becomes overwhelming, Cara begins receiving anonymous, threatening letters. She turns to the only coping mechanism she knows—writing. But as she pours her fears onto the page, the line between fact and fiction begins to blur, leaving her (and the reader) unsure of what’s real and who can be trusted.

With its many twists and turns, The Writer keeps you guessing until the final, shocking—but entirely fitting—ending. A taut, clever thriller that showcases Keogh at the top of her game.

Valerie Keogh always knows how to tell a story. This book hot a little repetitive in some parts for me. But other than that was a perfect rainy day read. Characters spot on in real and fiction..I loved the ending but mo spoilers.

Thanks to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for an early release of this book
