The Lover

Hallie is an assistant curator at the Moss Museum and her boss Rafe is intelligent, charming and attractive. He's also her ex, but he's been trying to win her back. One night, she agrees to go on a date with him, and they end up back at his house where she falls asleep beside him. When she wakes up in the morning though, Rafe is dead - he's been murdered while she slept and Hallie is the number one suspect.

This was jam packed with twists and turns and every interaction raised my suspicions - I was on edge the whole time! I didn't know if I should feel sorry for Hallie or feel scared of her, and I was second guessing every decision she made, as well as suspecting her friends and colleagues were somehow involved in Rafe's murder. This is written from Hallie's perspective, but it's interwoven with Police interviews and flashback scenes from Hallie's teenage years. The chapters are short and sharp which kept me turning the pages. I've lowered my overall rating just because I found it a bit confusing at the start, but once I got into it I was racing through to the end. Definitely one to check out if you're a thriller lover!
