About this deal

This is a perfect holiday read with a plot that is easy to follow yet testing enough to deliver many surprises. Tom Wade, the now infamous man behind Soul Shrink Retreats, has just been released from prison after serving his sentence for the deaths of two people. I think to enjoy this story one hundred per cent you have to realise it's fiction so it doesn’t have to be believable! The pace in the first half is good and a number of unsettling events occur, there’s a lot of suspicion in the Welsh retreat and a good puzzle to unlock.

Thanks to the pressure and guilt tripping of her miserable parents who lost rest of their sanities after sudden disappearance of their young daughter, Fran attends to the same retreat because the same health guru couple Tom and Kate reopen the place after Tom has been set free from two years long prison time. I wasn't surprised by what happened to Jenna, but I didn't predict which people were involved and what their motives were. Tom’s wife Kate is determined to get their careers back on track so must ensure that this Soul Shrink retreat is a success - whatever it takes.The man behind the retreats, Tom Wade was recently released from prison after serving his sentence for the deaths of two people. did I tell you there were so many spooky supporting characters in this book act like innocent but keeping their own secret agendas to themselves? As we do not find out the circumstances of what actually happened until later in the book, I found myself warming to Tom although was constantly on my guard, looking for clues as to what it was that he was actually hiding. Thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I recommend this story, especially to those who like discovering family secrets from years ago and complicated family relations. While I did eventually worked out how it would play out, it was still shocking and the explanation took me completely by surprise. Taylor is the six times Sunday Times bestselling author of seven gripping stand-alone psychological thrillers: THE ACCIDENT, THE LIE, THE MISSING, THE ESCAPE, THE FEAR, SLEEP and STRANGERS. Why would a mother send her other daughter, actually why would said daughter agree, to go to a retreat where her sister Jenna was possibly murdered?I do love unreliable and unlikeable characters, but for some reason I didn’t particularly enjoy any of these characters or felt a connection towards any of them. Kate is Tom’s wife, a pushy woman who has stood by him throughout his time in prison and feels that he owes it to her to continue with his work. Firstly, that Tom would have been allowed to restart his business after two people died and a third disappeared at his last retreat. Another excellent gripping novel that will have you racing through the pages to find out what is going to happen.
