AS SICK AS OUR SECRETS

DIANE EZZARD

Author Diane Ezzard has come up with a brilliant crime thriller that had me completely fascinated. It’s so gripping and intriguing that you can’t afford to put down the book even for a minute. Awesome! The story is set in England.

Sophie Brown is a counselor and a former alcoholic who got over her problem after getting into the rehabilitation program with her friends, Joyce, Liam and Aaron. She’s attending the funeral of her client and good friend, Cassie, whose body was discovered at Townley Park in Burnley by a dog walker. Everyone suspects her abusive boyfriend, Charlie Darcy. She happens to meet Mia, one of Cassie’s friend from the salon. On her way home, she’s abducted by Charlie, who escaped from the police to prove his innocence. He shocks her with a stunning revelation on Cassie’s dirty secret. He claims that Cassie was a habitual liar and led a double life. What’s the dirty secret? Did it cost her life? She’s finding it hard to digest this revelation on her friend. She keeps her reservations on Cassie aside because Sophie has her own dirty secret.

She decides to help Charlie but some goons threaten her after vandalizing her place. Her life takes a downturn and she resumes her alcoholism. This is followed by her father Derek’s heart attack and altercation with her sister, Steph. Finally, she seeks the help of her friends Aaron, Liam, and Joyce who make her join Alcoholics Anonymous, where she meets Jack, a former handsome cop and shares a new bond with Mia. The latter wants to convey an important message to Sophie but dies in a car crash with her son, Alfie.

Something is terribly wrong. More bodies pile up as another suspect also dies. Who’s behind these questionable deaths? Can Sophie find out the truth and unmask the real culprit before it’s too late? This is an amazing thriller, full of twists and turns at the appropriate places. Hats off to the author. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and would certainly recommend it for the mystery lovers.
