A woman haunted by her past and a killer who won't let her forget.
‘A long, long time ago, you did a bad, bad thing, Now it’s time to pay...’
When I first found the note, I assumed it was a prank.
But then I am lured to a house where I witness a gruesome murder, and I realise the threat is real.
But who is tormenting me though, and why?
Noah Keen, my boyfriend, is determined to get to the bottom of things, and soon other familiar faces appear from my past. Ones who are connected to a tragic accident that happened when we were teenagers. They too have received similar notes.
Someone knows the truth about what really happened that night in Norfolk.
Someone believes we were responsible and they will not stop until every one of us has been punished.
The perfect read for fans of authors like Clare Mackintosh, Cara Hunter, and Paula Hawkins.
My Review
Author Keri Beevis, the queen of chilling suspense, returns following The Boathouse (5 stars) with her latest republished psychological thriller, TRUST NO ONE —when the past and present collide and dark secrets are unraveled in this creepy, dangerous game of fire, revenge and obsession.
With Beevis's signature style, a Prologue starts with a creepy, evil psycho voice setting a fire and ends with a twisted, sinister Epilogue.
In the present, Olivia receives a note:
"A long, long time ago, you did a bad, bad thing; now it’s time to pay. Everyone's past catches up with them eventually, including yours. Soon."
At first, she thinks it is a prank, UNTIL ...
It is the Christmas season, and Olivia Blake is a real estate agent with Dandridge & Son. She is lured to a rundown house in the middle of nowhere for a viewing.
There is a gruesome murder. Someone is torturing and threatening her. The creepy music is also playing, 'It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.'
DC Upton is called in. She is unsure if the detective believes her. There is Molly, Olivia's lodger, her brother, Jamie, and Olivia's boyfriend, Noah.
Who can she trust?
Who is taking revenge for a death that occurred more than a decade ago, and what is the connection? Why are they being targeted?
Then, soon, she realizes someone knows about her past—there was a tragic accident when she was a teen with some other schoolmates. They also have received disturbing notes. Things turn DEADLY.
Someone knows what happened that night in Norfolk. The perpetrator thinks they are responsible and will punish all of them individually.
As they dig deeper, secrets come to light among the friends Gary, Howard, Janice, and Fern, who can be trusted, including each other. Someone is determined, crazy, and dangerous. They are being murdered one by one.
It is the anniversary of Margaret's death, and time is running out for Olivia.
As always, the author teases you in the Prologue and offers a wicked evil twist in the Epilogue. A fast-paced, sinister, twisty, creepy story that keeps you guessing who to trust in this dangerous game of cat and mouse. A fitting title!
I highly recommend the author's books if you have not read them.
Thanks to Boldwood Books for a gifted ARC via NetGalley for an honest opinion. I also purchased the audiobook narrated by Billie Fulford-Brown. (Dreamscape Media).
