Trust Me – Book Review

Emily and Jake are the perfect couple. Or so everyone says. But Emily just read a letter that has shattered her perfect world. Now she only has one thing on her mind… which one of her friends is sleeping with her husband?

Emily watches Jake as he makes small talk with their children, still the perfect man she married years ago. But when the phone rings and he answers before quickly putting it down again, she sees the look on her husband’s face – guilt. She knows the signs – after all, she’s been lying to him for years.

Working with Jake at the local doctor’s surgery, Emily starts to listen at closed doors and read things she shouldn’t, hoping to find the truth about her husband. Soon she learns that hers isn’t the only family telling lies to each other. Is there anyone Emily can trust? And who is behind the letter to Jake?

When a second letter, revealing a wife’s hidden pregnancy, is sent to the woman’s husband, it has disastrous consequences. And as more angry letters revealing people’s biggest secrets begin to appear, fingers point at Emily. After all, she’s the one with access to everyone’s private history, and she’s the one with a score to settle. Emily says she didn’t do it. But this isn’t the first time Emily has lied. What happens next will have you questioning everything…

You might have already decided that Emily is guilty, but as each twist is revealed, you’ll begin to doubt everyone in this quiet little town. This is a psychological thriller that will keep you up all night!

Thank You Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC of the book! This review is based on my honest opinion.

Emily and Jake Meridian are perfect couple in everyone eyes in the village. But Emily has a secret as she blames herself for the death of her twin sister Kara. And then one day, Emily gets an unknown email, claiming that Jake is having an affair…

This is the second book I have read from this author, the first book The New Girlfriend was really good so I was looking forward to read this one. This was good–the story was a bit fast paced, there’s some sort of thrill going on in the story and we are actually wondering as a reader what Emily’s secret is.. The series of letters that are received afterwards causing rifts between the other families as well as causing havoc in Emily’s marriage with Jake so we are wondering who is sending these letters. There are suspects as well so as a reader we could guess. The ending was however unexpected, though I thought it was a bit lame in my opinion.

Overall it was a good thriller, though not gripping and sort of thriller that will keep you on the edge of the seat…worth three stars!
