Never Forgive You is listed as a suspense thriller and it certainly is, but it’s much more than that. The author has assembled quite a large group of characters in her French setting and also uses two different points of view to tell her story – devices which can be quite challenging when trying to hold the reader’s attention. In this instance, they not only work admirably but, in my opinion, enhance the tension as we see events through two differing interpretations.
It’s a story of murder and revenge, served stone cold, and is teased out with nail-biting anticipation. or sent me off in a different direction before the whole thing was brought to a I believed I had pinpointed the perpetrator early on but a clever little nudge from the auth satisfying conclusion.
This is the second book I have read by Hilly Barmby and will definitely be seeking out more.
