But her life falls apart when the schoolboy dies from his injuries. The police believe Anna’s story, until the autopsy results reveal something more sinister.
A frenzied media attack sends Anna into a spiral of self-doubt. Her precarious mental state is further threatened when she receives a chilling message from someone claiming to be the ‘Ophelia Killer’, responsible for a series of murders twenty years ago.
Is Anna as innocent as she claims? And is murder forgivable, if committed to save your child’s life…
I am still yet to read Tracy Buchanan’s debut but I was
gripped by her book My Sister’s Secret last year so I wasted no time getting
stuck in to her new release No Turning Back.
The book gets off to a quick dramatic start when radio
presenter Anna is attacked by a teenager whist she was walking along the beach
with her baby daughter. She instinctively tries to protect her daughter and
herself but she never imagined that when she woke up the next morning her life
was about to crumble around her.
The boy had died……
What starts off as self-defence soon becomes doubtful when
the autopsy comes back which suggests something far more alarming.
The book races along and gradually reveals more twisted and
disturbing situations that all seem to have a link to Anna and with each
chapter I found myself getting increasingly tense and more suspicious of Anna
as well as two other characters. I couldn’t put this book down I was desperate
to find out who was the sick twisted person responsible.
The storyline alternates between Anna’s point of view and
also snippets of the killers actions which were chilling and sickening. Anna
isn’t a character I liked but for this particular book that wasn’t an issue as
her character contributed to the suspicious and wary feel that the storyline
has.
I love this authors writing style it draws you in from the
start and holds your attention the whole way through not letting your attention
waver in case you miss a clue. You will be suspicious of everyone. I haven’t
read a book in a long time that has kept me in complete suspense the whole way
through, but I had no idea what we would discover and when everything was
revealed I was genuinely in complete and utter shock! So if you’re looking for
a tense pacy read that will have your mind working overtime trying to solve the
mystery then you will not be disappointed with No Turning Back.
I would be happy to recommend this book to anyone looking
for an unpredictable, sinister and gripping read.
