I'm thrilled to be taking part in the blog blitz for Torment, by one of my favourite authors, Mark Tilbury. Mark is re-launching this fabulous book and it's got a shiny new cover, so to help spread the book love I'm sharing my review which was first posted, here on The Hippo last August.
Beth and David are a happily married couple
desperate for a baby. After having suffered three miscarriages they are
overjoyed to discover that Beth is eight weeks pregnant. Their happiness is
short lived, however, when they return home after a night out and discover that
someone has been in their home. Nothing has been taken but a wreath that Beth
recently placed on her sister's grave is hanging above the couples bed and a
knife has been stabbed into her pillow.
This is just the start of a series of strange happenings and, unnerved by these
experiences Beth turns to her friend Kim for support, but Kim has her own
problems to deal with in the form of her abusive boyfriend, Jonno. With David
out at work all day Beth asks Kim to move in, and it's as much for Kim's safety
as it is for Beth's sanity.
Despite having someone in the house with her Beth's stalker doesn't stop
with their ever increasing hateful campaign of terror. Who is it that seems to
hate Beth so much, what can she do to stop them and most importantly of all,
who can she trust?
Torment initially seems like a million
miles away from this author's previous novels, but fear not dear readers, Mark
is just doing what he does best and lulling you into a false sense of security
and it makes this one story that you won't forget in a hurry!
It's more of a 'slow-burner' but, oh my goodness, once that spark is lit,
things get hotter than Guy Fawkes' bum on the top of a bonfire! It will shred
your nerves, make your heart race and mess with your emotions, which is exactly
why I love this author's books so much. His books are always gripping right
from the start and I'm invariably guilty of reading them far too quickly, only
to regret reading the final word and Torment
is no exception. If you love a dark and twisted psychological thriller then
this book has to be in your collection.
