And one terrible night, he got rid of my brother forever… Rose’s story is told through the past and present and we learn of “The Mistake” she made and the guilt she carries.

The Girlfriend: An utterly unputdownable psychological

Now, sixteen years after Billy's death, Rose is living a quiet, mundane, not-so-happy life. She has little fun and no friends - except for her elderly, next-door-neighbor Ronnie.Kim is the number one bestselling author of sixteen psychological crime thrillers. She has sold over two million copies of her books worldwide. She has also written four Carnegie-nominated Young Adult novels as Kim Slater for Macmillan Children’s Books. Kim has an MA in Creative Writing and lives with her husband in a small Nottinghamshire village. It is set over multiple time lines. When books show what has happened in the past and what is happening in the present I find it really helps the reader (if it is well done) understand why things are happening and what has lead to the present activities and decisions. It also shows the bigger picture.

Josie immediately suspects Samuel, who has just been released from prison after being charged with killing Josie’s brother 25 years before. Global bestselling author Philippa is married to Flo and appears a manuscript has suddenly reappeared. A secret book? Where did it come from? The 10th in the series will be published even though the author is MIA. She wrote her first book in the series at age 41 and is now a vast success nine books later. I was gifted this advance copy by K.L. Slater, Bookouture and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.

Samuel had been obsessed with Josie…always watching from afar, and didn’t like sharing her with her little brother. I really enjoyed this psychological thriller from beginning to end. It definitely keeps you guessing and wanting more!
