“The Couple in the Picture” by Helen Cooper – Book Review

That is my third Helen Cooper thriller. As I liked the primary two, I anticipated quite a bit from this one, and I can say with confidence that it did not let me down. It was good!

The story entails two younger {couples} who dwell in Leicester, England. Lucy and Adam – Cora and Scott. All of them have jobs outdoors the house and each {couples} have two younger kids. They’re very shut buddies and so they socialize quite a bit collectively – they even purchased a summer time cottage collectively in Norfolk.

When Lucy, a trainer, sees her colleague’s trip pictures, she is shocked to acknowledge Scot, her shut good friend, on the seashore within the Maldives with a lady who’s NOT Cora. She may be very upset about this as she does not wish to jeopardize her good friend’s marriage by saying something. Nonetheless, she’s torn with the will to be trustworthy with Cora… When the girl within the photograph she noticed goes lacking, issues begin to escalate… Surprisingly, her colleague does not appear to wish to acknowledge that the girl within the photograph is similar girl who disappeared. For what?

“…she felt a surge of resentment that Scott’s secrets and techniques have been spawning her personal, like poisonous bits that break off and take root the place they landed.”

It’s a novel of secrets and techniques. Secrets and techniques that may poison and taint all who know them. It exemplifies the data that an individual can by no means absolutely know another person. How even deep belief can erode beneath the proper circumstances.

Sure, there are a twist or two that may fulfill followers of the style.

Extremely, extremely advisable to readers who get pleasure from well plotted thrillers.
