About the Book
There’s blood on the windscreen and bonnet – but it’s not hers and there’s no sign of anything or anyone she might have hit. The last thing she remembers is being in a hotel on a business trip but now she’s miles away.
Back home and her daughter’s boyfriend is missing. The last thing he did was argue with Rose over money. He left no note, no text, no clue as to his whereabouts.
The police have questions – and so does Rose’s family. But those are little compared to the ones she has for herself.
What happened last night? And, perhaps more importantly, does she really want to know the answer?
A totally addictive psychological thriller which will keep you turning the pages until the final dramatic twist.
My Review
Last Night is my first Kerry Wilkinson book and it looks like I have even more to add to my TBR list. A standalone psychological thriller that kept me up late reading because I couldn’t put it down.
The opening was BAM IN YO’ FACE… with main character Rose waking up with blood all over her car and struggling to remember what has happened. Totally hooked me right off the bat!
The plot has many layers with lots of things to think about while reading. What happened to Rose before she woke up with blood in her car? What happened to Tyler? What happened to Rose and her friends when they were younger? And don’t forget her failing relationship with her husband, her strained relationship with her daughter, her poor job performance… The author was able to make all this work without coming across as overly complex. The balance was perfect and made for a very interesting, page-turning read.
I felt bad for Rose who was pretty sure (as was I) that she was being set up but by who and why? It is funny how our minds begin to work when we are unsure if we have done something wrong. Rose starts to act guilty…sneaking around the cops and doing Google searches on topics that would more than likely incriminate her if she was investigated. I was very impressed with the author’s ability to floor me with a twisty surprise at the end of almost every chapter. Not to mention the ending!!
I had my list of possibilities of what was happening and once again I was WRONG!! Oh well, I like books with a major WTH?? at the end and Last Night by Kerry Wilkinson did just that!
I highly recommend to those who love twisting and turning psychological thrillers. Kerry Wilkinson is another name to add to my favorite author list.
