BOOK BLURB
Charlie and Freya used to be the picture-perfect couple everyone in their idyllic village in the Cotswolds envied—and if you couldn’t be them, you wanted to be with them. Happy, healthy, forging successful careers, and with a beautiful son in tow, they had it all . . . until one night a tragedy tears their lives apart.
Unable to live with themselves, let alone each other, they’re looking for someone to blame and who they land on is each other.
Told from both Freya and Charlie’s perspectives, a cat and mouse game ensues, as each of them become determined to win-out against the other, both battling to emerge victorious and guilty-conscience-free. But can Freya stay one step ahead of the man who knows her best? Or will Charlie’s stoic conviction to get what he wants, be the death of her?
MY REVIEW
After a tragedy, a picture perfect married couple turn on one another.
Killing Me Softly is told using dual points of view of the husband and the wife. It is unclear which one is truthful about the events on the tragic evening, resulting in two unreliable narrators. The story stays tense, and gets darker as it progresses.
Fans of Sandie Jones’s other books are sure to enjoy this one too. Killing Me Softly is a slow-burning and twisted domestic thriller.
I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
