I take a deep breath before I utter the words I’m terrified to speak out loud. My therapist waits, but nothing could prepare her for what I say next. ‘I think I killed my best friend…’

Three years ago, Alice and I went away for a fun weekend with our big group of friends. But at the end of the trip, police cars flooded the house where we were staying. Alice had been found. Dead. And no one knew what happened to her.

I’ve tried to remember the lost hours before her death, but only snapshots appear in my mind – Alice’s silk scarf, given to her by a secret boyfriend, the silly argument we had when she refused to tell me, and her relationship with Tom, the man who would later become my own husband…

Now, as I talk to my therapist, my heart pounds in my chest. Because I’ve had a breakthrough. And I start to remember that I was there when Alice took her last breath. I was standing over her… could I be her killer?

As my therapist begins to question all our friends, one thing becomes clear – we all have a different version of events. I’m certain someone close to me is keeping a deadly secret. How can I believe anyone around me, when I can’t even trust myself?

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller, perfect for fans of The Housemaid, The Perfect Marriage and The Silent Patient. Prepare to stay up all night to find out what really happened to Alice!

The Guilty Patient 

Written By Luana Lewis

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Review 


First, I want to thank Luana Lewis, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing this book so I can bring you this review. 


Luana Lewis brings us readers a different kind of psychological thriller that I am used to in her latest The Guilty Patient. Where one of the main characters point blank confesses killing someone hiding nothing. 


I loved how Luana made her prologue stand out with vivid descriptive details of the events that had been seen. This hooked me into the story wanting to know what happened to the poor girl. 


What I found interesting is Mia confessed to killing her only friend and best friend Alice but WHY?!!! When readers find out why it’s a shocker!!!! 


Through the story we learn a little more about Mia’s past

My daughter was murdered by my husband. Now I have a new little girl to look after. I have no idea who she is.

 

It’s been five years since my daughter was killed. It still hurts every day. I’ll never be over it but I am finally moving on with my life.

 

It’s pitch black when I wake up. I hear a child screaming outside. There’s a little girl is in my back yard. She can’t be older than five. She has terrified blue eyes.

 

Somebody has left her here.

 

When nobody claims her, I take her in. After all, I’m a professional foster parent. I will look after her like she’s my own child.

 

But she won’t even tell me her name. I have no idea who I’ve brought into my house.

It’s her first trip away. But she never came home…

The old camping bus pulls up outside my house in the middle of the night. Rain is pounding against the windows, thunder rattling, but I’d recognize the sound of the engine anywhere.

Confusion races through me. My daughter 
Willow and her best friend must be back early from their trip. I jump up and rush to meet them.

But when I pull open the door, it’s not Willow on the doorstep. It’s a man, holding her keys. Blood roars in my ears as he explains he was hired anonymously to drive it back.

My heart is pounding. I don’t understand. 
Where is my daughter?

I push past him and run out into the rain, wrenching the door of the bus open. It’s empty. The girls are gone.

And in the back, there are signs of a struggle. Clumps of Willow’s hair on the floor. Their belongings trashed. I stop breathing.

Where are they? What’s happened to my daughter? And churning in my stomach is the most terrifying question of all: What will it take to get her back?

A jaw-dropping, unputdownable psychological thriller packed with twists that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of Shari Lapena, Lisa Jewell and Lucy Clarke’s One of the Girls.

My Missing Daughter
Written By Ellery Kane 
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Review

First, I want to thank Ellery Kane, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 


Ellery Kane your latest My Missing Daughter is your best written book to date-and I have been a fan for years! Your storyline was brilliantly crafted creatively outside of the box and I totally loved that! This book reads like one of those true crime documentaries like you see on Netflix. I am going to go one step further and say that out of the 102 books I have read this year this book is in my top 5. 


Ellery made me very happy seeing that she placed most of her book in Niagara Falls, NY and mentioned Buffalo, NY multiple times. I live in Buffalo, NY and rarely do I see non local authors place their characters in my hometown. Thank you for that! 


Clear your schedule for the day because once you start reading you will not want to stop! This is an addicting fast paced read that you will need to know what ever happened to Willow!! 


I loved how this book was about two best friends who wrote a book together about a trip and then set out on that trip together. However, one best friend doesn’t come back. This is a missing person case that is so unreal that it could be ripped from the headlines. I loved how Ellery brings the social media instagram aspect into the storyline and we get to see the banter back and forth between the characters. There were a lot of twists, turns, secrets, shocking revelations, and even a taboo storyline. 


When I read who Ellery drew her inspiration from, the book made perfect sense. I love how she put her own special twist on it though. 


This is a definite must read put this at the top of your TBR pile!
