Last Night - Kerry Wilkinson
Last night is a standalone book
by one of my favourite authors Kerry Wilkinson.
About the book
Rose
Denton wakes up in her car. She has no memory of how she got there. But she
knows something bad happened…
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
Rose Denton is a married woman with a daughter Olivia. Her
marriage isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, with both of them Dan and Rose aware that
things are at a bit of a stalemate.
Rose as she wakes up to field
behind the wheel of her car. She has no recollection of how she got there or
even why she’s there. However, there’s blood on the window screen and bumper.
How did this get there, what has happened? Did she hit something / someone?
We follow Rose tries to piece
together what happened to her that day / night. How both Dan, her husband and her are polite
to each other, when in the same space. Her on off relationship with her
daughter Olivia and the frustration Olivia is dealing with due to her boyfriend
going missing. Rose feels alone and not
sure what to do, feeling like she wants to confide in someone about what
happened but not to sure who to trust.
We are treated to glimpses of the
background of Rose and through the narrator are drip fed snippets which you
have wondering where things are leading and I have to say all my guesses where (yeah
you guessed) wrong!!
All in all, I enjoyed this book
and would like to thank Kerry Wilkinson, the publishers Bookouture and
NetGalley for allowing me to read this ARC. This is my honest unbiased opinion
in return.
