FINDERS KEEPERS by SABINE DURRANT
You can always rely on Sabine Durrant to create an un-put-downable novel. And, seeing as though it seems ages since she last wrote one, this was a real treat to receive. As usual, this is Sabine at her best: Brilliant characters, great plot and an intrigue that is weaved throughout the whole novel, keeping you turning the pages until the very end. Verity Ann Baxter is one of Sabine Durrant's best ever unreliable narrators - so cleverly done. I loved the setting and the contrast between Verity and her nouveaux-riche neighbours who give their house a facelift and the conflict that arises instantly when they moved in! Everyone in this brilliant story is hiding secrets, but the biggest secret of all is the one that will have you flipping pages like a crazy person until you reach the end. Oh, and that ending, all I will say is, well it's very haunting indeed.
This is a brilliant, convincing, well-plotted and thought-out thriller, with Sabine's usual skill at drawing characters that seem so real! Verity Ann Baxter is unforgettable - one of the most convincing characters Sabine's written (other than in 'Lie with me').
Sad to have finished it! Thoroughly recommend!
