Fantasy. Fiction. Literature. Mystery. HTML:The brand new thriller from Diana Wilkinson, author of 4 Riverside Close

I'm not being paranoid. It's all there in the crossword clues...in black and white. There's no doubt the threat is real. Today, the answers spell out my murder.
/> May Third. Amanda. Silver Birch. Noontime. Assassination.

Is Nathan, my estranged crossword-setter husband, really planning to kill me? Or is it someone closer to home?
I check the door is bolted, slither to the ground, and count down the seconds to noon. There's nothing left to do, and no one I can call. Who'd believe me anyway? The lady on the ground floor has already left the building, and my new boyfriend is on holiday. Or is he?
A tread of footsteps. A rap at the door, and I close my eyes, hold my breath...
A smart and unsettling psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Shari Lapena and Claire Douglas
'A fast paced, edge of the seat thriller that's extremely well executed. I was gripped from the very first page!' L H Stacey
'Wilkinson delivers with this gripping and original thriller' Keri Beevis
'...this didn't disappoint. Clues upon clues upon clues kept me glued to the story. What a very clever book ... not a read for the faint-hearted!' Valerie Keogh
'With a unique plot and superb writing, Ms Wilkinson has nailed this one! I'd give it 10 stars if I could.' J A Baker

It gives you an entirely new outlook on crossword puzzles, that's for sure. Completing the crossword puzzle is a part of Amanda’s daily routine, a thing she does to distract herself. When she starts to see clues that are meant for her, anxiety and need for alcohol increases. She wonders if it could be Is her ex-husband sending a message to her through the clues. Afterall, he blames her for a horrible accident. Whoever it is, they mean to cause her paranoia or even worse, death. I was intrigued by this story. Amanda is an interesting character and evoked a few emotions. She’s tragic, vulnerable, frustrating and relatable all at once. She’s an interesting case study for addiction and the hold it can take on a person. One moment, I wanted to hug her and the next, I wanted to shake some good old common sense into her. She certainly didn’t always make good life choices. She didn’t however, deserve to have the experiences she was having. Nathan...the ex-husband, liked to think he’s strong but, like Amanda, he battles insecurities and addiction also. They just manifest differently. There was definitely a narcissistic streak in him and kept you wondering if he was a good guy or a bad guy. In fact, Diane Wilkinson plants seeds of doubt all the way through and at one point you just give up and suspect everyone...everyone except that is except Teddy. The story is told mainly from the point of view of Amanda and Nathan and the plot is certainly unique and develops well. I was well and truly hooked. To sum it up the book is a compelling, dark, twisted, clever psychological thriller about addiction and revenge. If you like puzzles or are looking for a gripping read, this book is absolutely perfect. ( )
