Today I’m joining the blog tour for My Word Against His. My post is written with thanks to the team at Bookouture for inviting me on the tour and for the copy of the book.

Blurb:

My future hangs in the balance. They’re questioning both of us and every word I say matters. I need to be careful – it’s my word against his, and I can’t afford to lose…

Thirteen years ago. Teenager Lucie babysits our little son Henry. She’s like the daughter I never had. And she believes we’re the perfect family – just me, my husband and Henry.

But Lucie doesn’t really know what’s happening behind closed doors. Until one night, she sees something so awful she leaves. And my family is never the same again…

Now, Lucie has reached out, desperate for my help. It’s been thirteen years of silence, but I would recognise her voice anywhere. She’s back: and so are the secrets she took with her.

What did she see that night? And does she know my side of the story, or only his?

I hope she knows what she’s doing. Because there is no line I won’t cross to protect the ones I love – or the secrets I’ve worked so hard to hide…

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller where no one is who they seem, that will make your heart pound and your jaw drop! Perfect for fans of addictive page-turners like The Housemaid, The Family Across the Street and The Family Upstairs.

Review:

It’s going to be really hard to write about My Word Against His without spoilers. It’s so cleverly plotted and there are so many twists and turns that I was completely gripped from beginning to end, wanting to know what would happen next. 

I love an unreliable narrator and in Celia, Sam and Lucie, we have three! Celia definitely has secrets I’m sure she’d rather we didn’t find out, Sam has a history of criminal behaviour and Lucie isn’t sure if she remembered everything the way it actually happened. But hearing from the perspective of each one helped me to piece the story together and try and make my own guesses about what had happened. Not everyone is likeable and the atmosphere is often uncomfortable but the characters are well rounded and I felt involved in their lives. 

I finished My Word Against His with a lot to think about.

My Word Against His is available from Amazon.
