I read BEHIND HER EYES by SARAH PINBOROUGH and…
It’s no secret that Sarah Pinborough is an author whose storytelling keeps on going from strength to strength; it’s a fact that she proves in her new novel which is, arguably, her best work to date. Behind Her Eyes is an accessible yet intricately woven thriller. It lays down the breadcrumbs of a plot which leads the reader down into such depths of intrigue and mystery that the idea of not following it to the end is absurd, and I don’t trust myself to write a full review of it.
I say this sincerely. I’m terrified I’ll ruin the story if I talk too much about this book, and there is a lot to talk about. Its hashtag is #WTFthatending, and WTF indeed! The books ends on a hammer blow but (and this is an important but) it simply would not work if Pinborough hadn’t steered us towards it with a deft hand. The intricacies and clues and mysteries build subtly to a powerful conclusion, which, I imagine, will ensure Behind Her Eyes will be among the top five thrillers of 2017. So go and buy a copy. You need this book.
