Thanks Netgalley for my copy.

This was okay but just far too slow. And then the ending annoyed me. I saw some of it coming, that wasn't this issue. My main issue is the main character's reaction to what they found out. It just made them seem even more pathetic than she did before and she was already a bit of a loser already. Not impressed.

This was such a well written book I love the writing style and how the story pulled you in from the start and didn’t let go until the very end. It was full of drama throughout. What a final twist I really didn’t see that coming. Highly recommend this excellent thriller to everyone. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my advanced copy of this book.

A son needs his mother. How far would you go to protect him? Bribery &blackmail. Lies, doubt and pushed to extremes. Another absolutely gripping thriller from Karen Cole!

Perfect for those who enjoy:

This is a great book. Very well put together. The storyline is told very well and I was hooked until the very end.
Highly recommended.

A well written book once I had got into the storyline which flowed well, I enjoyed it overall and I didn't see the twist coming at the end.

Thank you to Netgalley and Quercus Books for this ARC.

What a thrilling read. Karem Cole is one of my favourite authors. This book certainly did not disappoint

Thank you Quercus and Netgalley for the opportunity to review

Solid 4 stars for me

Ever since Herman Koch's The Dinner was published in 2012, there's been a plethora of books about how far parents will go to protect their offspring if they've done something bad. What She Did is the latest of these.

Emma is a single parent living in Cyprus. She lives with her two teenage children and teaches at the English Academy. She is also having ab affair with one of the other teachers.. One evening her son Jack phones her in a panic. He's woken up beside his dead girlfriend and doesn't know whether he killed her or not. Emma soon discovers just what she will do to help cover this up.

I found this to be a morally ambivalent book. The Dinner at least provided interesting debate about what you should do in such a situation. Here we have a protagonist wracked with guilt who knows what she has done is wrong and who agonises about it over and over and over yet who is unable to do anything to right the situation.

On the positive side there is a plot twist which I didn't see coming but in a sense it makes Emma's subsequent actions even less understandable. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

How far would you go to protect your son?
Fabulous suspenseful read which i was gripped by from the start.
I read far to quickly!
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.
