He’s watching. She’s waiting.
The unmissable new thriller from Darren O’Sullivan, author of Our Little Secret and Close Your Eyes.
Having barely escaped the clutches of a serial killer, Claire Moore has struggled to rebuild her life. After her terrifying encounter with the man the media dubbed The Black-Out Killer, she became an overnight celebrity: a symbol of hope and survival in the face of pure evil. And then the killings stopped.
Now ten years have passed, and Claire remains traumatized by her brush with death. Though she has a loving and supportive family around her, what happened that night continues to haunt her still.
Just when things are starting to improve, there is a power cut; a house fire; another victim found killed in the same way as before.
The Black-Out Killer is back. And he’s coming for Claire…
I had trouble with some of the slow start of the novel. As well as the wording, due to the heavy and U.K. slang. That was my issue, I am very aware it would not be to most. Just so much going on in the book.
Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for an advance copy for my honest review.

Utterly brilliant! I honestly thought I had things pegged, but the final twist left me breathless. Darren O’Sullivan is proving himself time and again as an exceptional story teller.

Unfortunately I did not finish Closer Than You Think, I gave up around 30% of the way through. Literally nothing happens in the part of the story I read, Clare goes to the local shop and back and then travels to Ireland.

I'm left feeling disappointed the first part of a story should grip you not leave you bored.

Closer Than You Think is a good mystery thriller with a well written plot. It's actually a bit different from other books with a similar premise, so that's refreshing. I enjoyed the characters because they were likeable. Plenty of surprises and twists from beginning to end. Great read overall. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in in exchange for an honest review.

ooh another great thriller from this author! Didn't take me long to devour this book!!
Great twists, and turns. Wonderful characters that are likeable. Keeps you on your toes!!

Thanks to the publisher and net galley for an early release of this book

This is an absolutely engrossing book that has you gripped from the first page and with an original plot line it makes for a really excellent read. The black-out killer is back and he is coming for Claire !! So this is a psychological thriller that’s creepy and dark with a very nasty serial killer with plenty of twists, a great ending and written exceptionally well. The characters are believable and real making it a book not to be missed.
My thanks to NetGalley and HQ digital for giving me the chance to read the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
