This was a real edge of your seat thriller, with so many twists and turns, you wont know which way is up! Fantastic and gripping read!

I received a digital arc of this from netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I've loved Kerry's books before so was really looking forward to this one. It did not disappoint! Thrilling book which switches from 'then' and 'now' in the narrative to give the reader a full insight into what happened and why. I couldn't put it down and just wanted to find out more - was David really dead or did he somehow survive? Who was the man in the photo? Things begin to happen that leave Morgan questioning what she knows happened in the past. I did guess the outcome and reasoning but that didn't lessen the impact of the plot and I couldn't read those last few chapters quickly enough. One of my favourite authors and I'll definitely read more by him!

Absolutely brilliant and gripping with a fabulous end. I didn’t want it to end . I loved all the characters

Fabulous plot which I could not put down. Brilliant characters, and twists and turns. Highly recommend to other fans of this genre!!

This book had an interesting premise.
I felt that the execution wasn’t great. I didn’t feel any suspense or tension when reading which was a disappointment.
This was an ok read but just not very gripping.

I couldn't put it down! Lots of twists towards the end and it definitely keeps you guessing throughout. Love the author and have never read a poor book by her.
I am looking forward to the next one!

This book was just ok. I finished it quickly but it really didn’t hold my interest all that much. I have to admit I didn’t see the ending coming and I can usually figure them out. I will try other books by this author.

This book kept me guessing right to the end. This book is told in the now and the past. The pace is very fast and the plot was gripping. I have heard such good things about Kerrys books so I cant wait to read more.

Interesting premise but unfortunately lacking the tension and suspense I've come to expect from Kerry Wilkinson. This one failed to grip me as so many of his previous books have done. Disappointed but that doesn't mean I won't be reading any of this books again.

The premise of Close to You is that Morgan sees her husband in the background of a recent photo - impossible, because not only is he dead, Morgan killed him!
That premise made me pick up this book, and I was not disappointed. Morgan is an unreliable narrator which makes the twists and turns in the plot even more intriguing. The story switches back in forth in time, then to now, and Ms Wilkinson achieves the moves seamlessly. I was happy not to have been confused. The pacing is even and fast, the characters complex and layered. I was not happy with the ending, however it made sense given the storyline and characters.
3.5
I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.

Really creepy: you look at a photo taken of a group of you. Your dead husband is in it! And you know he’s dead because YOU KILLED HIM! That’s how this book starts so no plot spoilers. It then goes on a rampage and you need to keep up. Strong 5/5.

Liked this book a lot. Kept me intrigued and wanted to keep reading to find out!
Thank you so much to Net galley!

Oooh this book was good!!

The blurb really drew me in for this one too an I knew it was a book I would need to get my hands on and I had read it within a few hours of it landing on my Kindle!

I liked how the story was told, and the way it was told from present to the past and back to give you an added dimension to the story. It has a wonderful flow to it that had me hooked right from the outset and I found it to be very additive.

The characters were really well planned out, their personalities all worked so well together and I loved seeing how they developed.

It is 4 stars from me for this one, it is another strong release from this author and I am definitely looking forward to what he releases next – this one is highly recommended by me!

This was a lot of build up and not much of an execution. I saw all the shocks coming and wasn’t happy. I will still read more from Kerry as I love his writing. Thanks goes to net galley and the publishers for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I was hooked.from the start I really enjoyed the storyline the writing just flowed I liked the main character Morgan and didn't guess what was going to happen I was gasping at parts of the book didn't want it to end.

A brilliant premise for a thriller, ex wife sees a photo of ex husband at an awards show. But that can’t be as she killed him years before. What ensues is a wild game of cat and mouse culminating in a thrilling conclusion. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for the arc.

I have become a big fan of Wilkinson, largely because of his Jessica Daniels series, so anytime I can get my hands on one of his books, I do.

The book is about Morgan, a fitness expert whose husband disappeared three years ago. The story opens with Morgan confessing that she actually killed him, a plot twist immediately followed up by a sighting of him. Was he actually still alive? From there, the story switches between the present, with mysterious sightings of David and unexplainable text messages, and the past, giving an explanation of why Morgan killed her husband.

I liked the setup of the book, going between past and present to discover what happened. I also was a fan of the actual plot, Morgan having killed her husband or maybe not. The part where it dropped to 4 stars for me was the actual ending. The book had a beautiful setup for one ending and then veered in another direction, which was fine, but I think it could have been a better ending.

I still love Wilkinson’s writing and would recommend this book, along with any of his others!

Wow a tense page turner a book I could not put down.Great characters chilling multi layered grab this book.#netgalley#bookouture

Having read many of Kerry Wilkinson's books, I guess you could call me a fan. Close to You is a unique story line, very unique in that the "heroine" in the book killed her ex to escape a violent life. Now she's seeing him everywhere she goes, or is she. The story bounces clues so you are always wondering if she's losing it or is her ex really still alive? Just about the time you figure it out, nope, that's not the right answer. Another great read from a very talented author.

Having read multiple Wilkinson books in the past, I really looked forward to this one and I was not disappointed. It was twisty, suspenseful and with a huge twist at the end that I don’t think that anyone will be able to guess. Morgan is hanging out with her friend Jane, an amateur photographer who tries to capture everything she sees on film, when Morgan looks at one of Jane’s photos and thinks she sees her dead husband David. How is that possible when Morgan knows she killed him herself? When he continues to show up at the most unexpected times and places, Morgan is determined to solve the mystery and do away with David once and for all. There were no really obvious clues to help me solve the mystery and I loved that I had to work at solving it...and I was still wrong! Loved that! Throughout the book, the suspense was building slowly; it was almost like a living being hanging around on my shoulder. It was very intense for me! My favorite thing about the book is that it is told in two time frames, the present and the past. But the past is not called the past; instead, it is called the “why” and I really thought that was brilliant! Fans of fast-paced and quirky thrillers will enjoy this one for sure!
