This new standalone thriller by author Kerry Wilkinson is a little different from it's contemporaries.
The book is set on a Mediterranean island where two families are enjoying a holiday only to be destroyed when Emma's father is found unconscious on the sand. Her father has fallen from a cliff and suspicions and accusations follow, but all the family have secrets they prefer to hide and all of them have stories to tell. but who do you believe.

This is a good solid read told in the form of interviews leaving you to try and decipher the truth. I did feel the book needed a little more to make it a five star read but nevertheless an entertaining read.

I would like to thank both Net Galley and Bookouture for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

I read Seven Days in July over a couple of days. It’s a fantastic psychological thriller written in a unique way and I found I was totally hooked. It’s full of secrets, lies, twists and turns gathering pace with each turn of the page.

Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and the author for the chance to review.

Seven Days in July by Kerry Wilkinson delivers all of the intrigue, twists and turns that I have come to expect from this author who, for me, can simply do no wrong with a thriller. The format may be different this time around, but all of the trademarks that we have come to love from the author are present and accounted for, making this yet another must read.

Two families have arrived for a week long holiday on the Greek island of Galanikos. It is clear from the outset that tensions exist between the two families and, indeed, within each family itself. It is not long into the vacation that tragedy strikes, and one member of the party falls from a cliff and sustains serious injury. Suspicions and accusations are presented after the fact in a series of interview transcripts, and it quickly becomes apparent that some of the party believe that the victim met with foul play. But who among them could possibly have a motive for murder?

This is a fast-paced read that had me flying through the transcripts in a bid for answers. As with anything that comes from the mind of the clever Kerry Wilkinson, this one will keep you guessing until the end.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC.

Emma's dad Geoffrey invites his family as well as his business partner and his wife, son and daughter in law on a holiday to a Greek island.
But the day after they arrive, Emma's dad is found unconscious, having fallen off a cliff. The same cliff that his previous business partner Alan, had fallen to his death from 9 years ago. Emma soon discovers that her dad might have a hidden reason to come back to the island...

It was a good entertaining read, and I liked the unusual narration in the form of interviews.
The story was gripping enough for me to be anxious to find out which of the interviewees were telling the truth.
But in the end, I found myself disappointed with the turn of events. I was hoping for a more twisty conclusion. The story was building up into something big, but then it suddenly disregarded it all in favor of a bland ending.
I was especially let down by the quick dismissal of the secret Emma's dad was hiding. I feel that avenue could have been explored further but instead, nothing really came of it.
It was a weird book, the author's note at the beginning made me wonder if the story was based on a real event. Later, I concluded that it was just part of the plot but then again the author's note at the end made me question it.
Overall it was an entertaining read and if you're on the lookout for something unusual, then this book is for you.
It gets 3 stars.

I have read several books by Kerry Wilkinson and enjoyed them so was looking forward to reading this. It’s a different format to usual set from several peoples point of view but it was quick paced and kept me gripped still hence I read it in a day. I highly recommend this book and author. If you haven’t tried any of the books before by this author you will be in for. a treat.

Seven Days In July by author Kerry Wilkinson is a thrill of a mystery novel! Great characters with an even greater plot line! Definitely would recommend it!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
