Clara and Oliver begin a relationship just as Covid 19 causes a lockdown in Ireland. Clara is all to eager to accept Oliver’s idea that they move in together for the lockdown, this will be the perfect chance for them to really get to know each other. Oliver wants to be locked down with Clara because he has a secret and he doesn’t want anyone to know who, or where her is. It’s not until lockdown eases that the police find a badly decomposed body in Oliver’s apartment and must piece together what happened. What a great idea for a book! As if Covid 19 and lockdown weren’t scary enough Howard has given us something else to be sacred of!

I loved this thriller set during the Covid pandemic. Ciara and Oliver meet just days before the lockdown begins in Dublin. After a few dates, they decide to move in together. After that, things begin to quickly happen and the thriller begins. A five star read!

I absolutely love this heart pounding thriller. It kept me on the edge of my seat until the end of the book. This one’s a real winner.
