Cara is under pressure to deliver her 30th novel but she is suffering from writer's block. When anonymous letters start to arrive, she decides to base her novel on the events happening in her life. Soon fact and fiction become blurred and the plot twists and turns to a shocking ending.
A great read for fans of psychological thrillers.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Wow, another suspenseful, fast-paced and impossible to put down book by Valerie Keogh. I love this authors writing style and she never writes a bad book each one just keeps on getting better! I was hooked from the first line!
I devoured this in a day as I raced through the pages dying to know what would happen next. It was fast- paced with many twists and turns throughout that kept me enthralled.
I’d highly recommend this book you definitely won’t regret reading it!

I love a Valerie Keogh book, and this one was no exception! A proper good, 'mess with your mind' psychological thriller. The characters were depicted so perfectly. I really liked the chapters dedicated to the background for 'him'. It was perfect to understand his motivation, thoughts and feelings. I think without this, the motive would have seemed a bit far fetched but you really got a really good understanding of the character and how he had got to where it was. Similarly, the evolution of Cara slowly going insane was portrayed really well, you could really see her brain working on overdrive and getting lost on fact and fiction.
There were so many twists and turns at the end it was like watching a tennis match! You didn't know who or what to believe! Highly recommend this one to all those psychological thriller fans out there, a great read!

When Cara Jenkins, a writer, stars receiving anonymous threating letters, her husband Artie her dismisses her fears. It's probably a prank, he says. Her best friend Trinny worries about her but, what can she do? Cara's life soon starts to unravel and she loses her grip on reality... who's behing the letters and how do they know about Cara's big secret??
This was SO GOOD, absolutely unputdownable! The twist was SHOCKING! I gasped out loud. I highly recommend this book!

Another fantastic psychological thriller by Valerie. Had me gripped. Loved the plot and the ending was unexpected.

Not much is better than the mind blowing suspense of
anything written by this Author. I’m still wrapped up in
the final acts, while reviewing the entire scenario and
it’s so well crafted~just enough information and tidbits
are added leaving the reader to have to stop and breathe
as we try to think:What could possibly happen NOW!?!
Well, since no one told me, I’m not going to tell you, but
it’s SPECTACULAR !
My thanks to Boldwood Books via NetGalley for the
download copy,of,the book for review purposes.

I really enjoy Valerie Keogh's books. There are many twists and often surprise endings. This was no exception.
However, Cara Jenkins, the author, found it difficult to separate real life and fiction - I had the same problem at times.
I found Cara to be gullible, and far too trusting.
The "Him" in the book, held a grudge and blamed Cara for an awful long time, for 'ruining his life'. I personally found that was a bit weird.
A quick and entertaining read.

I just finished an engaging read. The Writer by Valerie Keogh kept me turning the pages until the very last one!

Another great read from Valerie Keogh! Took this one on my beach vacay and I’m so glad I did. Fantastic characters that made it impossible to know who to trust. Twists and turns from start to finish.
Thank you NetGalley, Valerie Keogh and Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read and review this book

Cara Jenkins is a successful author about to embark on her thirtieth novel. When she starts to write it an anonymous letter comes in the letterbox, at first she thinks nothing of it but then they start getting more and more frequent. She decides to write her new book on what is happening but reality and fiction seems to blur together for her. Cara soon believes someone is watching her and following her, is she imagining it or is it really happening.

Keogh is a remarkable talent, and when I was offered the chance to read an early copy of The Writer, I jumped at it.
This gripping novel follows Cara Jenkins, a best-selling author who finds herself paralysed with panic as she struggles to come up with an idea for her much-anticipated 30th book. The pressure mounts when her agent reveals that the publisher is planning a major celebration for its release, and her editor hopes the novel might earn an award nomination.
Just as the stress becomes overwhelming, Cara begins receiving anonymous, threatening letters. She turns to the only coping mechanism she knows—writing. But as she pours her fears onto the page, the line between fact and fiction begins to blur, leaving her (and the reader) unsure of what’s real and who can be trusted.
With its many twists and turns, The Writer keeps you guessing until the final, shocking—but entirely fitting—ending. A taut, clever thriller that showcases Keogh at the top of her game.

Valerie Keogh always knows how to tell a story. This book hot a little repetitive in some parts for me. But other than that was a perfect rainy day read. Characters spot on in real and fiction..I loved the ending but mo spoilers.
Thanks to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for an early release of this book
