APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Gone Girl meets Room in this claustrophobic mystery which fairly thunders along. Readers can’t help but root for quietly courageous heroine Amelie Lamont—a born survivor who was orphaned in Paris and had a brush with homelessness before building a new life in London. Her fortunes transform overnight when she’s swept off her feet by one of Britain’s most eligible bachelors but her fairytale swiftly turns sour. After the newlyweds are abducted at gunpoint in the night, Amelie awakes in a pitch-black room at the mercy of her silent captors. Is it a kidnapping for ransom or an elaborate act of revenge? Will one or both of them get out alive? Amelie’s desperate attempts to escape are nail-gnawingly tense. The aftermath, when she turns sleuth and pieces together the truth, is equally enthralling. Franco-British author Paris constructs an intricately layered plot, with multiple timelines and themes of twisted relationships, toxic privilege and trauma. Taut, gutsy and thrumming with menace, it’s a story which will keep you locked in until the end.
