PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Deputy district judge Sylvie, the principal narrator of this tantalizing psychological thriller from Tyce (The Lies You Told), wants to focus on securing a position as a Crown Court judge and enjoying her new relationship with Edinburgh chef Gareth. Then Sylvie's best friend, Tess, announces that she has brain cancer and asks Sylvie to help her with two things. The first is giving the bad news to her estranged husband, Marcus, so they can do a 20th anniversary renewal of wedding vows at Hogmanay (the Scottish New Year's celebration), with Sylvie once again standing as sole bridesmaid. The other is finding and making amends to an old classmate of theirs, Linda, who served time for the death of Sylvie's then boyfriend, largely on the basis of Tess and Sylvie's false testimony. Scenes of tense interactions among Tess, Sylvie, Marcus, and Gareth alternate with Sylvie's recollections of pivotal moments from their school days. Clues to what's really going on are dropped at a perfect pace as Sylvie's distrust of herself and others grows and the plot barrels toward its deadly conclusion at Hogmanay. Tyce is a writer to watch.
Customer Reviews
Addictive. Both the writing and the plot
I loved the way this bounced back from past to present, I never quite knew where it was heading. A great psychological thriller. Blood Orange does take the win for me though.
It ends at the opening pages
I read the quotes from other authors at the start of books. (Not everyone does read them, I know, so this may not be important to many readers, but I’m a nerd). The majority of quotes for this book refer to Blood Orange. It points to either a certain lack of attention by editors or an assumption by them that no one reads those pages so it doesn’t matter. Shame.
Ok
Didn’t enjoy as much as her previous titles
