Product Description

A complex psychological thriller packed with suspense and a plot that twists and turns like an octopus.

On 7th July 2005, a man disappears, believed dead, in the London bombings. Some years later, a freelance journalist recognizes his photograph in a newspaper - the man she has just seen in a café. From that second, Alice’s life will be changed forever in ways she could never have foreseen. Immediately she is pitched into a race against time that takes her from London, across Britain and into the heart of a mystery – the reason for his disappearance on that fateful day.

Spurred on by her unwavering belief in his innocence regarding an unsolved murder on the eve of the bombings, she begins to question the official version of events and to challenge the mindset and motivation of those also seeking him. Then other developments begin to overshadow her search for the truth which becomes a frantic battle for her own survival. For Inspector Jim Rodgers, this had been his final, most agonising case: a murder with no murderer, an inquiry ending in dead-lock and unfinished business, the aftermath still haunting him down the years.

The tragedy begins on 7th July 2005. But it does not stop there. Fate catches up with everyone … in the end.

This is the first book I've read by this author and I did so on the recommendations of other Amazon readers. My daughter wasn't well last week and since I was at home all day with her I picked this up in the morning and started reading. Within 30 minutes I was hooked and wanted to keep reading to find out what happened so carried on as much as I could and finally finished it by lunchtime the following day! It's brilliantly structured and plotted, and the heroine, Alice, is a compelling, flawed, sympathetic and well-drawn character who really draws us into her mind so that we identify with her totally. The setting is convincingly brought to life as is the feeling of fear, of the ground constantly shifting. There's an unexpected twist and a great final section which made me realise how many books have disappointing endings.

The author takes you into the elusive, nebulous world of identity theft, betrayal and revenge that's so chillingly plausible you can actually imagine it happening to you, or someone you know. The characters and atmosphere too linger in your mind long after you've finished reading. Even at the end of the book after all that... but I don't want to spoil the ending for new readers!)

Easily the best read in ages. As I said, great ending too. Highly recommended for both male and female readers. I passed it on to one friend and still haven't had it back!

I'm not going to provide a long synopsis - I do wish "amateur" reviewers (among which I number myself) wouldn't do that, as they often unwittingly give away the plot! However I will just say that this is an absorbing read, the characters are such that you care about them and there are some excellent plot twists towards the end: one of which I foresaw -the others had me totally by surprise.

In brief, complicated, twisty and rewarding- the perfect recipe for a thriller - the book derives its strength from a first-person female narrative, which ratchets up the tension and leads to immediate identification with the main character.We are with her all the way along her lonely and mostly frustrating search for the truth and just when we feel all is lost ...! Well buy it and enjoy the ending as much as I did.

I had high hopes for this book as soon as I read the first paragraph in Amazon's "Look Inside" feature!

This author's novels are a bit different as they're not just well-written psychological suspense thrillers, but also convincing, atmospheric stories about people's lives. The earlier one, `The De Clerambault Code', draws you into the dark, enigmatic world of suffocating, obsessive love and keeps you there while you watch the victim, Laura, fall slowly under Sean's influence. Unable to see the danger until it's too late, she frantically tries to escape, knowing that if she doesn't, she'll lose her mind; if she does, her life.

In `Soul Stealer', free-lance journalist Alice recognizes a man assumed dead in the 7th July 2005 London bombings suspected of an unsolved murder. Her frightening, life-threatening search for the truth behind his disappearance is just as skilfully plotted and written. These characters aren't over the top psychos, they're flawed, damaged people that it's hard not to identify with, whatever they've done. Sean in `The De Clerambault Code' is a compelling character- any woman who's had a relationship with a man like him will recognize the tell tale signs of obsession - and Mark, too, in `Soul Stealer' is just as charismatic. Any woman will equally be able to identify with Alice, understanding why she would give herself so totally to him.

Without spoiling the plot of "Soul Stealer", suffice to say it's gripping right until the final pages -unlike so many modern thrillers with their male-oriented plots which can become cliched and stale. For readers who liked 'The De Clerambault Code' I can fully recommend this novel.
