Product Description
Product Description
A tense, taut tale of mounting suspense and chilling drama. An intricately plotted psychological thriller that explores obsession, madness, betrayal and fear. She has an affair. She ends it. She thinks it's finished. She's fatally miscalculated... On the same evening Laura Hill first meets Sean Cazaly, her secretary Katie is attacked by 'happy slapping' thugs and Sonila arrives from Albania as part of a human trafficking scam targeting Laura's language school. Looking back, the three occurrences seem to merge seamlessly into one, a chain of events leading each in its own way inexorably to violence and, ultimately, death. But at the time, they are quite separate, quite distinct. If only with hindsight, she could now rewind the past like a reel of film, she would never have let it begin, that relationship that began so promisingly but would soon bring about the destruction of all around... What lies ahead is already here - with the shocking revelation of... The De Clerambault Code.

Format:Kindle Edition
I read Nora Johnson's 'Soul Stealer' and thoroughly enjoyed it. So when I came across this novel I had to have it. Both thrillers focus on ordinary, believable people who you sympathise with - and then take them right to the edge of what they're capable of. 'The De Clerambault Code' keeps you guessing all the way through, yet you literally can't put it down. When you do, you wonder, what would I have done if this had happened to me? Highly recommended!

Format:Paperback
Like the previous reviewer, I was drawn by other reader reviews but wasn't disappointed and disagree with the comments made. This isn't a police procedural but a psychological suspense novel. This accounts for the numerous plot strands which do interlink - all loose ends convincingly drawn together at the end - in a well written novel with realistically depicted, believable characters.
Those who prefer a less complex, less interesting, single plotline read might be best advised to stay with something like Wexford!
Well worth space in your suitcase or even better on your Kindle!

Format:Paperback
Seldom do you come across a debut novel filled with such convincing characters, compelling plot and chilling vividness that it makes the bath go cold around you! It grabs you by the throat on the first page and never let go. Each chapter propels you forward to the next with the speed of a roller coaster, driving you on to discover the truth hidden within the core of its central characters, as it explores the border between reality and delusion.
I really enjoyed this novel and was kept guessing right till the end. So if you like a good thriller and are fed up with dull predictable stories then this is the book for you!

Good plot and a rattling good read
This has it all: mystery, cruelty and suspense. An intriguing page turner thriller that pulls you along effortlessly round the twists and turns of the story to a satisfying end. Read more

So disappointing
This is one of the worst, or even the worst, thriller/crime novel I have read. I persevered with it as the other reviews were so good and thought I must be missing something along... Read more
