About the Book
We all have our secrets…
They were six university students from Oxford–friends and sometimes more than friends–spending an idyllic week together in a French farmhouse. It was supposed to be the perfect summer getaway…until they met Severine, the girl next door.
For Kate Channing, Severine was an unwelcome presence, her inscrutable beauty undermining the close-knit group’s loyalties amid the already simmering tensions. And after a huge altercation on the last night of the holiday, Kate knew nothing would ever be the same. There are some things you can’t forgive. And there are some people you can’t forget…like Severine, who was never seen again.
Now, a decade later, the case is reopened when Severine’s body is found in the well behind the farmhouse. Questioned along with her friends, Kate stands to lose everything she’s worked so hard to achieve as suspicion mounts around her. Desperate to resolve her own shifting memories and fearful she will be forever bound to the woman whose presence still haunts her, Kate finds herself buried under layers of deception with no one to set her free…
My Review
It’s been a hot minute since I got enthralled by a suspense novel – enter in The French Girl. I was completely invested in this story from the moment I started, so much so that I started taking little notes while reading, trying to piece together the mystery with the clues I was receiving. I read this quickly over the weekend, eager to see what actually happened to Severine – and who out of the group of friends was really to blame for her death. There was a great romantic angle to this as well, and if you are a fan of physiological suspense novels, I highly recommend you add this to your list.
