DESCRIPTION:

The perfect marriage?

Or the perfect lie?

Alistair tells white lies. It’s easier that way.

Elena loves Alistair. But he’s married to Celia.

Celia likes playing games. And one day soon someone is going to get hurt.

The only question is - who?

MY THOUGHTS:

There are no words. I tried to like this book but I just couldn't. Celia was a complete psycho, and not even a readable psycho. 20% in and I just couldn't stomach anymore. Admittedly, I did skip to the final chapters to see how it played out and I don't think I missed anything. I got the general picture and I wasn't surprised.

Life's too short, and my TBR shelf too long, to waste time on books I don't enjoy. NEXT!

I would like to thank #KerryBirds and #DarkEdgePress for an ARC of #TheCatcher in exchange for an honest review.

MEET THE AUTHOR:

Kerry Birds lives in Derbyshire with her husband and two boys. She is an Environmental Chemist who started reading fiction in her thirties and took up writing soon after. She now writes prolifically, partly to quieten her anxious mind.

In 2018 she self-published her first novel, Share My Sky, which was brilliantly received. Rainbows in a Storm and its sequel soon followed. She’s had her nose to the grindstone ever since.

In her spare time, Kerry loves to be with her family, preferably walking on mountains or moorlands, where she finds the perfect places to eat cake and drink tea. She likes seeing friends, going to writing group, stalking bumblebees and drinking wine.

The Catcher, a tale of obsession and revenge, is a piece of literary genius that's firmly set in the domestic noir genre, will be published in eBook and hardback in early 2022.
