Someone Out There by Catherine Hunt

Description from Goodreads:

“Top divorce lawyer, Laura Maxwell, appears to have it all – perfect career, perfect husband, perfect life. But how well do you really know the people around you? All it takes is one tiny crack to shatter the whole façade.

A series of accidents leads Laura to believe that someone out there is deliberately trying to harm her. The fear starts to pervade every part of her life, affecting her work and her marriage. Increasingly, she feels that no one believes her story, and she must face down her attacker alone. One woman, fighting to survive in a nightmare world.

“Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, by Paula Hawkins, and Into the Darkest Corner, by Elizabeth Haynes.” – Killer Reads, Harper Collins.”

****************************************

On first impression, Laura has the perfect job, the perfect husband and a perfect marriage but all is not what it seems and her life begins to unravel before her eyes following a series of “accidents” and “events” and those around her begin to question whether they have actually happened. At the same time you, the reader, start to question the other characters in the book as many seem to have a motive to make Laura’s life a misery.

I usually like to give a brief outline of the main characters in a book but won’t on this occasion as to do so would give away some of the storyline and I don’t want to ruin it for anyone but would just like to say that the author has outdone herself on the creation of interesting and complex players in this book.

The story is written at great pace from the start and flows from beginning to end interweaving the different points of view which, rather than being confusing, enhanced the story for me as it gave an insight into the motivations of each character. This also enabled clues from each person being dropped in but it’s only towards the end that they all come together in a thrilling climax.

Overall, Someone Out There is a really enjoyable début novel full of suspense, tension, drama and intrigue with interesting characters and a great storyline and I look forward to reading more from this new author.

Thank you to the Publisher, via NetGalley, for providing me with a copy in return for an unbiased and honest review.
