Review: What they don’t know by Susan Furlong

Description:

Unrelenting psychological suspense with a wicked twist …

Mona Ellison is living a dream life. A successful husband, loving son, beautiful home, an amazing group of friends … you could say that everything is perfect.

Until it isn’t.

When her son becomes entangled with the wrong crowd, ditches college plans, and runs away from home for a life of partying, Mona is upset, but boys will be boys, right? He’ll be back as soon as his money runs dry. At least that’s what she tells her friends.

Only she suspects something different.

Then the police knock on Mona’s door. A young girl has turned up dead, and her missing son is the prime suspect.

Determined to reunite with her son and prove his innocence, Mona embarks on a search that puts her on a twisty trail of social media clues and a rollercoaster ride of lies and betrayal until she lands on a truth that changes her perception of everything. Now, the only thing Mona knows is that she can’t trust anyone … not even herself.

Suburban paranoia at its best …

My opinion:

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What they don’t know by Susan Furlong

This book rocked my world. One twist follows another until the big finale. It’s a psychological suspense that begins with a tragic scene and was slowly becoming more intense by the minute. It is divided into four parts, the first is about stating facts, and the other three is a step-by-step revelation of what happened. I am astonished by the way it is written and how the plot changes
in a natural yet surprising way. The characters are very few but each one has a crucial part in the storyline. Mona is my favorite by far. Her «broken» state of mind combined with her tragedy makes her the perfect lovable victim. It’s so easy to feel her every emotion and connect with her. Not in a million years could I have ever imagined the outcome of this situation.

I am pretty sure that I won’t forget this book, it surely made an impact on me. I highly recommend you to read this if you love suburban psychological suspense novels. I will rate it with 5 stars.
