\"\"The Sunday Girl<\/em> by Pip Drysdale \u2013 this snappy, fast-paced debut thriller hooked me in right from the outset and kept me on tenterhooks.<\/p>\n

Here’s the blurb:<\/p>\n

Any woman who\u2019s ever been involved with a bad, bad man and been dumped will understand what it feels like to be broken, broken-hearted and bent on revenge.<\/p>\n

Taylor Bishop is hurt, angry and wants to destroy Angus Hollingsworth in the way he destroyed her: \u2018Insidiously. Irreparably. Like a puzzle he\u2019d slowly dissembled \u2026 stolen a couple of pieces from, and then discarded, knowing that nobody would ever be able to put it back together ever again.\u2019<\/p>\n

So Taylor consults The Art of War<\/i> and makes a plan. Then she takes the next irrevocable step \u2013 one that will change her life forever.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The whole time, I hoped the protagonist would outsmart her former lover, a nasty piece of work who\u2019s characterised with oodles of menace \u2013 I felt as if I were there with her, helping her exact revenge (though that\u2019s not normally my style!).<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a sense of immediacy about the book that lends to the pace and nail-biting factor, and underlying a cracker of a thriller is the darker theme of domestic abuse.<\/p>\n
