What I'm Reading: Killing Me Softly by Sandie Jones

A review of a psychological thriller about addiction and obsession

KILLING ME SOFTLY by Sandie Jones

Freya and Charlie are on top of the world. Newlyweds, madly in love, promising careers and a fabulous London social life. Until the night it all comes crashing down in a spectacular way. Now they are lying for each other to the police to avoid being charged in a hit-and-run accident, fleeing London for a tiny village and trying to hold their marriage together, to kick an addiction, and to build a new life.

But there are cracks in their marriage that go deeper than either of them suspect. And there are dangers lurking in the village, which will pit Freya and Charlie against each other and test them even further.

Sandie Jones has written a fast-paced and deeply unnerving psychological thriller about addiction and obsession that keeps the reader guessing throughout.
