Beneath the Skin: A dark domestic noir about a life changing lie


Beneath the Skin- Caroline England3*  
A mixture of couples all with issues. Some in the past, some in the present and some that are going to cause issues in the future. David has forgotten something that he is responsible for at work. Forgotten because he has used the funds for it for something else. Antonia has  new name but can’t forget her past especially as her demented elderly mother keeps reminding her of her past identity. Stones and ripples-how one thing can affect another and other people. A throw away comment that cuts to the quick, a compliment that you remember for years afterwards.To me not a psychological thriller as there wasn’t a key mystery as such- just lots of people with their own secrets not all of which were unfurled. A very well written book with characters that came alive.   An interesting premise, a complicated web, a different read.I voluntarily chose to read this ARC and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
