The Woman on the Pier – review (AD)
I was kindly given an electronic copy of The Woman on the Pier by B P Walter in exchange for an honest review*.
The Woman on the Pier book blurb
Two strangers meet on the pierOnly one walks away…
Screenwriter Caroline Byrne is desperate to know why her daughter Jessica died, murdered in Stratford when she was supposed to be at a friend’s in Somerset.
When Caroline discovers the messages Jessica had been sending a boy named Michael, she realises it’s because of him. Because he failed to meet her that day.
He’s the reason why her daughter is dead.
And so she makes a choice. He’s the one who’s going to pay.
That is her promise. Her price.
Set between Essex, Kent, and Australia, The Woman on the Pier is a dark suspense thriller brimming with secrets and lies seeping across three generations – a must-read for fans of Lucy Foley and Rosamund Lupton.
My overall thoughts on The Woman on the Pier
It’s every parent’s worst nightmare come true when Caroline’s daughter is tragically killed.
Caroline is a grieving mother who has not come to terms with her daughter’s untimely death and with her marriage in tatters and her career on hold, her every thought is consumed with knowing the truth.
Her daughter, Jessica, was killed in a shocking terrorist attack in London but why was she there?
Three months on from Jessica’s tragic death Carline still doesn’t understand why Jessica was in London and not staying with friends as she had told her parents.
Caroline can’t let go and eventually decides to go through her daughter’s phone, and finds what she’s been looking for.
You really feel that Caroline is spinning as she goes into the rabbit hole of Jessica’s phone on this quest to find the truth.
We the reader are taken on this quest as Caroline hunts down this boy.
What will she do if she finds him?
And what is she hoping to achieve?
There’s lots going on in The Woman on the Pier.
This is a tale of secrets, betrayal, revenge, mental health, child abuse, murder, grief and much more.
