Rosie’s Book Review Team

Georgia has been reading Bethulia by Thorne Moore.

Bethulia has at its heart the story of three women, Alison, Jude and Danny, and one man, Simon. The women are lifelong friends and until Simon came along and married Alison, inseparable. Alison dies, apparently by taking her own life, and Jude arrives at the airport to be greeted by a distraught Danny who confirms the news.

This bond between the women quickly breaks down when it is revealed that Danny had a brief fling with Simon while he was married to Alison. Jude is then quick to console the widower, getting close to him before Danny has any chance to rekindle their relationship.

In amongst all of these characters, and others, is DC Rosanna Quillan who, from experience and her own trauma, doesn’t believe that Alison killed herself. But how can she prove it?

This story is deceptive because it appears to be straightforward. Until it isn’t.

I don’t want to go into all the whys and wherefores as to what happens as that will spoil it for any future reader and you really do want to come into this book with fresh eyes. Suffice to say the writing is excellent, the characters totally believable and the planning and plotting terrific. The pages keep turning because you want to find out the truth and it will keep you guessing as to what the characters are up to. Highly recommended for everyone who enjoys exciting, pacey storytelling.

5 stars

Book description

Alison, Danny, Jude: three girls bound closer than sisters. Nothing can ever divide them.
Until Alison falls for Simon Delaney. He’s handsome, successful and ambitious. What woman wouldn’t want him? He’s surely her perfect husband. Any woman’s perfect husband. But in that case, why does she commit suicide?
If it really is suicide. With no evidence to the contrary, the police are ready to say yes. All except for the driven DC Rosanna Quillan. She says no, but she can only watch as Jude and Danny fight for the prize – the widower. How far would either of them go to have him?
And how bitter is the fruit of success?
