BLOG TOUR: Guilt by Amanda Robson




The shocking new thriller from the #1 bestseller
‘Thrilling, unputdownable, a fabulous rollercoaster of a read’ B A PARIS, bestselling author of BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

The number 1 bestseller is back!

Your sister. Her secret. The betrayal.


There is no bond greater than blood . . .

When the body of a woman is found stabbed to death, the blame falls to her twin sister. But who killed who? And which one is now the woman behind bars?

Zara and Miranda have always supported each other. But then Zara meets Seb, and everything changes. Handsome, charismatic and dangerous, Seb threatens to tear the sisters’ lives apart – but is he really the one to blame? Or are deeper resentments simmering beneath the surface that the sisters must face up to?

As the sisters’ relationship is stretched to the brink, a traumatic incident in Seb’s past begins to rear its head and soon all three are locked in a psychological battle that will leave someone dead. The question is, who?

Claustrophobic and compelling, Amanda Robson is back in a knock-out thriller perfect for fans of B.A. Paris and Paula Hawkins.

Excerpt

Jude, I was sitting on the bench outside Tesco when I first saw Zara. She walked past with a jaunty step like you used to have; shiny-eyed, as if she was about to do something far more interesting than visit Tesco. Feeling sociable after the E I had taken, I followed her in. With her tousled hair and creamy skin, she reminds me of you. There is an edginess about her that makes me feel invigorated, as if, after all my problems, one day I will feel alive again. One day my life will work out.

  ‘Have you eaten here before?’ Zara asks, as I sit opposite her at Chez Luigi’s.

  ‘Once or twice, on special occasions,’ I reply.

  ‘So being here with me is special?’ she asks, flicking her hair from her face. ‘I bet you say that to all the girls.’

  ‘I don’t usually pick people up in supermarkets.’

  ‘Neither do I,’ she replies.

  ‘When I met you in the supermarket, you said you were a twin,’ I remind her. ‘Are you identical?’

  ‘No.’ She pouts a little. ‘I can assure you that I am one hundred per cent individual.’

  Zara Cunningham. Not defined by being a twin. Zany. Interesting. Button nose. Perfect cheekbones. So spontaneous, so free flowing.

Claire's Review ⭐⭐⭐

3.5 Stars - This is a well-written story written from multiple points of view. Twins Zara and Miranda and Zara's boyfriend Sebastian. Zara is a troubled individual, suffering from anxiety and she self-harms, while Miranda is the clever one.

When Miranda meets Zara's new boyfriend Sebastian, she immediate dislikes him, but to protect her sister's feelings she tries her best to get along with him.

This was a great read to begin with, dark and disturbing..however, I found the ending predictable and slow and I was very disappointed that there wasn't a big twist at the end. A great beginning to the story with lots of potential, but sadly fell a little flat for me.
