Book Synopsis:
Nine suicides
One Cult
No leader
Nine people arrive one night on Chelsea Bridge. They’ve never met. But at the same time, they run, and leap to their deaths. Each of them received a letter in the post that morning, a pre-written suicide note, and a page containing only four words: Nothing important happened today.
That is how they knew they had been chosen to become a part of the People Of Choice: A mysterious suicide cult whose members have no knowledge of one another.
Thirty-two people on that train witness the event. Two of them will be next. By the morning, People Of Choice are appearing around the globe; it becomes a movement. A social media page that has lain dormant for four years suddenly has thousands of followers. The police are under pressure to find a link between the cult members, to locate a leader that does not seem to exist.
How do you stop a cult when nobody knows they are a member?
A shocking, mesmerisingly original and pitch-black thriller, Nothing Important Happened Today confirms Will Carver as one of the most extraordinary, exciting authors in crime fiction.

My Review:
Wow what an incredible, unique read this was. I always think it’s difficult to stand out in a popular genre but this author manages it!
I’ve always had a bit of a fascination with cults and how they can get people to follow them the way they do, so this book instantly appealed to me. The dramatic openers instantly gripped me and gives the reader an idea about what this book is going to be like. It’s a very dark, shocking and frightening read with some of the descriptions being quite vivid which makes for uncomfortable reading at times. It is however uniquely gripping ( in a can’t look away from a car crash kind of way) which makes the reader want to keep reading as I wanted to find out what was happening but also to stop for a minute as I wasn’t sure if I wanted to know!
This book is very cleverly written as the author manages to keep the reader in the dark about who is narrating the story and who is behind the cult. It’s very fast paced with lots happening in it which makes the book hard to put down. The way that people only find out they are in a cult when they receive a note is very chilling and made me wonder what was going on. The truth is slowly revealed and the way that the cult manages to control people is actually frightening in its simplicity and plausibility which made a shiver run down my spine!
The ending was absolutely brilliant and I was very satisfied with how it all panned out. This is a very thought provoking book especially with the way the author includes people’s use of social media and I’m certain I will be thinking about it for ages to come.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Karen from Orenda Books for my copy of this book. If you are looking for a unique, thriller writer than you need to try this author!
