Book Synopsis:
Dan has worked hard for the perfect life. He has a loving wife, beautiful kids, a fabulous home and is a successful businessman.
One afternoon Dan steps onto his usual train and sees the waitress who served him an hour earlier. It all seemed so normal, but it was the most dreadful mistake. Four stops later, Dan is a criminal who has lost everything. He’d only just met her, so why did she destroy him—and why did she say ‘Sorry’?
Dan battles through a web of lies and deceit to clear his name and win his life back, but first, he needs to find out who plotted his downfall.
‘The inspiration behind the story came from reading articles on how unexpected events can make someone’s world unravel. It struck me just how fragile all of our lives really are. It could happen to any of us. All it would take is one mistake.’ —Jem Tugwell

My Review:
Dishonoured was a well written, fast paced and totally gripping thriller which I found difficult to put down.
Firstly i really liked the main character, Dan, who I warmed to quickly. The situation he finds himself in is quite a realistic one and I found myself getting quite indignant about the injustice of it all. As a mum my heart went out to him for the loss of his family and I wished I could reach into the book to give him a hug. I was very glad that he had the wonderful Anomaly on his side helping to fight for justice.
This is a fast paced story, with lots happening and many twists to keep the reader on their toes. The writing is very precise and focuses on what is happening without a lot of description which helped with the pace and the short chapters helped make it an easy book to read. The final twist was completely unexpected and I thought very clever.
This was the first book I’ve read from this author and I’d definitely be interested in reading more from her in the future. Huge thanks to Rachel from Rachel’s Random Resources for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book which I will be recommending to all thriller fans!
