Book Synopsis:
A twisty and chilling thriller about a woman who did one bad thing when she was young… and must now suffer the consequences.
She thought she’d got away with it. She was wrong.
Hannah Godley is an agony aunt on a London radio show Queen of Hearts. She’s warm and empathetic; a good listener. Her catchphrase is: Be kind, always. But when a stranger phones in to tell a tragic story about her brother who killed himself after he was the victim of a terrible prank by two people, Hannah goes cold. Because she remembers Diane’s brother well. In fact, all these years later, he still haunts her dreams. All because of that one bad thing she did when she was young…
Is Diane just a sad, lonely woman looking for a friend, or does she know what Hannah did, and is looking for revenge? Because as Diane insinuates herself into her life and family, Hannah is going to discover that you can never truly escape that One Bad Thing you did – sooner or later, you’re going to have to pay the price…

My Review:
One Bad Thing is a twisty, gripping thriller that you’ll be unable to out down!
Firstly I’m a huge fan of this author so I was very excited to get a copy if this his latest read. I definitely wasn’t disappointed as this was a fantastic story of obsession and revenge that was very difficult to put down.
The author has created some interesting characters who I enjoyed following throughout the book though wasn’t sure I liked. I must admit it took me a while to like Hannah as I really was sure about her. She seemed genuinely regretful about what she did but I wasn’t sure I could trust her. Diane was a fascinating character who sounded alarm bells for me me straight away as I quickly realised there was something not quite right about her. I wanted to scream at Hannah to stay away from her as I didn’t think she would bring anything but trouble.
Overall I really enjoyed this book which I raced through in a few days. The story is told in two timelines one in the present day and one flashing back to the bad thing Hannah did. I liked the slow build and the way Hannah’s history is slowly revealed so the reader gets more of an overall view of what happened. There were lots of twists along the way that kept me guessing and I only figured everything out in the last few pages which I thought was very clever! I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future.
Huge thanks to Sophie from Head Of Zeus for my copy of this book.
