For The Last Time by Heidi Perks
Book Synopsis
Dark secrets are revealed when a therapist becomes obsessed with her troubled new patients, for fans of Alex Michaelides and The Golden Couple.
When Erin and Will walk into Maggie’s office for a marriage counseling session, Maggie believes they are an ordinary couple with ordinary communication, intimacy, the usual. But as Maggie struggles to get the couple to open up about what brought them here, she begins to sense that not all is as it seems.
When Erin mentions something connected to Maggie’s past that she couldn’t possibly know, Maggie is disturbed and confused. Why does Erin know anything about Maggie’s long-missing sister? Erin is connected to her somehow, and Maggie is no longer trying to fix the couple’s marriage–she’s trying to uncover her own truth. Maggie knows her code of ethics as a therapist should immediately stop her working with this couple, but she’s desperate for answers about her sister’s disappearance, and she can’t resist using her position to delve deeper into Erin’s memories and what she might know. Erin and Will might not be what they seem–but neither is Maggie.
This dual-perspective psychological thriller will keep readers turning pages until every last secret comes to light.
My Review
For The Last Time is the first book I have read by Heidi Perks. I really enjoyed the alternating chapters with each chapter changing between the several narrators of this book. I have discovered that I rather enjoy reading a thriller/suspense genre novel that starts off with the end result or the crime and then goes back to the beginning before the event and works towards the end allowing the reader to attempt to solve the crime themselves before the ending of the book.
This book moved back and forth in time between before and after as well as changing narrators with each chapter. This book had me puzzling and trying to figure out who the guilty party was and had me switching back and forth and changing to other potential suspects as I read more of the book and moved closer to the ending. I did find some portion of the ending to be a bit predictable, but overall I was pleased with the ending of this book.
I do have a few books by this author on my shelf, The Whispers and Three Perfect Liars, and I look forward to reading these books by this author. I borrowed a physical copy of this book from local library.
My Rating: 4/5
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
