Review of The Pupil by Dawn Goodwin

I received a copy of this title via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

One moment of carelessness. Four shattered lives.

Psychological suspense that explores a labyrinth of lies, manipulation and revenge. Perfect for fans of Louise Jenson and Katerina Diamond.

Literary agent Viola Matthews is sure she's met Katherine Baxter before. So when her husband and bestselling novelist Samuel Morton introduces Viola to the quiet, unassuming woman he has offered to mentor, she knows their paths have crossed before. The question is where?

As their worlds collide and the bond between Samuel and Katherine deepens, Viola realizes she must take control.

If Viola is right, then Katherine needs to pay for something that happened twelve years ago.

My Review:

This was a very intriguing story. Honestly once I saw where things were going it was easy to figure out the direction the book was taking and what secrets lie ahead. There were some surprises thrown in that were quite unexpected though. 

Katherine finally convinced her husband to let her do something outside of the house. She's been taking a writing course, after years of wanting to write a novel of her own. What comes as a surprise is the teacher wanting to mentor her at the end of the course. Something that is a bone of contention between husband and wife. 

Samuel's wife however sees more than the spark between her husband and Katherine. She sees something that happened twelve years ago. Something that will never leave the forefront of her mind. Something that she feels is still owed payment. 

A twisting and turning story that will have you anticipating each turn of the page. I happily give this story 5 Stars!
