It Ends at Midnight

I love a good thriller and this book was exactly that. The book begins with a body being discovered and throughout the novel you get snippets from reporters through to the emergency services building a picture of the horrors that have occurred. The main bulk of the novel is written from Sylvie's point of view before the tragedy. Sylvie, a district judge and barrister finds herself in a real predicament when her best friend Tess is diagnosed with an illness and wants to make amends on her past mistakes. However, in order to do so could not only cause Sylvie to lose her job but jeopardise any future career plans. Torn between helping a friend find peace and protecting herself Sylvie relents and tries to make contact with a former associate who was sent to prison based on the evidence Tess and Sylvie gave years before. As Sylvie's life spirals out of control she tries everything she can not to lose a grip of the things that means the most to her. But as the clock ticks towards midnight Sylvie knows she is running out of time.

This was a fantastic read and one that I couldn't read fast enough. I loved the unexpected twists and turns which added to the suspense of the novel. Unpredictable, thrilling and a mesmerising read.
