A review by booksadaisyes
The Anniversary by Stephanie Bishop
4.0
Lucie, better known as JB Blackwood, the name she writes under, married her much older university lecturer, Patrick, a film director. They are each other's muse, both with successful careers. To celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary and to get away from their demanding careers, they go on a cruise, and that's when life starts to unravel.
Bishop's descriptive writing is engaging from the outset, pulling you right into the story and then it's like you are in a hall of mirrors, as you turn you get another fragment of the story.
A psychological thriller, with complex and not particularly likeable characters. Sometimes it's hard to keep up and there are some aspects of the plot lines that seem a little imperfect. But overall this is a book that was hard to put down.
3.5-4⭐️ Thanks to #netgalley and @groveatlantic for the e-arc in return for an honest review. It will be published in the US on 18 July. It was published by @hachetteaus at the end of March and is available in Australia.
