The Regret by Dan Malakin
4.0
Wow! How has this author flown beneath my radar?
Rachel has a dark past which includes doxing, a stalker, an unresolved issue with her now dead mother, and a serious eating disorder. With the help of friends and family she has managed to move forward and rebuild her life with a small daughter, a serious boyfriend, and a nursing career.
In the blink of an eye it is all threatened as her smart phone is hacked and the hacker undermines every area of her life.
What follows is a taut, suspenseful and scarily believable plot where Rachel is unable to make people believe her and self doubt starts her spiralling downward into her dark past, putting her relationships and career in jeopardy.
I started the book with one suspect, and then it went to two and then three, back to two and then it stayed that way - constantly wavering back and forth - until the reveal.
