The Loyal Friend by A.A. Chaudhuri

The Loyal Friend - AA Chaudhuri
Well I knew I was going to be in for a treat with this book, having read She’s Mine previously and knowing how the secrets and tension build, I was not disappointed!
Jade a local yoga instructor doesn’t turn up for her lesson. No one seems concerned, except her friend Natalie, who, on visiting her house finds she is missing and it seems in suspicious circumstances.
Everyone has secrets, including Natalie herself, Susan reliant on alcohol, Grace hiding something from her past and what of Jade herself? Will she be found before it’s too late?
This was a really pacey, twisting thriller. Moving between different POV’s and timelines, we gradually get to know the characters. None of them are particularly likeable but that didn’t stop me reading! I was totally hooked into their stories, reading quickly as I needed to know the outcome. Quite a few difficult themes are explored including jealousy, friendships, family, child abuse and revenge.
And then twists! I was, wait, whaaat?! At the end of each chapter things ramp up, I couldn’t stop reading!
Alex has a real knack of being able to keep you guessing, I really didn’t trust anyone at all! Although there are a few little clues, I was left clueless - Hats of to Alex for a brilliantly realised ending!
A gripping twisting psychological thriller, just fabulous!
