First, a trigger warning: while this is not a romance, there is cheating and it is crucial to the story.
If you've read the book description and it interests you, don't hesitate for a second; it lived up to all my expectations, which were considerable. Victoria Helen Stone has written yet another phenomenal book. Her writing is vivid and eloquent, and right from the start, you get that feeling of impending doom. I could feel Veronica's panic, her frustration, her rage, her helplessness, her disbelief; the dialogues are amazing and always realistic. The characters are superbly fleshed out, there are secrets, startling twists and turns, and Ms. Stone slowly builds up the tension until it crescendoes to its terrifying conclusion.
With FALSE STEP, Victoria Helen Stone has cemented her position amongst the greats; she writes a mean domestic thriller. The story is tightly and carefully plotted, the writing impeccable, the editing flawless, and although I had figured out parts of the storyline, the ending was not at all what I expected; it was so much more satisfying. FALSE STEP is completely different from the author's unforgettable masterpiece, JANE DOE (my favourite book of 2018), and just as thrilling, exciting, and utterly spellbinding. In my eyes, Victoria Helen Stone can do no wrong, she is fearless, bold, original and she has secured her place on my auto-buy list.
