Duplicity by Jo Wilde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Anna has left her abusive boyfriend in Texas and moved in with her older brother, Jeff, a doctor in New Orleans. He’ll take care of her and get her back on her feet, even if it means agreeing to see a therapist and going back to school. Jeff isn’t going to support her forever, and she wants to pay him back for everything he’s done. And then there’s Jeff’s friend, Ethan, who’s also a doctor. He’s charming, sweet and sexy, the only problem is Anna’s brother doesn’t want her to get involved with him, though Anna doesn’t think it would ever happen anyway. She’s too plain and uneducated. But as Anna eases into a fresh start, something strange is going on. Is there anyone she can trust? And worst of all can she trust her own eyes?
This book hooked me on the first page, and I found it difficult to put down. Even I didn’t know who Anna could trust. Turning the page was like turning a corner, you just never knew who might be lurking, friend or foe.
Duplicity is fast-paced and easy to read psychological thriller, with just enough detail to set the scenes. Great dialogue captures the individual personalities of the characters. I particularly enjoyed reading Franny’s dialogue, a minor yet fun character.
If you enjoy psychological thrillers, this is a good one.
