This is my first novel that I've read by B. A. Paris and she definitely has not disappointed me in this most interesting, thrilling, suspenseful, and cleverly written psychological thriller. Is Cass really having a breakdown, early onset dementia, or is there something more sinister at work here?
B.A. Paris delivers an impressive, tense, and mind-blowing story that was executed at breakneck speed grabbing my attention from the very first page and didn’t let go until the very last word. You could feel Cass’s emotional distress, guilt, anguish, and frustration throughout the novel and questioning her mental health right along with her. I didn’t know what the heck was going on and I loved it!
Goodreads: If you can’t trust yourself, who can you trust?
Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods, on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, with the woman sitting inside―the woman who was killed. She’s been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It’s a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm. Her husband would be furious if he knew she’d broken her promise not to take that shortcut home. And she probably would only have been hurt herself if she’d stopped.
But since then, she’s been forgetting every little thing: where she left the car, if she took her pills, the alarm code, why she ordered a pram when she doesn’t have a baby.
The only thing she can’t forget is that woman, the woman she might have saved, and the terrible nagging guilt.
Or the silent calls she’s receiving, or the feeling that someone’s watching her…
'The Breakdown' is a psychological thriller that really sucked me in from the very beginning.
