Night Visitor: A Novel

by Gillian White, Dina Pearlman (Narrator)

"Grabs you by the throat and won't let go." (Woman's Journal)

During their thirty years of marriage, Rose Redfern has confided everything (well, nearly everything) to Michael, and is certain that he would never hide anything from her. That's why it's such a shock when, shortly before Rose and Michael are set to take a romantic trip to Venice, she receives strong evidence that he's having an affair with a woman their daughters' age. Rose feels emotionally unmoored, and her sense of betrayal swiftly turns vengeful. She stumbles across a stash of powerful barbiturates, previously used to medicate an epileptic dog, and wonders if she might not find a new use for them…But is Michael truly unfaithful to Rose, or is someone seeking to destroy the Redferns' lives - and can that person be stopped before it's too late? Night Visitor is a frighteningly plausible scenario of how secrets and jealousy can tear people apart.

Nach Zögern hab ich es doch beendet. Hat mich leider nicht abgeholt bzw war nichts für meinen Geschmack. Der erste Teil hat mich angewidert (was aber eigentlich den guten Stil der Autorin widerspiegelt), Teil 2 hat mich unendlich verwirrt. die Auflösung kam und hat mich überrascht und dann war es zu Ende. Ich bin froh dass ich das Buch gelesen habe, aber Spaß gemacht hat es mir aufgrund der Thematik wenig.

This book was so long winded!!! But stuck out it and the ending was brilliant... just a shame the only exciting stuff happened in the last 10 pages.

A great read, with a few twists thrown in.

Twisty psychological thriller. Had me guessing the whole book and I still got it wrong.

[Diane · Rating 2 out of 5]

This author is new to me and I won't be reading anymore, her style is easy enough to read but it's all over the place. She writes, at times, as though someone is speaking to the reader but I'm not sure who's speaking. I wonder too when White decided who the perpetrator was because it feels like it was near the end. Overall, not very impressed.

I struggled to score this! I was disturbed by this book at times. So much so I nearly stopped reading it, it was so uncomfortable. I am glad I persevered though. Maybe it should be a 4, or more. If you read it you will understand. Really liked the end.
