Reviews

[Sarah Stuart · Rating 5 out of 5]

White is the Coldest Colour was the first of John Nicholl’s thrillers I read, and it is, bar none, the best psychological thriller ever. Or is was until I found When Evil Calls Your Name.

John Nicholl shows both sides of the story, so the reader knows about the killer’s thoughts, motives, and actions, which are kept hidden from the victim. Very, very, very scary!

If you haven’t yet tried a John Nicholl thriller, this box set is the perfect place to start, but be warned. The writing is addictive. I pre-order every book immediately they’re available.

[Janalyn, the blind reviewer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a review for Book2, The wife. The scariest thing about this book is it was based on a true story. Cynthia Galbraith was told Buy her prison counselor to write down everything that happened to get a better perspective of events. After the love of her life was murdered by a hit-and-run driver while jogging his professor came to give his condolences. He said anything she may need or he can do for her just to let him know and he meant that, because on New Year’s eve he called to see how she was doing into invite her out to lunch. This would be the beginning of her brainwashing it would take years but she would put an in to her and her daughters nightmare and that’s how she found herself in prison. I don’t want to say too much although I have given a brief outline of the book, but I have left a lot out OMG what a horror story. The doctor was a weird person and she wasn’t his only victim and all his victims were under the guise of him helping them. It’s only 10% of this book is true then OMG! I really enjoyed this book and if you love thrillers especially domestic thrillers you’ll love this book. Be warned though there is gaslighting and physical and sexual abuse in this book so if you are triggered by these things then I don’t know what kind of thrillers you can read, but don’t read this one. It was so good! I received this book from netGally and the author and I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review but all opinions are definitely my own.
