Trust Me by Hank Phillipi Ryan

I just finished Trust Me by Hank Phillipi Ryan. I read it as my selection for our February Mystery Book Club selection. We are reading any book or books by the authors that our part of the Jungle Red Writers. Since our meeting is a couple of weeks away, I wanted to share while it is still fresh in my mind. I'll give you a synopsis of the club members choices, after we meet.



About:
"An accused killer insists she's innocent of a heinous murder.

A grieving journalist surfaces from the wreckage of her shattered life.

Their unlikely alliance leads to a dangerous cat and mouse game that will leave you breathless.

Who can you trust when you can't trust yourself?"


This is an excellent psychological thriller. Mercer has lost her husband and child in a car accident and barely making it through each day. She is asked to follow and write a book on the trial of Ashlyn, who is accused of murdering her own child. This may be just the thing to get her back on her feet, take her mind off what can't be changed, move her forward. After the trial, she is asked to continue the book, interviewing Ashlyn. During the interviews, Ashlyn tells pieces of her story one day, and the the next day she says that wasn't true. She then gives more information, and the next day will say she made it up. She suggests things, people and situations, that makes Mercer doubt everything she knows, even about her own family.

So many twists and turns, you will find yourself doubting what you thought to be true. It so engrossing, you may even fill a little off, twingy, creepy. It is worthy of an all night read.

Trust me.
