A superb work of psychological suspense.
The Day She Died is the kind of novel that keeps you racing to turn the pages, even as you want to stop and savour every expertly crafted turn of phrase. This is the best book I’ve read in I-don’t-know-how-long: creepy and atmospheric, compelling and arresting, with an ending that will truly haunt you long after you’ve put the book down. Highly recommended.
