A Parent Apart by Gary Wright

Book synopsis

Decisions define us. Decisions have consequences. Who lives… And who dies.

In Beachbrook, on the south coast of England, Andrew had a choice to make. Save his daughter, or save her friend. A decision no parent should have to face, but one that sets in motion a tragic series of events. 

With the decision came a dark secret, one that Andrew thought he could keep hidden from his family, his friends and the police. 

Two families collide as grief-fuelled recriminations expose the human flaws that haunt us all. The protection of self, the security of family and the fear of losing it all.

My review

A strong, gripping emotional story

Wow what can I say about this book! I knew just from the cover this would be my kind of book. But I didn’t realise exactly how engrossed I would be in it. For a debut author this was so well written!

I think I felt every emotion in this book. From sadness to rage to shock! There is a very sensitive scene which did bring me to tears and for a book to do that to me I know that it must have been written with such emotion that it spills out from the book to the reader.

So many twists and turns I really didn’t know what was going to happen at the end and I do not think anyone would have guessed how it ends because oh my goodness that ending! I will be adding this author to my favourites list and I will want to read everything by him too. If you love psychological thrillers then you really should read this book immediately.
