The Couple at the Table by Sophie Hannah #Review

 

I am thrilled to be taking part in the blog tour to support Sophie Hannah's psychological thriller, The Couple at the Table. It was published on 27th January in hardback by Hodder & Stoughton.


SIX COUPLES. ONE LUXURY RESORT. AND THE PERFECT MURDER . . .

You're on your honeymoon at an exclusive couples-only resort.

You receive a note warning you to 'Beware of the couple at the table nearest to yours'. At dinner that night, five other couples are present, and none of their tables is any nearer or further away than any of the others. It's as if someone has set the scene in order to make the warning note meaningless – but why would anyone do that?

You have no idea.

You also don't know that you're about to be murdered, or that once you're dead, all the evidence will suggest that no one there that night could possibly have committed the crime.

So who might be trying to warn you? And who might be about to commit the perfect impossible murder?

My Thoughts

This is an intricately plotted thriller which keeps you guessing up to the end. The action is centred on the exclusive couples-only resort and in many ways is reminiscent of classic crime stories with a cast of people all put together in an isolated location. The clues are all there and slowly the jigsaw falls into place with everyone gathered together for the denouement.

    You certainly have to concentrate to keep up with the different characters and their identities. Lucy, at times, speaks with her own voice and I was never too sure how dependable she was as a character - or anyone else for that matter! If you enjoy a whodunnit, this will appeal. There are plenty of secrets to uncover to keep you hooked.

In short: A locked-room mystery with panache
