Book review: The Last One to See Him by Kathryn Croft

February 22, 20252 min read

The Last One to See Him by Kathryn Croft is an enjoyable and twisty read, that seems predictable until it isn’t. I’ve read a number of Croft’s books now and always enjoy them as they tend to involve secrets, complicated relationships and a good level of intrigue. On top of the aforementioned twists of course.

There’s a lot happening here, many players with hidden (and not-so-hidden) agendas, but Croft still manages to blindside readers, making us realise we’ve made a number of now-wrong assumptions.

Book review: Two Mothers by Kathryn Croft

August 28, 20243 min read

I’d had Two Mothers by Kathryn Croft sitting on my iPad ready to read for so long that one version had expired. I’ve read a few of Croft’s books* and have enjoyed them but suspect it was the fact that this seemed to be yet another book about warring parents that put me off. I don’t have kids (so no skin in the game) and the trope feels like it’s overdone. I think the likes of The Slap and Big Little Lies led the way but in the years since I’ve found myself avoiding books themed bad-parent-noir. It surprised me then that this goes in quite a different direction, with one of the main characters going missing – narrating their story from the past – so I realised this wasn’t going to be the predictable book I was expecting.

Book review: Silent Lies by Kathryn Croft

October 21, 20172 min read

This is the fourth book I’ve read by Kathryn Croft though she’d (also) written two books before I discovered The Girl With No Past in 2015.

The last four have been released in pretty quick succession over the past couple of years, which keeps me happy, as Croft authors the kinds of psychological thrillers that are my reading bread and butter.

Book review: While You Were Sleeping by Kathryn Croft

November 16, 20162 min read

Interestingly, for some time, one of my most-read reviews on this blog was Kathryn Croft’s The Girl With No Past, which I reviewed in October 2015. I’ve subsequently also reviewed Croft’s The Girl You Lost earlier this year so having a chance to read her latest was a no-brainer.

Book review: The Girl You Lost by Kathryn Croft

February 5, 20162 min read

Kathryn Croft’s The Girl With No Past received a lot of love when it was released last year. Indeed, in my own review of the book I commented that Croft did a great job with the lead character—the flawed Leah—and while I wasn’t entirely convinced by the ending I most certainly didn’t see it coming.
