Blog Tour: Never Forgive You, Hilly Barmby

Thanks so much to Hobeck for having me on this tour.




A glamorous French wedding

Arriving at the station with her boyfriend Davey MacGregor and his twin sisters, Ailsa and Juliette, Hetty, a thriller book addict, picks up on family tension. But that’s natural before a big wedding, isn’t it? Hetty feels out of her depth. The family are wealthy and well-educated, whereas she is a council house girl. Davey’s cousin Isabelle is to marry Jean-Jacques, a French right-wing politician, in the family chateau.


A fairy-tale event

Ailsa is hesitant about coming back to France. Eight years ago, something happened that nearly destroyed the family. But that was dealt with, wasn’t it? Hetty has secrets of her own that she doesn’t want known. Ailsa is drawn back into the past. What, exactly, did happen? The expensive wedding is everything it should be, except when the groom is taken ill. The revellers carry on, but something is seriously wrong.


Then things start to unravel

The relationships between the family members fracture and secrets from the past start coming to the surface, with murderous results… Who is telling the truth? Who is out for revenge?


Bobs and Books honest review:


This took me a little while to get into but then it took shape and became addictive reading.


An eclectic mix of characters that were entertaining, tricksy, untrustworthy and interesting in equal measure. I found myself changing opinions on certain characters as the novel progressed.


An interesting now/then timeline which kept me on my toes.


Well worth a read.
