I started reading Before She Knew Him by Peter Swanson yesterday afternoon and was unable to put it down until I finished. Needless to say, my night was devoted to devouring this book. If you love a good psychological thriller or murder mystery I cannot recommend this book enough. Swanson's book is a fast-paced page-turner that keeps you on your toes. The twist in the last tenth of the book definitely left me with my mouth agape. I definitely did not see that coming and still cannot stop thinking about that plot twist.
Before She Knew Him tells the story of Hen and her husband Lloyd who have just moved into a new neighborhood outside of Boston, Massachusetts. A seemingly ordinary dinner at their neighbor's house turns troublesome when Hen spots a fencing trophy that she is nearly positive is the exact trophy that went missing after a murder a few years ago.
Lloyd and the police are hesitant to believe Hen's claims, especially since she has a history of false accusations that arose during a manic episode of her bipolar disorder. Hen is determined to make sure that her neighbor is caught and apprehended and will stop at nothing.
This is definitely my favorite Peter Swanson book so far and has me yearning to read more. I hope they live up to the standard that Before She Knew Him has set!
