He Said, She Said.

Kit and Laura are a young couple at a festival in Cornwall celebrating a solar eclipse. Immediately after the eclipse Laura witnesses a brutal crime. Wanting to help Beth, the victim, Laura stands as a witness for prosecution at the trial of the perpetrator who is found guilty and imprisoned.

Fifteen years later, after traveling the world to witness other eclipses, Kit and Laura are still devoted to each other and are awaiting the birth of twins. But things aren't exactly normal... Both of them are guarding deep secrets from each other and they are living unobtrusively under false names, fearful of Beth discovering their whereabouts.

 Soon, the past will catch up with them in dramatic ways. 

I have been reading a lot of thrillers lately and this one was so good - the plot is extremely clever and the writing is superb. An air of tension and edginess is present throughout the story making it thoroughly absorbing. I couldn't wait to pick He Said, She Said up again whenever I set it down. 

Some readers have complained that the story is too slow and drawn out but I didn't find that to be the case. There were a few times when the behavior of Kit and Laura seemed to be too needy and desperate but that all made sense when I reached the end of the book. 

And what an ending! It was such a surprising one that I would never have guessed it, and while it wasn't quite the ending I wanted it didn't detract from the book's appeal at all. 

Recommended.
