The Pupil
Description
One moment of carelessness. Four shattered lives. Psychological suspense that explores a labyrinth of lies, manipulation and revenge. Perfect for fans of Louise Jenson and Katerina Diamond.
Literary agent Viola Matthews is sure she's met Katherine Baxter before. So when her husband and bestselling novelist Samuel Morton introduces Viola to the quiet, unassuming woman he has offered to mentor, she knows their paths have crossed before. The question is where?
As their worlds collide and the bond between Samuel and Katherine deepens, Viola realises she must take control.
If Viola is right, then Katherine needs to pay for something that happened twelve years ago.
My Review
Katherine has a crush on her writing instructor, Samuel. Samuel is a famous author. He reciprocates feelings towards Katherine. There is one slight problem...his wife, Viola. Viola won't give up her husband so easily; especially when she recognizes Katherine from the past.
This is the perfect set up for a good thriller. Yet, it fell flat majorly in my eyes with the biggest issue...the characters. There was nothing interesting about any of the three characters. Also, when Katherine was receiving the threating texts, she didn't really react and there was no build up. I kept reading hoping that the story would get better but it was still the same one monotone theme through out the storyline. The ending was fine but as they say "a little too late".
