Psychological Thriller
When a teenage girl is reported missing in Sidmouth, it brings back terrible memories for Felicity. Sixteen years earlier her best friend also went missing and she fled the town in fear. With this new disappearance she now feels compelled to return home to Sidmouth to discover the truth. But nothing is as it seems. Felicity is the only person who holds the answers to the puzzle.
The Heatwave is the first book I've read by Katerina Diamond. I thought it was good, although I did have to suspend disbelief on numerous occasions. But that's ok — it's often the case with twisty psychological thrillers.
The timeline alternated seamlessly between 'past' and 'present' and worked very well. I also enjoyed being drip-fed just enough information to keep me on the edge of my seat wondering how the pieces would fit together. Overall it was an entertaining read.
