A winding thriller that delves into tough emotional topics…
A victim of sexual abuse embarks on a revenge journey, determined to make those who have wronged her pay heavily in Williamsson’s engrossing thriller. Chique, a lifetime victim of relentless abuse, snaps and murders her sadistic boss and secret lover. Panicked, she turns to the only person she thinks might help her, Mary van Ark, the wealthy socialite wife of her late boss. But Mary is not at all what she seems. Chique quickly becomes a pawn in Mary’ sinister game. With nothing left to lose, Chique sets out on a dangerous quest for revenge, determined to make those who have wronged her pay dearly. Williamsson expertly conveys the intense emotions of Chique – tension, overwhelming anxiety, and seething rage – as she struggles to cope with the ultimate betrayal from those closest to her. Chique’s haunting first-person voice injects raw emotion and relentless tension into her story, as she details her descent into isolation and desperate search for comfort through violent and destructive sexual encounters. The book forces us to confront the chilling reality that monsters walk among us – seemingly normal individuals with sinister intentions. It delves deeply into the darkness and intricacies of human nature and begs the question: is it easier to ignore the truth or confront it head on? Depictions of incest and explicit and graphic descriptions of mature sexual content demands readers’ discretion. A gripping read that skillfully explores the devastating aftermath of childhood sexual abuse, while tackling tough themes of complex family dynamics, trauma and its lasting effects, violence, and political power-play.
