When She Was Good: The heart-stopping Richard & Judy Book Club thriller from the No.1 bestseller (Cyrus Haven)

An amazing series , you must read every book! Obsessed with Cyrus Haven and these fascinating stories

I bought this first without purchasing the first book which is important when establishing the relationship between Cyrus. An interesting plot which is developed in this book. Easy to read, wasn’t too taxing but lost a star because it lacked oomph and the plot was a little slow, and elongated in places. Yes you got answers but the ending was open. Worth a read but read the first one before so you can understand the dynamic.

I just love this series. As other reviewers have said, you need to have read the first book to understand the relationship between Cyrus & Evie. We find out more about both of them in this book. Again Cyrus is helping the police track down a twisted killer or 2. Along the way both he & Evie put themselves into serious danger, as secrets from her past threaten to catch up with them. As you'd expect, both guilty & innocent people die during the course of events. Page turning thriller that keeps you guessing. As the ending left me wanting more I was glad that I'd ordered the next in the series whiilst reading this one. I've since found there's a 4th book out now, which I expect to be buying at some point in the future. 5 stars from me for a thoroughly entertaining read again.

I loved this book, such a great follow on from the original. The character of Evie gets better with each book. The plot is so cleverly written. So many different characters and yet they slit together seamlessly. The horrors of Evie's life are heartbreaking, but you can't stop reading. You get drawn right into the story. Look out book 3 here i come.

**4.5 Stars** This is book 2 of 4 in the ‘Cyrus Haven’ series. He is a Forensic Psychologist who is like a dog with a bone. He went through a childhood trauma that in a way gives him a connection to Evie Cormac. Evie went through a horrific past that is being uncovered as the book progresses. She has a gift that so far only Cyrus understands. She wants to trust him but her past makes her understandably guarded. Cyrus knows there is still so much she has not revealed. He still does not know her real name. The people that were involved in Evie’s past want her dead. These are people high up who have influence. In Cyrus’s bid to find out the truth it means that even though he works with the police he trusts very few of them. As more is revealed in his quest to help Evie by revisiting a place from her past, will he wish he never tried to lift this terrible can of worms as they both end up in danger…..

This is the second book of a four book series and will make more sense if you’ve already read Book 1. Evie has been through terrible times, she lives in constant fear, trusting no one with good reason. Cyrus Haven is a consultant psychologist and in Book 1 Evie was released into his custody. Now it seems he is the one person who can protect her. This book moves at break neck speed from one frightening incident to the next as they try to keep one step ahead of powerful enemies. No one can be trusted. The story is interspersed with flashbacks of a young girl, terrified but determined to survive. The story races along, it takes a couple of chapters to set the scene and then you won’t want to put it down.

Ok

An exciting story but also a lot of insight into memory and truth. But also an unusual and exciting story.
