Disclaimer: The astonishing Sunday Times No.1 Bestseller, perfect for fans of Anatomy of a Scandal

Product Information

Now that the past Catherine so desperately wants to forget is catching up with her, her world is falling apart. The book portrayed Catherine as entirely to blame for this death, though the terms used and the vitriol of the way she is blamed, warns the reader to not entirely trust the book’s author. I 'thought' I wrote a review --- (isn't the first time the the ghost buster ate them) -- but 'thanks' go to Maureen for the reminder today! If someone had told me the entire plot before I had read the book, I would have probably not bought it and would have labeled it a woman's type of novel.

Stephen wears the cardigan that Nancy always wore and talks to the dead Nancy under the delusion that she is still in the house with him… Nancy had never recovered from Jonathan’s death and their relationship had never been the same afterward. Her husband and son seem like strangers, her job fades into insignificance and her aging mother is in the early stages of dementia. There can be no doubt that Renee Knight's original premise and the slow burning revelations will keep readers keen to know just what is around the next corner and there are plenty of surprises. Disclaimer forms a trinity alongside Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train as the best of domestic noir . Stephen is shocked and appalled by what he reads of Nancy’s version of events, and thinks that justice can only be served if the one responsible for his son’s death is made to ‘pay’.I've mentioned several times before that I'm not normally keen on stories set in ‘Blighty’ - just too close to home. I fall firmly into the former camp - this book IS like Gone Girl in the sense that I had absolutely no interest or sympathy for the characters whatsoever.

She is a graduate of the Faber Academy ‘Writing a Novel’ course, and lives in London with her husband and two children. Catherine loses the plot big time and Stephen becomes quite manic as the thriller races to its completion. However, I must say even though I loved the concept, the development of the characters and the story’s pace, I was just tiny bit disappointed with the ending. As it starts, we meet a documentary filmmaker named Catherine Ravenscroft who is in the midst of being violently sick. But Disclaimer fails too as a domestic drama, that kind where an indiscretion from a character’s past is unexpectedly revealed, threatening her marriage.

The mounting evidence of ever more and ever worse skulduggery will pull Tempe deeper and deeper down what even she sees as a rabbit hole before she confronts a ringleader implicated in “Drugs. I can’t say I felt connected to any of the characters, but the story was so intense and gripping, that I really didn’t think much about the characters’ flaws. At first it's not obvious how the two of them would be linked, but as Stephen's perspective advances — it began two years before Catherine's — the conections are made clear. Disclaimer plunges us into our worst nightmare -- somebody knows our darkest secret, and they're sharing it .
