EVERY SAINT HAS A PAST
To the unsuspecting eye Dee Stephens has a perfect life as the vicar's wife: a devoted marriage to her charismatic husband Reverend Vincent, an adoring congregation and a beautiful daughter.
EVERY SINNER HAS A FUTURE
But beneath the surface, Dee is suffocating. Vincent is in control, and he knows her every sin. Desperate, Dee escapes into a heady affair with Cal, an old schoolmate.
EVERY CONFESSION HAS A PRICE
But is Cal the saviour she thinks he is? What dark secrets does he harbour? And to what lengths will Vincent go to when he uncovers the truth?
What did I think?
The Sinner is absolutely riveting. It is filled with secrets, lies and deception so it is just the kind of book I love: a book that's difficult to put down and impossible to predict.
Dee is a very interesting main character; she really dislikes her role as vicar's wife, almost as much as she dislikes her mother-in-law. The fractious relationship between the two women was beautifully described by Caroline England and I could totally see why Dee felt the need to escape into Cal's arms. It's really difficult to talk about the plot without releasing any spoilers, so that's all I'm saying about it.
From the front cover design to the writing inside, The Sinner is completely flawless. I was captivated from start to finish by both the intriguing characters and the compelling plot. I absolutely raced through it as I just had to wring out every last secret hidden within the pages.
I've read a few Caroline England books over the years and The Sinner is definitely one of her best, although the others are all brilliant too. I really wasn't expecting some of the twists and turns, and there are a lot of them, which will surprise and delight thriller fans. The Sinner is a hugely enjoyable novel and one I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
I received an ARC to read and review for the blog tour; this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
