Double Deceit by Julienne Brouwers


Jennifer Smits is a young mother, married to a hotshot lawyer and living in Amsterdam. Her world explodes when her husband is found dead at a holiday park during a weekend getaway. Convinced that the police have failed in their investigation, she embarks on a desperate quest for the truth - but the deeper she digs, the more she gets enmeshed in a tangled web of lies, spun by a ruthless law firm.


As Jennifer's search for answers intensifies, her grip on reality weakens. Barely able to manage her patients at the health clinic, or take care of her young son, Jennifer is at risk of losing it all – even her closest friends begin to desert her. And then a chance encounter with a charming stranger sparks a new chain of events that plunges her deeper into a world of threats and corruption. Soon, she begins to fear for her life - but who can she trust, and how far will she go in pursuit of the truth?


This is a gripping, addictive thriller for fans of Angela Clarke, Mel Sherratt and Rachel Lynch, that will make you question everything, including the flaws of forensics.

Could we all be framed for a murder we didn’t commit?


REVIEW: Thank you to JB Publishing for the e-ARC of this book in exchange for a review.


This book had me sucked in by the first chapter! The twists and turns in this book were just what I expect in a thriller. It had me stumped for quite awhile which is a plus for me. I loved Jennifer's character. Even though she was going through a devastating loss, she never gave up, never stopped searching. She was strong and fierce and I loved her! The writing was face paced and there was never a dull moment. Every page was important to the story that unfolded within the pages. The characters were incredibly realistic when it came to their anger and confusion over Jennifer's relentless search for information. This is a five star must read for me!
