A British woman
is shocked to find that a new novel, inexplicably, reveals what she thought was
a deeply-held secret from her past in Renee Knight’s Disclaimer.
Despite what I
think is a poor title, Knight’s novel is a pretty solid thriller (with dashes
of domestic drama) that follows two protagonists; one, the woman whose personal
life has been made fictional, and is being read by family and friends; and the
second a troubled elderly man whose son died saving a child’s life. How their lives intersect in the past and
present, as they tell conflicting stories about the same events, creates
interest.
Knight is deft
at peeling back the onion to a rather shocking event that even an experienced
thriller reader like myself did not see coming.
Nicely done overall.
I borrowed this from the Morrisson-Reeves Public Library in Richmond Indiana.
