Books-on-Tour: What She Did, Carla Kovach

Writer's picture: bobsandbooksbobsandbooks

It's my stop on the Bookouture book tour for What She Did.



Detangling the plot:

Marissa lives alone in her tiny one-bed apartment. It’s quiet and safe; all she’s ever wanted since the night her mother was killed in front of her. But when the police knock on her door with the news that her last remaining family member has been murdered, she comes face to face with the trauma she has spent a lifetime running from.

A witness saw her car outside his house that day, but Marissa knows she’s innocent. She hasn’t seen her uncle in years and remembers going to bed in her own home that night. But she’s had blackouts before and can’t always trust her memory.

Days later, Marissa’s neighbour is found dead in his home with stab wounds all over his body, exactly like her uncle. It was no secret that Marissa didn’t get on with her neighbour, but she’d never want to see him hurt. How can she convince the police that she isn’t a killer? And, as the secrets from her past take hold of her present, is there anyone in her small world she can trust?

As you read, you’ll believe every word Marissa says. You’ll think you know where to draw the line between innocence and guilt. But blame is a dangerous thing, and nothing is ever what it seems…


Bobs and Books honest review:

This one starts off quite creepy and becomes very mysterious. Troubled by her mums murder, Marissa then has some interesting characters enter her life and becomes immediately suspicious. Its very difficult to know who to trust, and its quite clear that Marissa doesn't really appear to trust herself either. This amplifies when objects appear unexpectedly leading to her doubt her own actions. This does move at a good pace and there is a lot of unravelling. I did actually guess the ending but this did not deter from the action and how it all unfolded.
