The central source of motivation for sticking hard to this novel is the uncertainty over Layla’s disappearance. While Ellen, Finn’s wife to be, is also questionable in her actions and behaviour. The unknown narrator adds a welcome shroud of mystery to the tale. There is also a female narrator and an unknown voice dictating the events in this novel. Overall, Finn is a well composed protagonist. In Bring Me Back, the reader is led to question everyone and everything! Seeing the events of the novels through the male character of Finn’s eyes, enables the reader to understand Finn’s personality and his situation in greater detail. I think this is the angle Paris is going with. Finn is still a narrator I couldn’t quite trust and I was never sure just how truthful he was about the events that occurred in the past. The book is primarily narrated by a male character, Finn, instead of the unreliable female narrators that featured in the previous books by Paris. I did find Bring Me Back a different novel on the whole to the Behind Closed Doors and The Breakdown. Her latest certainly kept me busy but I felt a little more distanced from this latest one in comparison to my absorbing reading experiences of the previous two novels by the same author. In terms of domestic thrillers and the psychological thriller genre, B A Paris is leading the way. In the past I have read and highly rated both Behind Closed Doors and The Breakdown by B A Paris. I was a pleased as punch when I received word from the Australian publisher of Bring Me Back, Harper Collins that I would be receiving the new book by B A Paris to review. Now, strange events and objects are appearing, warning Finn that the truth can only stay buried for so long. Worrying that suspicion would be cast on him as the source as Layla’s disappearance, Finn did not tell the police the full story of what happened that fateful night. In the present day, Finn is set to marry Ellen, the sister of his girlfriend Layla who disappeared one night twelve years ago. Bring Me Back also travels back and forth to the past and present day. This time around, B A Paris brings us more than one unreliable narrator to contend with. I desperately wanted to cancel my plans, turn my phone off and simply read this riveting new thriller. I only wish life didn’t get in the way during the time I read Bring Me Back. The publisher of the third and latest novel by psychological thriller extraordinaire B A Paris has attached the hashtag #Forget Sleep to Bring Me Back. He told the police the truth about that night.īut his past won’t stay buried… My review: Twelve years ago Finn’s girlfriend disappeared. Genres: Fiction, Contemporary, Mystery, Suspense, Thriller Publisher: Harper Collins Books Australia
