The Hit List: The new psychological thriller from the bestselling Holly Seddon | Holly Seddon
3 posts | 2 read | 6 to read
'A compelling and original story with clever and unexpected twists to the very end.' Rachel Abbott What would you do if you found your name on a hitlist? And your late husband put it there? When Marianne's husband Greg is knocked off his bike and killed on the way to work, she must unpick the life he left behind. Numb with grief, Marianne consoles herself by scouring Greg's laptop, finding comfort in reading his old emails and tracing his footsteps across the web. Until one day, she discovers that he had been accessing the dark web. Why was Greg, a principled charity worker and dedicated husband, logging on to a website that showcases the worst of humanity's cruel impulses and where anything is available for a price? Marianne steels herself and logs on. After tentative searching, she discovers her name on a hit list. In this fast-paced, powerful and exceptionally plotted novel, Marianne must figure out whether Greg was trying to protect her or whether he was complicit in the conspiracy for her murder. As she is pulled deeper into the depths of the underworld that Greg was seemingly hostage to, she gets closer and closer to coming face to face with Sam - the assassin hired to kill her. The dark truths that Marianne uncovers speak volumes about the dark underbelly of our society and forces us to question how far we would go to protect those we care most about.

The story is told from the view of several characters: Marianne, Greg, and Sam (the 'hitman'). The first half draws in the reader, keeping you guessing what's going on, but the second half loses its way a little & the ending is also rather over the top. 3⭐

Thanks to NetGalley and publishers, Orion Publishing Group/Trapeze, for the opportunity to read an ARC.

None of the characters can be trusted and they are all excellent characters with multifaceted personalities. The book is told from multiple characters perspectives which I found fascinating. There was a lot going on in The Hit List. I definitely did not figure out who was behind everything until it was revealed. It is very twisted. #NetGalley #ARC #TheHitList #Trapeze #Audiobook
