Relation Toward Books The Bed I Made
One stifling night in a bar in Soho, Kate meets Richard - powerful, sensual Richard. Going home with him that night is reckless and exhilarating, their connection electric. Now, 18 months later, Kate is fleeing London for an old coastguard's cottage on the Isle of Wight, determined to forget Richard for ever. In winter, however, the island is locked down, wary of outsiders, and there is little to distract her from her memories. Within days, a local woman, Alice Frewin, goes missing from her boat, and though no body is found there are whispers of suicide. Kate is quickly drawn into Alice's world but all the time Richard - powerful, unstable Richard - looms larger and larger over her own...

A good read, but quite a long book which could perhaps have been reduced slightly, although the plot does makes you want to read on as she provides sufficient clues and intrigues into the characters and the background to where the story starts. Sometimes I think it got a bit bogged down in all the Isle of Wight location descriptions though, and, although it would obviously have spoiled the plot and story, I did lose a bit of patience with Kate for not having reported any of the incidents*Spoilers*I enjoyed this book most of the way through, until I realised I was only 20 pages from the end and the notorious Richard had yet to make his reappearance, which was inevitably going to happen. Anyway, following the rushed and ridiculous revelation that he'd been dating Katie's best friend, he popped up a few pages later for a hurried confrontation, getting beat up and sent to jail in a heartbeat so that Katie and Pete could live happily ever after.Very similar to Whitehouse's 'The
An enjoyable read, but not as thrilling or suspenseful as the author's previous book, The House at Midnight. However, a protagonist who is easy to sympathize with, a realistic plot line, and the author's descriptive writing make it worth a read.
SPOILERS CONTAINED HEREIN! My mum lent me this book because I'd just returned from a holiday in the lovely Isle of Wight (a most beautiful place) and I've got to say that the main thing I enjoyed in the book was revisiting the locations I am now familiar with through Whitehouse's prose; particularly being as we stayed in some eerily similar cottages (and encountered an equally eerily similar cat as the one in Whitehouse's novel) during our hols, in Yarmouth. (It made me question if the author
After being disappointed by The House at Midnight, I thought to give Lucie Whitehouse another chance with The Bed I Made, especially to see what she made of the Isle of Wight as a setting. Other than drinking at the Island Sailing Club during Cowes Week, most of my experiences of the IOW have been from a yacht, & I was eager to find out what it might be like to live in Yarmouth during the off season. Found that bleak and fascinating.Unfortunately the story itself was too unlikely to be
This started really slowly, I read the first chapter four times before it went inI'm so glad I didn't give up on this though, it was a good read :)Psycho boyfriend, fiesty main character and s bit of a love story. Enjoyable :)
