Book: Behind You

Author: Mike Omer

Thank you NetGalley and Brilliance Publishing for an advanced audio copy.

Behind You is a terrific thriller that started out intriguing with just the right amount of confusion and finished with an excellent conclusion.

At age seventeen Theodora ran away from home. Her friend was murdered and she is the main suspect. Her memory of the night is hazy and even she thinks she may have done it. Thirteen years later Theodora now goes by Gemma and has started a new life. She is a wife and a mother and has tried hard to put her old life behind her. 

Random people and even people close to her start to call her by her old name and also start to mention events from her old life. It was confusing but in the best way. At one point her son even tells her a story about her past. I was asking so many questions but I couldn’t put it down. I had to find out how her secret got out. 

There were a lot of twists and turns and each one was better than the next. This was my first book by Omer but I will definitely check out another one. This book was well written and an excellent thrill ride I can’t recommend it enough. 

Final score: 5/5
