Book Review – The Confession by Jo Spain

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  It is being published in September, 2018.

I had been looking forward to getting my hands on this book for months and it did not disappoint.  The book opens with married couple Julie and Harry having a quiet night in watching television.  Suddenly an intruder appears in their living room with a golf club in his hands.  He proceeds to start bludgeoning Harry until he is a bloody pulp while Julie looks on in shock.  The intruder then drops the golf club, leaves the house and promptly turns himself into police.  He confesses his crime but states that he “just snapped” and did not know the man he assaulted.  It is hard to imagine someone committing such a violent crime and not know the victim.  So, do the perpetrator, Harry and Julie know each other and if so, what is their connection and why did he assault Harry?  I read this book while on a cruise and I found it extremely difficult to put it down in order to go out on tours and exploring.  Loved this thriller!
