Description

The book explain really well why women stay in abusive relationship, and why it’s not so simple just to leave.

I’d always thought of domestic abuse as something that happened to ‘other people’, but it affects many couples and families from every part of society and is often very well hidden. This is a suspenseful story and their narration definitely added to my heart beating awfully fast more than once. He doesn’t get out while he can, instead the gradual process of the water heating hides the fact he’s in real danger. Sylvia, on the other hand, couldn’t convince me to like her at all, from start to the end—which is a good thing since that’s the kind of person it seems like she’s supposed to be, despite her later change.

Though before his true personality began to surface, Catherine fell in love with his more charming aspects. I listened to the audio version that is narrated by David Thorpe and Karen Cass who do an awesome job.

The prime players are fully developed with the changes from happy Catherine to crippled Cathy appallingly frightening. Thankfully starvation swiftly changed to gluttony when we got our hands on the book, as this is a compulsive thriller with sufficient twists and plot turns to keep the most action-avaricious of readers satisfied. The two different time periods are written in a slightly different format showing the chilling tale of a woman slowly slipping into her darkest corner, then showing her trying to recover from all the damage.

From its uncompromising prologue – a young woman being bludgeoned to death in a ditch – Haynes's powerful account of domestic violence is disquieting, yet unsensationalist.

There’s real dramatic tension in this book and when I got to the end the first thing that I did was to turn back to the beginning again.

Elizabeth Haynes is also the author of Revenge of the Tide, Human Remains, Never Aloneand The Murder of Harriet Monckton. USA paperbackCatherine has been enjoying the single life for long enough to know a good catch when she sees one. When she started talking to Sylvia and she tried to let her know that she believed her I just didn’t care about Sylvia.

Into the Darkest Corner is a very well done psychological thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat.Cathy has OCD but her OCD doesn’t do anything with checking windows, curtains and her flat door six times a day! It’s well written, and the author’s knowledge of the issues surrounding domestic violence shines through. It's quite lengthy and if you're interrupted you have to start again, but when you've done it you feel calmer.
