I am thrilled to be hosting a spot on the TRULY, DARKLY, DEEPLY by Victoria Selman Blog Tour hosted by Rockstar Book Tours. Check out my post and make sure to enter the giveaway!
A taut, breakout psychological thriller with a wicked twist.
Matty Melgren is a convicted serial killer serving life without parole for the
murders of several women in London in the 1980s. He has consistently protested
his innocence, and the evidence against him was largely circumstantial. At the
time of his arrest, Matty’s girlfriend was Amelia-Rose, a single mother to
12-year-old Sophie. Sophie adores Matty. He’s handsome, funny, respectable—she
could never suspect him of the brutal killings in the headlines. Then a police
sketch of a suspect is released that looks a lot like Matty. Was it him? Sophie
is consumed with doubt and guilt, causing her to act impulsively, ripping her
family apart. Years later, she is still haunted by her actions. Was she wrong
to have done what she did all those years ago? Then Sophie receives a letter
from Matty—he’s dying and asks her to visit him in prison. Will she finally get
the answers she needs to be able to reclaim her future?
Already a bestseller in the UK, this twisty, true crime-inspired mystery
thriller is perfect for fans of page-turning crime books like The Last
Thing He Told Me or Before I Go to Sleep, or readers of
serial killer books about Ted Bundy and other infamous murderers.
TRULY, DARKLY, DEEPLY has a plot similar to a made-for-television true-crime movie from the 1990s, but without the kitsch. Another significant distinction is that this tale is entirely fictional.
The novel hops back and forth between two time periods, the early 1980s and twenty years later, so it took me a few chapters to get a feel for Victoria Selman's writing style, and it took about the same amount of time for me to become immersed in the plot. There were never any date headers to indicate the frequent time jumps.
Overall, I enjoyed the "idea" of TRULY, DARKLY, DEEPLY but was disappointed by how it played out; though, there was just enough meat on the bones to keep me interested in it. ╌★★★✰✰
