Back cover blurb: Anna Wright, a 30-something uber-successful media executive in London,
loves her dog, Wispa, and she loves to run. Anna is recently single
after ending her three-year relationship with doting James. A
spontaneous tryst becomes the catalyst for a series of crimes on Anna’s
running route. This illicit liaison becomes Anna’s obsession, ultimately plunging her into a subversive, oppressive reality.
Rebound is a gripping novel that explores a different side to the usual thriller novel - the guilt of the victim.
I was lucky enough to read this novel some time ago, but wanted to wait until nearer publication to post my review as this is sure to be one of the crime/thriller books of 2016.

Interestingly it leaves a few unanswered questions at the end, which I would usually hate, but in this case I felt it only added more to the novel.
