One Bad Thing by MK Hill published by Head Of Zeus

Hannah is an agony aunt known as the Queen of Hearts who works on a radio programme, but she’s just been offered her dream job working on a morning TV show. During her last radio broadcast, a caller (Diane) rings in with a tragic story about how her brother committed suicide because two people did something to him years before that he could never quite move on from. Hannah’s blood runs cold as the story seems very familiar to her, as she knows only too well what happened on that night.

Is Diane just sad, or a lonely woman looking for a friend, or does want revenge?

I should start this review by saying that I know MK Hill when we worked together “back in the day” but this is an honest and open review.

This is the first book of MK Hill’s that I’ve read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There are several WTF moments, and when I got to the first one, I squealed with delight as I wasn’t expecting it at all – it was a complete surprise!

There are loads of twists and turns and just when you think you know what’s going on, the story flips again and another bombshell is thrown into the mix.

I initially really like Hannah (the agony aunt, wife and mother version) but I really didn’t like the younger, university and Cam version – she was a true Mean Girl!

I would definitely recommend this to all fans of psychological thrillers, and I have to say I’m extremely proud of my former colleague!
