As we all know the genre of physiological thrillers is highly oversaturated. A lot of the books touted as such are as thrilling as watching Jell-O set. The description of The Night Before definitely caught my attention.

The story introduces us to sisters Rosie (the married mom and responsible one) and Laura (the single, irresponsible, damaged one). After a suspicious breakup with her latest beau, Laura takes a leave from work and moves back to town settling in with Rosie and her family. When you leave your job and boyfriend behind what do you do? How do you get over the loss??? That’s right; you troll online for a new hottie. We read about Laura getting all dolled up to go on a date with a stranger she meets online. She’s making sure everything is perfect, and even though she is hesitant to drive her sister’s minivan on her hot date, she decides to “go big or go home.”

All is well in the world until the next morning. Rosie senses something is amiss. Her hot hubby wants to get some morning nookie, but Rosie decides that hearing about her sister’s possible one-night stand is more important. (Now you know that’s total fiction) The problem is, she can’t find Laura anywhere…. And the twists begin.
The Night Before was the first book I have read by Wendy Walker, and I must say it was a crowd pleaser. I liked that the book was told in alternating viewpoints. The story starts off with one of the sisters visiting a shrink. You know nothing good can come from this story.

If you fancy suspense and a good “Alfred Hitchcock” type cat and mouse game, The Night Before is the book for you.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!
