Book Review by Judi Singleton The One You Love by Emma Holden










 The One You Love (Emma Holden Suspense Mystery Trilogy, Book 1) [Kindle Edition]


Book Description


 December 25, 2013
Emma Holden's nightmare has just begun. Her fiancé vanishes, leaving the battered and bloodied body of his brother in their London apartment. Someone is stalking her, watching her every move. And her family is hiding a horrifying secret; a secret that threatens all those she loves. In a desperate race against time, Emma must uncover the truth if she ever wants to see her fiancé alive again. 

Full of twists, turns and cliff-hangers, The One You Love is the first novel in the Emma Holden suspense mystery trilogy. This fast-paced romantic suspense mystery has been downloaded over three million times, and has spent over two and a half years in the UK and US Kindle top 100 free chart, reaching number one in both countries and spending one full month there in the UK (July-August 2011). In 2014 it reached number 1 in the official UK paperback "Heat seekers" Chart. 

Outside North America the Emma Holden trilogy is published by the international publisher, Hodder and Stoughton (Hachette). The version here has been professionally copy edited and is identical to that published by Hachette in the UK and elsewhere. This addresses issues relating to grammar and spelling, as mentioned in early reviews. The novel uses British English spelling and grammar, so there are differences to US English (for example: favour, colour, grey, organise, rather than favor, color, gray, organize). 

"It's rare to find a thriller writer who can simultaneous propel us readers forward at a breakneck pace and yet engage our minds as we unravel puzzles brilliantly seeded through the story. Pilkington does just this. The One You Love will captivate and keep you up nights." Jeffery Deaver, internationally bestselling author of the Lincoln Rhyme novels.

"An excellent read which I thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to all lovers of thrillers." (four stars, Amazon.co.uk) 



"...fast-paced and intricately plotted...the lead character Sam Becker is a likable, convincing protagonist." (five stars, Amazon.co.uk) 



"I loved this one! A super novel which kept me up at night! Did not want to put it down until I'd read the next chapter, so much sleep lost!" (five stars, Amazon.co.uk) 



"Seriously, my co-workers were laughing at me as I came back from a break this morning because I was still staring at my phone (with Kindle app) as I walked down the hall back to my desk. I just could not stop reading. Very suspenseful, so much so, that I'm sorry I've finished it." (five stars, Amazon.com) 

Judi's Review of this book

I read this book because it was very well written but it sure did not carry me away. Well I guess not every book like every person will be a hit with you.   This book was  fast paced and the characters were well developed.    I like a good character. But I just felt like I was crawling through pudding to get to the story. I wanted to shout at the book and throw it across the room and say make something exciting happen.
