DESCRIPTION:
I trusted her. I shouldn’t have…
Samantha Valentine didn’t drift into my life, she collided with it. Soon it was like we had been friends forever. She told me everything about her perfect life, but I always felt there was something she was leaving out.
Then one night, I get a frantic call from Samantha, hysterical and begging me to protect her from her boyfriend. Rushing to her house, instinct takes over and soon my heart is hammering out of my chest as I stand over the body of a man I had never met before this evening.
But by the time the police arrive, Samantha has vanished. The officers tell me that there is no record of her anywhere. The woman I thought was my friend has tricked me into killing a perfect stranger.
As the police slip the handcuffs on my wrists, I know I’ve made a terrible mistake. By protecting a woman I never really knew, I’ve destroyed my life. Who is Samantha really, and why did she make me do this? She’s taken everything from me, but she has no idea how far I will go to get the truth…
A gripping and page-turning psychological thriller absolutely packed with twists. Perfect for fans of T.M. Logan, Frieda McFadden and Daniel Hurst.

MY THOUGHTS:
She Made Me Do It, the ninth book in the Dan Riley series, is a complex and intricate read, much like an elaborately twisted pretzel. While it may not be as straightforward as a typical police procedural, it’s easy to connect with Dan, learn about his family, and understand his unique approach to connecting with victims.
Even without having read the earlier books in the series, I found it effortless to step into this world and fully engage with both the story and its characters.
Brevity is key with this one, so I’ll keep it simple: this is an excellent, relentlessly twisty novel that holds your attention from the very first page to the last.
Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
Obsessed with all things crime related, her adult fiction titles include Chelsea Wives and Wicked Wives, both published by Avon in the UK and Bookouture in the US and Canada, Pleasure Island published by Bookouture, and Black Heart, The Couple on Cedar Close and The Stranger’s Wife (featuring DI Dan Riley) published by Bookouture.
She lives in London with her partner, her two sons and her beloved dachshund, Iggy.
