The Favor by Nora Murphy
🙶Leah and McKenna have never met, though they have parallel lives.
They don’t—ever—find themselves in the same train carriage or meet accidentally at the gym or the coffee shop.
They don’t—ever—discuss their problems and find common ground.
They don’t—ever—acknowledge to each other that although their lives have all the trappings of success, wealth and happiness, they are, in fact, trapped.
Leah understands that what’s inside a home can be far more dangerous than what’s outside. So when she notices someone else who may be starting down the same path she’s on, she pays attention. She watches over McKenna from afar. Until one night she sees more than she bargained for. Leah knows she can’t save herself, but perhaps she can save McKenna.
Leah and McKenna have never met. But they will.🙷
My Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5
I love this book! It grabbed me from the first page and didn't let go until the end. This for me is one of those edge-of-your-seat suspense thrillers with compelling characters. More than that, though, it helps shed light on domestic violence. There really is no typical victim of domestic abuse as anyone can be regardless of gender, background, age, education and so on. I think the author has done a great job researching and writing this novel.
