LoveReading Says
For three years, criminal psychiatrist Tamsin Shaw has lain in a vegetative state where she can’t move or see, but can hear. Everything.
From her bed in her rehabilitation facility, she closely monitors the movements of her visitors: her husband, Jamie; her best friend, Lucia; her boss and friend, Dan; her nurse, Milena; and (most unwelcome) her former patient, Richard. From these visits, she attempts to piece together what is happening, but they’re all hiding crucial information from her.
The Voices by Natalie Chandler is a taut thriller where both the reader and Tamsin try to put together the missing pieces to discover the full story of her life, both before and after the accident. It is told in alternating chapters of “Before” and “Now”. The dual timeline means the story unfolds bit by bit, leaving the reader feeling as though they’re putting together a jigsaw puzzle.
Tamsin’s horrific car accident that opens the book killed her passenger, brought about the premature birth of her daughter and left her in a vegetative state is but one mystery in a book filled with them. The supporting cast of characters are fully drawn, showcasing their complexities, both good and bad. Chandler keeps the action tight, drip feeding just enough information in each short chapter to keep the pages turning.
The Voices is a stunning psychological thriller that will keep readers riveted until its final page.
