If she’d turned off her phone, instead of listening in, perhaps no one would have died…

When Cressida Howard catches her entrepreneur husband playing away from home, she hires security expert Brioni O’Brien to get the evidence she needs for a speedy and financially rewarding divorce.

But what Brioni uncovers goes beyond simple infidelity. Because Laurence Howard is also in bed with some very dangerous people. Bribery and blackmail are the least of his worries as someone comes after the women in his life – someone who is out to destroy Laurence and his empire, whatever the cost.

And Cressida and her teenage daughter could soon be collateral damage if she and Brioni don’t act fast.

Official Summary

13 January 2022

My third blog tour for the year and this title has everything needed to keep a thriller fan entertained. Infidelity, dodgy business deals, cybercrime, murder and suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. You are going to love Remember My Name by Sam Blake. This is a book I flew through even when I was not spending a lot of time reading.

This was my first Sam Blake read and I was quickly engrossed in this intriguing, detailed read. I enjoyed the pace and the way you never knew what was coming next. Reading this book during my December break I found myself frustrated that family time interrupted my reading. This is a book you do not want to put down, each chapter left me eager for more.

Cressida has it all – a successful, handsome husband, a beautiful home and a teenage daughter with just enough attitude to keep her on her toes. Life should be perfect. The only problem is, she is married to Laurence, a workaholic who is never at home. When he calls to let her know that he will not be coming home yet again, she hears a woman’s voice in the background. That phone call changed everything.

Determined to find the truth about her husband and the woman she heard on the phone, Cressida enlists the help of a cybersecurity expert. Brioni might be young, and her bright pink hair might keep you distracted, but she knows what she is doing. It does not take her long to gain access to Laurence’s computer. Cressida and Brioni expected to find proof of infidelity, they did not expect the dark and dangerous world they uncovered. The danger is closing in, and Cressida needs to protect her daughter.

I loved how difficult it was to drag myself away from this book. The story had me hooked from start to finish and I didn’t want to put this book down.

I loved the women in this book. The author created a cast of very different women, yet they were strong and determined to succeed, never giving up. Even Emily-Jane, Cressida’s seventeen-year-old daughter was a strong, creative young woman that brought a surprising twist to this story.

I loved this book and look forward to the chance to read more of this author’s work. I highly recommend this book. Thriller fans will find themselves quickly engrossed in this twisty, complex tale that delivers twist after twist. Be warned, you are most likely going to lose some sleep with this one.
