Before We Met is a thriller based
on the secrets within a marriage. It
also explores the relationship between siblings. The narrator, Hannah Reilly is happily married
after a whirlwind romance - she met her husband Mark while he was on a business
trip in the US and she was living there.
Now they have moved to his luxurious London home. Mark is a successful businessman running his
own software company and is away on business quite a bit. Hannah is coming to terms with married life
and the loss of her financial independence as she struggles to find a job. The story opens with Hannah waiting at
Heathrow for the arrival of Mark who is flying back from New York. As the passengers file through arrivals we
feel Hannah’s anticipation and then gradually the feeling is replaced by worry as
Mark fails to arrive. The worry is intensified
as Hannah tries unsuccessfully to contact him.
The worry is later replaced by suspicion as Hannah searches for clues as to why Mark has failed to arrive. I found it a fast paced
read.
