The Promise edition by Teresa Driscoll Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews

The Promise is a well written English psychological suspense novel about what happens when long-buried secrets and mistakes haunt the present. So why only 3 stars? I’m getting a little tired of being dragged through a slow first half by a heavily sign-posted secret, ensuring I’ll keep reading, but this trend leaves me feeling resentful and manipulated. I also didn’t like any of the characters and while the reveal largely explains and excuses their actions, by then it was a bit late. I would think it was just me having read too much in this genre lately, but it has had the same rating from most of my friends.

Three girls from modest backgrounds are sent to a strict catholic boarding school for their secondary education and become firm friends. We know from the start that they do something terrible, and promise each other never to tell. More than twenty years later, they are notified that the school is to be demolished by a property developer, and Sally and Beth, who have remained close, are desperate to track down Carol, who has distanced herself and moved to France, to decide what they should do if evidence of their dirty deed is uncovered. They hire a private detective and manage to find Carol, but someone is sending sinister messages warning them off - who else knows the secret they promised to take to the grave?

I don’t want to spoil this as the plot did skilfully keep me in the dark about what was really going on; the “Big Shameful Secret” turns out to be the obvious one - and is revealed exactly two thirds of the way through, at which point things speed up and further revelations and drama livened things up. I did feel sorry for the girls and their past actions made sense, even while their behaviour in the present left a lot to be desired. I couldn’t really understand how such feeble selfish silly women managed to attract and keep such kind, handsome steadfast men but this was eventually more or less explained.

My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
The Promise is available now.
Three girls held a deep, dark secret. Three girls made a promise they vowed to keep forever. Now something and someone is threatening that promise. Will the truth come out or will these women do anything possible to keep their secret hidden forever?

I am a huge Teresa Driscoll fan and have previously rated her books very highly. The Promise is a slow burning psychological suspense novel – not a thriller – but a book filled with plenty of atmospheric drama. The book begins when the three women are at a private girls school. While we don’t actually learn what the secret is, I suspect that most of us can guess. It’s a terrible thing that happens and traumatizing, too, for each of the girls. However, the secret more than the event becomes the catalyst for problems down the road as is generally the case with secrets, right?

Without giving any of the plot away, I will say that I enjoyed The Promise but not nearly as much as I have liked Driscoll’s precious work. While it’s well written, I had a difficult time actually connecting with any of the three women. Perhaps it’s because I’m too bluntly honest for my own good and keeping a secret for a lifetime isn’t something I can conceive of doing. Just deal it already! Despite misgivings, however, I found myself engrossed in their story and I did read it in one very quick sitting. I suspect that if, like me, you are a Driscoll fan then you will like this selection. If you enjoy slow-burning psychological reads then this will be good one for you as well. If, however, you like thrillers, then this one is not for you. It is very much a solid three-star rating from me.
I really enjoy Teresa Driscoll's books. However, this one started slowly and finished with a little bang. You keep thinking get on with it. If read over 50% and still thought she was dragging it out. I hate to write poor reviews but this book is not up to par with her other books.
A beautiful story of friendship and heartbreak. I was surprised at the twists and never saw them coming. Looking forward to more books.
This book was compelling and very realistic. It showed the love of friends willing to do anything for each other. This book also serves as a reminder to be careful what we promise and to who we make that promise. It is also important to know if and when breaking a Promise can be more important than keeping it. In this case breaking the promise could have spared the characters so much anguish and pain.
