And So It Begins: A brilliant psychological thriller that twists and turns (Stephanie King Book 1)

Product Information

So It Begins” was first written about on Urban Dictionary in 2009, marking the ascension of the phrase into pop culture and internet lingo. It became a meme after a post on Reddit in 2013, on which a child was displayed, standing next to a pole, on a table.

I didn't really like either of the main two female characters, but I am not sure I was supposed to. Evie and Mark are a couple with an infant daughter. Mark's first wife died accidentally and he is now a wealthy photographer in a magnificent house overlooking the sea. All in the house is not as it appears though and the story of Evie and Mark unravels slowly and with great suspense. Well to say I am super impressed and a bit disappointed with myself for not reading any Rachel Abbott books before now, is an understatement, and I now need to catch up on previous books.Mark is a photographer and Evie commissions him to take pictures of her. They become close, fall in love and when Evie becomes pregnant she finally moves in with him. His stunning house was from his previous marriage and his former wife was found tragically dead at the bottom of the stairs leading down to the gym area. Cleo, Mark’s sister, disapproves of the relationship from the beginning. All the characters are well drawn and narrative races along. I'm looking forward to reading more about Stephanie King. Highly recommended. Fantastic. I genuinely couldn't tell who was telling the truth, to us or to themself, and who was lying. The twists and turns continue right to the very end, and are rarely predictable. The characters are well drawn and believable. It was a little slow to start with, but for me this helped to build the story and it turned out to be a rollercoaster with a brilliant ending.

Oh, this is a great story. You genuinely don't guess who's who or what's what till it's spelled out for you - which doesn't happen soon, I assure you.Evie is either the clumsiest woman in the universe, or there’s something sinister going on behind closed doors. She claims her marriage with Mark is just fine, and basically nothing to see here. So when the dude ends up dead in a puddle of his own blood in the bedroom of his own oh-so-oppressive cliff house, eyebrows are raised. The genesis and maturation of a planet, its poise and orbit, the bended tree recovering itself from the strong wind, the vital resources of every animal and vegetable, are demonstrations of the self-sufficing, and therefore self-relying soul.

I have read the previous seven Rachel Abbott novels and found them all compelling reading and thoroughly enjoyable. ‘And So It Begins’ is as good, if not better than the others. There’s nothing more thrilling than reading a psychological thriller that is deliciously twisted, one that literally leaves your head in a spin, and a plot that’s big on the unpredictable And So It Begins by Rachel Abbott fits the bill perfectly. Evie Clarke meets Mark, a reclusive widower, and they soon become a couple. Mark starts to feel he has a future after the accidental death of his first wife. There’s only one fly in the ointment, and comes in the shape of Cleo, Mark's overprotective sister, who is is mistrustful of Evie from the start. What first appears to be a fairly straightforward story of a marriage gone wrong soon ascends into something darker and far more disturbing. So It Begins” adds weight to the moment, expressing the fear and despair, lurking in the defenders of mankind, facing off agains the orks of Saruman. So It Begins is one of the most memorable quotes from the legendary “ Lord of the Rings” trilogy. The phrase is uttered by the stress ridden King Théoden in the second installment of the story, right before the Battle of Helm’s Deep. When Evie starts having accidents at home, her friends grow concerned. Could Mark be causing her injuries? Called out to their cliff-top house one night, Sergeant Stephanie King finds two bodies entangled on blood-drenched sheets.With events moving towards a showdown with the Shadows, Kosh expressed concerns regarding Delenn (whether she was the right person for the task ahead). He insisted that she submit to an Inquisitor, in a process that could kill her if she was indeed the wrong person. Delenn agreed, survived the process, and was endorsed by the Inquisitor.
