One Fatal Night by Helene Fermont
One woman’s quest for revenge unearths a fatal secret from her past.
Astrid Jensen holds one man responsible for her mother’s suicide, and she’ll do whatever’s necessary to get close to Daniel Holst and destroy his life – even if it means sleeping with him to gain his trust. Astrid knows he’s not who he pretends to be. But before she can reveal his dark secret, people from her mother’s past start turning up dead, and it looks like she and Daniel are next. In order to survive, she might have to put her trust in the man she has hated for so long.
Daniel Holst has worked hard to climb into Norway’s most elite and glamorous circles, and he’s not about to let any woman bring him down. But when a psychopathic killer starts murdering people from his shadowy past, he discovers that the only person who might be able to save him is the woman who wants to destroy him.
As Astrid digs deeper into her past, she uncovers secrets long buried and realizes everything she once believed is based on lies. What began as a quest to avenge her mother’s death becomes a desperate struggle for survival and leads to the truth about what happened one fatal night ten years ago—and the surprising mastermind behind the most recent murders.
If you're a fan of Gillian Flynn, Liane Moriarty, and Debbie Howells, you'll love this character driven thriller with a noir edge.

Review
‘One Fatal Night’ shows how an action in the past can still affect the future. This was a very quick read and I read it in a oner as you just want to find out as much as possible. It was fast paced and kept you on your toes right until the very end.
I did enjoy how no one turned out to be who you thought they were going to be. I think most characters by the end had done a complete 360’ and that was enjoyable to see how that played out in the narrative. I did think that for the length of the book there was a few too many characters but it was readable all the same. Astrid was my favourite as it shows how easily it is to manipulate someone into your doing and destroy lives in the process. This was especially true to the character that turns out to be the bad guy.
This should be a book that is on your radar.
