Martin (not his real name), like many others, leads a double life. By day, he’s a rather average middle-aged man who runs a business installing and repairing climate systems. He’s also married and is a reasonably good husband and provider. But he has a darker side; it may be due to his upbringing, but he likes to dress up in a school uniform and be spanked and punished by a matronly woman. He found that person, a lady he calls Aunt Susan (which he suspects is not her real name), who offers discreet services from her house. On his latest visit to her place, everything changes. There are police cars out front. It appears Aunt Susan has been killed. This incident encourages Martin to narrate his story. Somewhere along the way, the reader will start to feel like Martin is keeping things from them, and they’d be right. What’s the truth? Find out in The Death of Aunt Susan by A M Middle.
Some psychological thrillers are not for the faint of heart, so be prepared to look at a side of London society that you may never have known existed. Martin’s story (or confession as the book’s subtitle suggests) takes readers on a journey of suburban people with predilections that many others may or may not understand. It’s told in the first person, so the reader gets a glimpse inside Martin’s mind and gets to understand why he makes the decisions he does, whether they agree with them or not. A M Middle doesn’t just write Martin’s tale; there’s a second story going on regarding the court case of a man who killed his wife and children and confessed to it via a 999 call. Even this story isn’t what it seems. The Death of Aunt Susan is a mind-opening psychological thriller that’ll make you look at others in your neighborhood in a totally different way. Highly recommended.
