The Savior: Women With Deadly Secrets by Abdellatif Radja is a shocking psychological thriller that will leave you reeling. A well-crafted story, it delves into difficult subjects with empathy and offers readers a story that will stay with them for a long time. The characters are well-rounded, realistic people with real lives and fully developed backstories that come out gradually throughout the story. The book moves between the past and present and tells the story from both the main protagonists’ points of view, which really helps you to understand the plot. It has plenty of twists and turns and, while it starts off slow and gentle, it soon heats up and turns darker. It is a well-paced story that keeps you guessing all the way. I highly recommend this for fans of psychological thrillers and true-to-life stories.
