Blog Tour: You Had It Coming by B M Carroll

*I received an e-copy free of charge to enable me to take part in the blog tour. Today I'm on the blog tour for You Had It Coming by B M Carroll*.

WOULD YOU SAVE THE MAN

WHO DESTROYED YOUR LIFE?

When paramedic Megan Lowe is called to the scene of an attempted murder, all she can do is try to save the victim. But as the man is lifted onto a stretcher, she realises she knows him. She despises him. Why should she save his life when he destroyed hers?

Jess Foster is on her way home when she receives a text from Megan. Once best friends, the two women haven't been close for years, not since the night when they were just the teenage girls whom no-one believed; whose reputations were ruined. All Jess can think is, you had it coming.

Now Megan and Jess are at the centre of a murder investigation. But what secrets are they hiding? Can they trust one another? And who really is the victim?

Perfect for fans of C.L. Taylor, Lucy Foley and Lisa Hall, You Had It Coming is a thrilling tale of suspense and dark secrets.

My thoughts?

Wow I couldn't put this fast paced and twisty read down! Megan is a paramedic and with her partner is called out to a shooting. When they get there she realises she knows this guy. He's a barrister who ruined her and her friend Jess's lives and reputations all those years ago after the party which saw their attackers get off scot free. 

She finds it weird that she was the one to attend to him and she contacts Jess, whom she's lost contact with. Jess an ex-boxer and boxing coach finds it equally weird. The story jumps between the two girls and Bridget, the cop, whom I thought was a good character.

One of their attackers tries to contact both girls in order to meet up. They both think this is weird  Why would Dylan want to see them now, and what can he say which will make things right? 

I did guess from earlier narrative who the killer was but regardless of this I found the story fast paced, with interesting characters and gripping storylines.
