TRUST NO ONE
Paul Cleave

Reviewed by Tanzey Cutter
Posted July 19, 2015

Thriller Psychological

In Christchurch, New Zealand, crime novelist Jerry Grey, writing as Henry Cutter, has found out he has early-onset Alzheimer's at the age of 49. Coming to terms with his disease has Jerry, as well as his wife and adult daughter, making many adjustments to their lifestyle. Not knowing how much time he has, whenever Jerry is cognizant, he writes personal feelings about his situation in a "Madness Journal" for the Future Jerry to refer to when times get bad.

In his dementia, the worlds Jerry created in his novels start to seem real, as if he's lived them. And the sense he's actually killed someone is too real to ignore. Has he been writing what he's experienced? When Jerry starts claiming he's actually committed the brutal murders he's written about in his books, no one believes him because of his illness. Could he really be killing these people, or is something else more sinister at work behind the scenes?

Paul Cleave's TRUST NO ONE is a dynamic psychological thriller from the opening paragraph to its shocking conclusion. With spellbinding narrative and expert plot progression, Cleave keeps readers wondering what is true and what is fabrication as Jerry struggles to deal with his dementia and the world around him. Character development is exemplary, as each person plays an important role in this exceptional thriller. I became so immersed in TRUST NO ONE, I could not put it down. Highly recommended reading!

SUMMARY

In the exciting new psychological thriller by the Edgar- nominated author of Joe Victim, a famous crime writer struggles to differentiate between his own reality and the frightening plot lines he’s created for the page. Jerry Grey is known to most of the world by his crime writing pseudonym, Henry Cutterβ€”a name that has been keeping readers at the edge of their seats for more than a decade. Recently diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s at the age of 49, Jerry’s crime writing days are coming to an end. His 12 books tell stories of brutal murders committed by bad men, of a world out of balance, of victims finding the darkest forms of justice. As his dementia begins to break down the wall between his life and the lives of the characters he has created, Jerry confesses his worst secret: The stories are real. He knows this because he committed the crimes. Those close to him, including the nurses at the care home where he now lives, insist that it is all in his head, that his memory is being toyed with and manipulated by his unfortunate disease. But if that were true, then why are so many bad things happening? Why are people dying?
