In this twisty new stand-alone novel from internationally bestselling author Nicci French, a young woman agrees to do a favor for her first love—but when things go horribly wrong, one small task turns into a murder investigation that completely upends her life, ensnaring her in a deadly web of secrets and lies. It’s a simple enough favor. Jude hasn’t seen Liam in years, but when he shows up at her work asking for a favor, she finds she can’t refuse. All Jude has to do is pick Liam up at a country train station—without telling anyone. So what if she has to lie to her fiancé? Jude is still committed to him and their imminent wedding, even if she and Liam were in love once. She owes him. After the car crash that changed everything years ago, bright, ambitious Jude went to medical school, back on the path she had planned before meeting moody, artistic Liam. Meanwhile, he never fully recovered from the dark stain the accident left on his record. Now he’s gone. When the police show up at the station instead of Liam, Jude realizes that she knows nothing about the man he’s become. Now she’s tangled up in his life, the last person to have seen him, and maybe the only one who can uncover the truth about what went wrong—even if she destroys her own life in the process.

Rezension von Senasu CoskunerenI did not really expect much from a basic romcom but it really was such a shallow story. The characters were kind of only there to represent the typical tropes. Everything of the characters was based on their trauma. Especially the ml was so boring and one dimensional. His only character traits were his trauma and possessiveness of the fl. that’s all, I haven’t learned anything else about him. Not only the plot but the writing style threw one off. I felt like the author was describing animal behaviour with all this talk about alpha males, masculinity and unromantic dialogues. Instead of loving the ml, he creeped me out a lot of times. Also I felt like the story villainised the supporting female characters a lot. Like either they were open antagonists like her sisters in law and foster sister or showing toxic behavior like her neighbour in their weird relationships, which kind of came of to me as a bit racist because the only person described as black was this overly sensitive women with ridiculous fights with her boyfriend. Also the whole trauma storylines went nowhere…. Like the ml’s aggression was just justified instead of idk sending him to therapy??? The author just went like he healed with this women whom he only lusts after and children he suddenly decided to want ?
Rezension von SapphiraThe Favor is a book about a businessman seeking marriage of convenience with his PA in order to get his trust fund & the valuables his uncle left for him. Dane Davenport is a cold & calculative businessman who doesn't do anything on impulse, for him everything is premediated. He's morally ambiguous and would do anything to get whatever he wants or in order to keep whatever he deems valuable even if it's his beloved PA. Vienna Stratton is just another employee in Davenport's company, his PA who has been working under him for years now. Seemingly indebted to her boss she has no choice but to agree to the marriage and fake dating when her boss asked her to return the favor. The book has perfect pace with how things progressed between the two, from their fake dating to their real closeness everything is near perfect. I loved how the author didn't encourage miscommunication between the two, given the way her characters are made. Their communication was *chef's kiss* oh and so the chemistry between them! Dane is such a sweetheart omg everyone needs one! And Vienna is a perfect blend of spitfire and sunshine. She is definitely one of my favourite FMCs!
