About The Book
A perfect sunny day, a family celebration, a heart-stopping hour that changes everything…
Dana has all she ever wanted – a husband she loves, her four-year-old daughter Kelsey who is the apple of her eye, and another baby on the way to complete her perfect family.
But then the worst fear that Dana has, comes true, and everything she thought she knew, she now starts to doubt. As her world comes crashing around her, who can Dana trust?
Her husband Logan who seems to be getting worryingly close to Dana’s best friend Pippa?
Her new friend Melanie who has a sinister habit of turning up in the strangest places?
Her parents and her sister, who Dana knows are keeping a terrible secret from her?
Matt, who says he’s Dana’s friend, but sometimes she’s not so sure?
Or will Dana discover that it’s a dangerous mistake to trust anyone…
Join Kirsty Ferguson on this heart-stopping, plot-twisting, roller coaster read, perfect for fans of Shari Lapena and Adele Parks.
My Review
This book kept me gripped but also left me frustrated in equal measure. I loved the idea of everyone lying to the main character and her trying to work out who to trust. The action kept me gripped as she tried to work out exactly who was trying to scare her and as she tried to navigate herself through her life after a big event rocked her world.
I find it hard to believe, however, that literally everyone in someone’s life (except perhaps her Dad!) happened to be so vile. Her mum seemed to be okay and then something cropped up that showed she wasn’t as sweet and innocent as she seemed. Dana’s own husband, sister, best friend and new friends were incredibly vile to her even after what she had been through and so was the figure from her past that cropped up, absolutely despicable.
I actually had an inkling to the ending regarding which characters were involved but I didn’t expect such a dark ending and I was left wanting more. It seemed an unsatisfying conclusion for a book that had me gripped, despite some of the implausible things I found in the plot.
I will definitely check out more from the author but I am not sure this would be one I’d pick up again.

I am very intrigued now to find out who she could finally trust and who she couldn’t. You go through life thinking you can trust close friends and family and I know I would get emotionally involved reading this as I would want her to be safe and happy
This sounds right up my street! I’ve added it to my “to read” list. 😀
Sounds like an interesting concept for a bit, but if everyone was so horrible to her I think it would leave me either feeling quite sad or frustrated at people x
Love the concept of this blog tour! ‘Who Do You Trust?’ sounds like a really thought-provoking read.
Sounds like a book full of suspense but it is a pity you could predict the ending and it was dark. I would definitely give this book a go as I love a bit of mystery and intensity
This sounds like a book I’d be interesting to read. It sounds like everyone is conspiring against her!!
This sounds quite an interesting read , I’d definitely add it to my list of books to read for the year
This sounds like an interesting read, I know a couple of people who would probably like this one. I will have to let them know about it.
It is hard to believe that one can be surrounded by vile people from those who you are meant to trust or those you learn to trust. I am intrigued for sure.
Oooooh this book sounds really good – just my cup of tea! Great post, thank you. Kaz
The book “Who do you trust” does sound like an interesting read, something my husband would love to read. Great review, by the way
