Any One Of Us by Martyn Ford

My review of Any One Of Us by Martyn Ford

I was looking forward to Any One Of Us after reading a previous Martyn Ford Book All Our Darkest Secrets which I rated as one of my top 5 books of 2021 and wasn’t dissapointed.

Any One Of Us is a great psychological thriller with great characters, especially the main character of the book Ruby.

I was hooked from the start, a really nice build up as we get to know Ruby, her back story and the relationship with her stepfather.

Throw in an ex boyfriend, ex school friends dropping like flys, cantacorous old ex tutor and you will be hooked too.

It also has emotional scenes which make you feel more for the characters and really engage with them

Hope this isn’t the end of Ruby and she features in another book by Martyn Ford

Publishers Description of Any One Of Us by Martyn Ford

Her old schoolfriends are dead. She might be next.

Missbrook Bay is a place haunted by memories Ruby wanted to forget, and people she never wanted to see again, but Ruby has no choice but to go back to investigate. While staying with her ex-boyfriend, she notices a pattern in their full school year photo—the killer seems to be working through victims in a specific order. And after her ex’s house is broken into, Ruby realises nowhere and no one is safe.

There are still many faces left in that photo. Any one of them could be the next victim—and any one of them could be the killer. And with each death, the killer is getting closer to Ruby.
