"My abiding memory really, was spending several months in Ireland in a big country mansion, post-Welcome To The Pleasuredome, and attempting to write songs for the Liverpool album while travelling the world with Frankie and things. We were in the house of the King of Leinster, who'd decided to rent it out to pop groups who needed rehearsal space - I think the Thompson Twins had been there previously - and Paul [Rutherford, Frankie singer], who I think is an even bigger Kate Bush fan than me, brought the album and it never left the turntable. We knew that Julian Mendelsohn, who'd mixed 'Relax' and 'Two Tribes', had been involved in it. It just stayed on the turntable for what seemed like months, over and over and over again. Almost to its detriment in a way. It's just an incredible record. What more you can say?"

I haven't read anything by Jo Spain before but after reading Don't Look Back, I will certainly be keeping my eyes open in the future as I enjoyed this.

Don't Look Back is a twisty thriller with great characters, not all of whom are likeable, and an intriguing plot with some great twists. Be warned, it deals with domestic violence so if this is a trigger, I would steer clear.

Travelling from London to the Caribbean and to Ireland, this is one twisty book that is told at a good pace, from multiple points of view and with some flashbacks. The plot is complicated but it all comes to a satisfying conclusion in the end.

All in all, an enjoyable thriller that kept me reading into the night and I must thank Quercus Books and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Don't Look Back.
