I really enjoyed Louise Jensen’s 2017 novel The Surrogate, so I had high expectations for The Date. “My God! It’s a bloody corker! An exquisite writer…Louise has completely knocked it out of the park and brought us all another amazing thriller! MY FIRST EVER GOLD STAR AWARD.” ( Date by Louise Jensen is a gripping suspense novel where a woman’s date goes horribly wrong when she wakes up beaten and unable to remember anything about the night-or recognize her closest friends. “This novel was paced perfectly and I actually finished it in one day because I couldn’t put it down…so addictive!” () What reviewers are saying about Louise Jensen: Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train and Before I Go to Sleep.
