Book idea opinions

[Singsoul91]

So I've decided to write a book and want you opinion.

Psychological thriller.

A girl wakes up in hospital battered and bruised. So a who done it situation.

Whilst she finds the abuser, she finds herself at the same time.

She is only ever referred to as Mrs Strongwell because she is yet to find her identity.

All the characters in the book represent her personality.

Was it her husband, the weird next door neighbour? Hmmm

Also any good psychological thriller books to recommend, let me know

Arrgh never give away plot ideas online, OP!

I agree with HollowTalk's advice - not a good idea to give away your idea online.

I quite like your idea in terms of structure, but you'd need a good reveal for who the abuser is - the husband will be the first person your readers think of, and if there's an obviously weird neighbour he/she will also be high on the list.

Recommendations - anything by Louise Candlish or Tammy Cohen.

[spoilers] Will you be straying into Identity film's territory with all characters a figment of the protagonist's imagination or Wizard of Oz with characters in Oz drawn from the characters' real world or something different? Either way, good luck but it sounds like it would need some craft to do well and manage reveals and to handle the 'All the characters in the book represent her personality'.

It feels like quite a familiar plot - I think whether it worked or not would in the execution.

It sounds quite interesting. If that sounds a bit lukewarm in terms of enthusiasm, that's because it sounds rather similar to other books.

I feel it would be beneficial to give her a background with a strong focus, and make the characters part of that. For example, she's a beekeeper, and the characters are her female boss (=Queen Bee), ex-husband (=Worker Bee) and layabout brother (=drone).

Good luck with your writing.

I'd want to read it.
