A gripping psychological thriller that keeps twisting
All that glitters is not gold and all that sparkles is not diamond…
Robert De Roo has it all: a lavish home, a fantastic career, and a sweet wife who deeply loves him. Their life together seems perfect, until one night Robert comes home and finds Rebecca gruesomely murdered in their marital bed.
The alarm system was switched off, sedatives are found in her blood, her suitcases are packed and he can’t explain where he was at the time of the murder.
His family isn’t upset about her death. They merely try to uphold the family name and the reputation of their beloved chocolate firm, where both he and Rebecca worked. No one seems to miss her and Robert is the only one who mourns her death. He’s also the only one with a motive and the police quickly suspect him.
He needs to find out who killed his wife and why. The deeper he digs, the more he realizes that he didn’t know what his wife was up to. Were her secrets even bigger than his? Is he ready to face the truth?
How far would you go to create and protect your dream life?
An unputdownable psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last page.
A little about the author & the novel
Hi, this is me, Lenora Dontens and I’m the author of Driven by Deceit. No part of my book was generated by artificial intelligence. All the ideas, plot twists and text came from my mind and the entire novel is written by me. I’ve poured my heart and soul into my psychological thriller, and I hope you can feel that while reading it.
Truth has many faces, and that certainly holds true for this psychological thriller. “Driven by Deceit” is written from eleven different perspectives, and each point of view adds a new layer to the story. As a result, readers gain a complex and multi-layered understanding of both the characters and the unfolding of events. Every reader will experience the book differently. You are invited to form your own interpretations of both the characters and their choices and to ultimately create your own truth.
Besides writing, I’m a professional watercolor artist. I designed and painted the symbol for the cover. To find out what it is and what it represents, you'll have to read the book.
The story takes place in Belgium, where I was born and spent my childhood years. If you enjoy reading books in a European setting, then this one’s for you.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating
I can tell you how great my book is and how much effort I’ve put into it, but ultimately the proof is in the pudding, or in this case the book. You’ve probably never heard of me before and I understand you don’t want to just buy my psychological thriller blindly.
