Trust No One: a gripping psychological thriller you'll be obsessed with
He’s in her head. And he’s not leaving.
Grace Harper spends her days finding dream homes for strangers – but her office is a nightmare she can’t escape. Bullied by younger colleagues, and on a final warning from her boss, she hates her work, but desperately needs to keep earning so she can save enough to escape to university.
So when executive coach Oliver arrives to help the struggling team, Grace is keen to impress him by putting her best foot forward.
What she doesn’t realise is that Oliver is a deeply damaged individual who is prone to dark obsessions. And he sees something in Grace that makes her very, very special.
What begins as a series of coaching sessions soon warps into control, as Oliver positions himself as Grace’s secret guardian angel - one who knows what she needs better than she does.
And if Grace isn’t fully onboard with his plans? The price of refusing is darker than she could ever imagine.
As her career, relationships, and sanity begin to unravel, Grace realises she is being pushed to a place where she must answer one terrifying question – how far will she go to survive?
Trust No One - the shocking psychological thriller perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Liane Moriarty, and Sally Hepworth.

This book had my daughter and I screaming at the characters. This story follows Grace, a real estate agent whose boss likes to give her a hard time and co-workers always poking fun at her. Grace's injured boyfriend lives with her and she is the sole provider, living in her deceased parents house.
Her boss makes her to go what is called coaching. I think this would be equivalent to getting counseling here in the US. Her coach/counselor, Oliver, is a bit different.
As the story continues, all of these crazy things start happening to Grace, including being regarded as a person-of-interest in the mysterious death of her boss.
This story was such a twisted roller-coaster. And that ending? Fantastic!

Caleb Crowe has done something seriously impressive here. Trust No One is the kind of psychological thriller that gets under your skin and refuses to leave. I'm talking about the good kind of discomfort, where you're squirming but you absolutely cannot stop reading.
Grace is such a relatable character. She's stuck in a toxic work environment (been there, right?), being bullied by colleagues, on her last warning from her boss, but she needs the money for university. Then Oliver shows up as an executive coach, and Grace thinks maybe this is her chance to turn things around.
Except Oliver isn't what he seems. At all.
What starts as professional coaching sessions quickly morphs into something way darker. The way Crowe builds the tension is masterful. You can feel the control tightening around Grace page by page, and honestly? It's terrifying because it feels so real. This isn't some over-the-top villain twirling a mustache. Oliver's manipulation is subtle, calculated, and disturbingly believable.
The twists in this book absolutely blindsided me. Just when I thought I had it figured out, Crowe threw another curveball that had me gasping out loud. And the pacing? Relentless. I stayed up way too late finishing this one because I simply had to know what happened next.
Crowe's writing is sharp and gripping, and he's created characters that feel genuinely three-dimensional. Grace's struggle feels authentic, and watching her navigate this nightmare kept me completely invested. Five stars. This one's going to stick with me for a while. I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and Inkubator Books, but this is 100% my honest review.
