Stay Close has been hailed as a ‘masterpiece’ by Netflix viewers over its ‘brilliant’ twist ending.

*Note: This article contains spoilers* 

The drama, based on Harlan Coben’s novel, follows a mum-of-three, called Megan, whose past comes back to haunt her when a detective called Broome begins to investigate a missing person case. 

The official synopsis reads: “When Carlton Flynn vanishes 17 years to the night after Stewart Green did, it sets off a chain reaction in the lives of people connected to both men.”

Fans of the programme will be aware that all of these cases are actually connected.

The owner of Vipers nightclub, Lorraine Griggs, turns out to be a serial killer, who ends up confessing to killing a man after being beaten and abused by her former husband.

She then confesses to the killing of Carlton Flynn – a case that has remained unresolved for 17 years – but only in the finale do viewers find out that this isn’t the truth.

In the end, a struggle takes place between Kayleigh Shaw (Megan’s daughter) after she is attacked by Flynn.

Somehow, she manages to fight him off and put him in the boot of his own car. She then confesses to her dad, Dave, about what happened.

Dave then recognises the vehicle when watching the news, and drives it into a river so that his daughter doesn’t get in any trouble. However, he has no idea that he kills Flynn in the process – as he’s still in the car boot.

Viewers have heaped praise on the series and how it ends over on Twitter.

One person tweeted: “Stay Close on Netflix. What a series. Another Harlan Coben masterpiece. Definitely give it a watch.

“I was hiding behind my pillow at times, but that ending is incredible and unpredicted.”

“Love Stay Close on Netflix,” said another. “So many twists and turns and some of the actors/ actresses are amazing. Would recommend. Thanks for the masterpiece.”

A third wrote: “That plot twist at the end of Stay Close. BABY I WASN’T READY.”
