Catherine Ravenscroft finds a book at her bedside and begins to read it. She discovers the book is all about her. The book has a dark secret that only one other person knows but that person is dead. Her only hope is to confront what really happened even if the shocking truth might destroy her. This twisty tale will make your head spin. If you like psychological suspense, you need to read this book!
Thank you @TheAromaofBooks for the book and for the invite to #LitsyLove! I really like the idea of passing along read books to other littens. #bookmail #snailmail
so-soThis one didn't completely work for me on a few levels, although it's hard to explain them without spoilers. I will say that one of the biggest issues I had was how Catherine's husband responded when he received the mysterious package with photos and the book.......it felt way over the top for someone who supposedly has had a wonderful marriage for thirty years to immediately assume the worst, refuse to let his wife explain, and basically treat⬇️

pickImagine reading a story to find yourself in the pages with your dark secret unraveling between the pages..a secret you thought no one else knew. This is a page-turning thriller with focus on family & relationships, and the lengths people will go to protect them. A sympathetic read with a surprise reveal which leads you to think there may not be a clear-cut distinction between right & wrong; and there‘s always 2 sides to a story. Good, quick read.
pickThis thriller had me hooked from the opening minute until the last 30 or so! I know not every ending in books or in life has to be perfect, but three decisions toward the end of this book made me incredibly sad. (And yep, I know it‘s FICTION, for crying out loud!)
pickI was glad to see that this lived up to its early promise and, I think, justifies the excitement hype that accompanied its publication.

I am generally rather wary if those excessively hyped thrillers that come along every few months, but so far this one is proving to be very gripping. #reneeknight #disclaimer #book #books #currentlyreading #coffee #coffeeandbooks #booksandcoffee #cotebrasserie #muswellhill #muswellhillbilly #n10 #muswellhillsaturday #saturdaybooks #weekend #saturdayreads
Happy world book day. We are having a snow day here in Scotland all schools are shut so it‘s been a day of fun in the snow, cup of tea and reading. #perfectday #worldbookday #litsyfamily

I loved this thriller - a woman with a happy family life suddenly has delivered through her door a novel in which the main character and the circumstances mirror a past event in her life.
pickI finished this psychological thriller a few hours ago. Wow. Knight had my allegiance shifting on an almost chapter-by-chapter basis. While I was able to figure out where the main story was going halfway thru the book, I was never entirely sure we would get there, and I certainly didn't see the sub-plot resolutions.
Knight crafted a tense and engaging story. I'd recommend this one of you like the genre.
13 chapters in to this book. Also nails.

When you get texts like this from your friend at Disneyland, you KNOW this book is gonna be good!
Wow!! It took me a little while to get into this book - to figure out the players - but it was well worth the effort! A serious rollercoaster of impulses and motivations. Such a surprise.
pickThis was really good! I had a lot of theories working from the beginning. I was maybe halfway through when I became convinced of the answer. I ended up being right but that didn‘t take away from any of the story for me. Ultimately crushing and devastating.
The other book I got at Powell‘s over my thanksgiving trip to OR (I only got 2 books! Nuts!!). Sounds like an interesting twist on a thriller - a mysterious book shows up at your house only for you to find out it details the dark secret you thought no one else knew about. /38
pickThis book grabbed me instantly. Yes, it was good, very good, but didn't quite sustain that hold on me that I'd hoped and I was a little disappointed that it slipped into that "Girl On A Train" kind of cheapness. I didn't consider Girl On a Train a quality read. Still it was very good.
Wow! I'm hooked from page one. My fingers are crossed for continued awesomeness.
I started this book ages ago but couldn't get into it so another try is needed. #books #bookcover #booksandcoffee #bookworm #reading #currentread #bookcrazy
pickVery good! Not excellent, but really good. Catherine is surrounded by some toxic men, and nothing is what it seems to be. The title in Portuguese is “Pure coincidence”, and I think that says all about this book. A fast and enjoyable read 🤘🏖🌊
Only 3 more books to read until I reach my #GoodReadsChallenge target of 40 books this year☺️
I‘m not doing quite so well with the other challenges. I don‘t like to restrict my reading, especially when I‘m not having a lot of spare time for reading at the moment...
Next year I have only signed up for the #PassportLitsy challenge and only 5 countries. Hopefully if I don‘t go overboard I can make it! Haha 🤣
#currentlyreading I have a good feeling about this one, the blurbs are great! 👀
pickIt looks like I've forgotten to post a review of this book. I finished this a week or so ago and have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't pick the twist towards the end (I tend to be quite oblivious to twists though) but some of the characters reaction to the twist just made me mad. Not because they were unrealistic or poorly executed but because they were unfair to one of the main characters. I would definitely recommend this book.

I really enjoy this thriller. Very well written and great plot. “A brilliantly conceived, deeply unsettling psychological thriller about a woman haunted by secrets, the consuming desire for revenge, and the terrible price we pay when we try to hide the truth.”” an outstandingly clever and twisty tale that‘s been perfectly engineered to make heads spin.” Entertainment level: 🏖🏖🏖🏖 #Persefone #DogsOnLitsy #Sha2016
I'm exhausted so my entire house is on rest duty. Welcome, to my night 📚📖❤️
Books and sunshine for this sleepyhead . I realize it's not a movie book but it was closest to me lol! #readathon
pickUnique twisty story, where the present is all tied up with past events, warped by memories and assumptions. The epistolary elements (book within a book) were necessary to the story, but I didn't believe the book-within-a-book narrator's voice. Too biased.
pickDisclaimer is one of those thrillers I absolutely had to finish in a couple of sittings! I loved the pacing, the psychological insight into the characters and just how well rounded all of them were. I noticed the slight implausibility of some situations but it was easy for me to overlook. Cozy up with this thriller, you probably won't regret it. This is a binge-read 😍
pickI have not had much luck with thrillers so I fully expected to not enjoy this (and at the beginning I thought that might be the case) but, actually, I ended up liking it. It did not go exactly where I thought it was going but the end certainly gave a lot of food for thought. I think this would actually be a good book club choice. Lots to unpack.
pickThis was fast paced, and although none of the twists shocked me, some were unexpected.
I liked this, but didn't love it. All the characters are horrible horrible people! It made it hard to care about them. However as a thriller it was an excellent read, and definitely a page turner, hence the pick 🙂
I am also using this for #LitsyAToZ #LetterD and for #LRC10 #MultiplePerspectives

In some ways I feel sorry for the person perpetrating the whole book thing, but they are incredibly unstable and getting increasingly out of control.
You are taking things too far man, TOO.FAR.

#TBRtemptation post! In her debut novel, we meet Catherine, who leads a comfortable married life as a tv documentarian with a grown son. They've recently moved & she finds a mysterious book in her home. As she reads it, she realizes it's about her & a dark secret from her past she thought she was the only person alive who knew. Guess not. She's got one heck of an opponent! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
pickI really liked how this sounded, I hadn't heard any hype , it just took my fancy. I wasn't disappointed.
The story is a psychological thriller, with lots of twists and turns. You're never quite sure what really happened, who to believe, or what's coming next. I thought it all unfolded really nicely with a few unexpected things along the way.
Really enjoyed it!

This one looks intriguing--eBook on sale until 12/31.
This book has the lowest average rating on my Goodreads to-read list. But, I've heard good things about it. So, I guess I will have to see for myself.
You see I'd always enjoyed reading more than writing. To be a writer, to be a good writer, you need courage.
pickHalfway through I was ready to bail. The story was being dragged out and it had become rather repetitive but boy am I pleased I stuck with this! Could not of predicted that plot twist and it's been quite some time since I've ended a book with "what the f@&!!" Reminded me that a photo may speak a thousand words, but that doesn't mean all of them are true...
