pickI very much enjoyed this. A girl is dead, and we don't know who killed her. One of the possible suspects, I had no idea if he was guilty of her murder or not, but even after I learned he had actually murdered before I still felt sympathy for him. I wanted him redeemed in the end, but how can a murder be redeemed? While another possible suspect, I could not like him no matter how hard I tried.
A twisty, engaging, spellbinding read.
pickI received an ARC of this book 8 years ago. Adding it to my #Roll100 list and choosing it as my November #ReadOrDonate book finally got it read. I hadn‘t read any Swanson books and have now read a few this year. I‘ve liked all of them. This one was creepy good. I‘m glad I chose my #ReadOrDonate book before we left for the V.I. and I packed it!

November‘s #ReadOrDonate pick. It‘s also on my #10beforetheend list.
Clearing more space & it will knock another book off my 2024 #Roll100 list. 🤓
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

pick4.25⭐
This is not one of those books with twists galore…it‘s more of a character study of a few different characters. It‘s one of those stories that gets inside your head and creeps you out. Eva Kaminsky‘s narration was great…but a male narrator (at least) would‘ve been preferable for the male POVs.
pickLove his books and this one creepy-good! When Kate agrees to an apartment swap with distant cousin, Corbin she has no idea her panic attacks will lead to bigger panic and a psychopath who loves a pretty woman he can “love to death”! Fascinating yet dark, this book kept me up late!😱
pickI really enjoyed this one. As the book description states, it‘s very Hitchcockian. It‘s a blend of Rear Window and Wait Until Dark. Kate seems like a lovely person, somewhat shy. Her life has been anything but easy. Now she comes to the U.S. and the woman across the hall has been murdered. Things go downhill from there. This was another Peter Swanson that I didn‘t want to turn off.
“The author of the wildly popular The Kind Worth Killing returns with an electrifying and downright Hitchcockian psychological thriller—as tantalizing as the cinema classics Rear Window and Wait Until Dark—involving a young woman caught in a vise of voyeurism, betrayal, manipulation, and murder.”

I would recommend it for people who are interested in a quick and entertaining mystery thriller at the end of the night with a cup of tea.

Can‘t stop reading this book, from the first page is getting more and more intense 🫣 and continuing to crocheting 🧶 a recent hobby. Happy New Years

so-soThis book was okay. I liked the ambience, and the slowly losing reality, but it was sooo repetitive! You would read from 1 perspective then go back and have to read all over again from 2 other perspectives! That could have been cut! 3/5
so-soI settled on three stars for this, as I did find it to be an engaging narrative and I think Peter Swanson writes creepy scenes incredibly well. There was one scene early on that I found especially unsettling and I do not find many authors hit those nerves for me.
Beyond that, I was disappointed

Getting in a bit of reading while waiting for the kiddos to get their vaccinations.
12-11-20: My 105th finished book of 2020! Kate lives in London and her cousin, Corbin, lives in Boston. They decide to do an apartment swap for 6 months and as soon as Kate arrives there is a murder in the building, right next door. Is her cousin involved? Fast paced and fun read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #hereveryfear #peterswanson 👍🏼📖#️⃣1️⃣0️⃣5️⃣
pickGreat first half ... Murder ! Then it gets a bit predictable, Still a good read ... a nice escape from reality 👍🏻
After a lot of indecision, I‘m settled into this one ... and just to say
ITS ONLY ..... ONE EURO !! ON KINDLE 👍🏻❤️
pickTwo cousins with troubled pasts temporarily swap apartments and things become ‘interesting‘ when a murder occurs next door. A pretty good story with some unnerving moments, where the main character is not sure the danger she perceived is real or imagined. An enjoyable read with a Hitchcock vibe, though the conclusion‘s a bit lame, imo.
First book for #screamathon2020
“One of the paradoxes of her anxious life was that in the midst of doing something slightly reckless, Kate often felt the most normal. It was as though her anxiety, always with her, was given a reason for existing.”
pickI loved it! I was even able to guess the “twist” before it came out (which probably means it was super easy for everyone to guess 😂). Great thriller.
pickAnother #BookSpinBonanza book complete! And another 4🌟 read! @TheAromaofBooks
Also, I downloaded the #Bookly app, and decided to upgrade to pro. I couldn‘t help but swoon over all the infographics. Hoping it‘s worth it 😅 Does anyone else use it?
Starting on book 5 for #BookSpinBonanza before I head to bed for the night. It‘s 3am, so I doubt I‘ll get too far into it, but The Chalk Man kept me up and now I‘m in the mood for another thriller. Lucky for me, number 10 is just that! 🤞🏻 Here‘s to hoping I enjoy this one. @TheAromaofBooks

pickFirst book I‘ve read by this author but I felt instantly drawn to his style of writing and read it fairly quickly. It‘s told from a number of different perspectives and although I did like hearing from various characters, I found some parts slightly repetitive and unnecessary because of the retelling of the story. I didn‘t find it as full of twists and turns as I was expecting but it was creepy and it kept my attention throughout!
When bad things happened, the world always looked 👁
pickThis was a solid thriller that kept me wondering what was going to happen next! I really appreciated the third person perspective throughout, which allowed the reader to see what was happening with multiple characters. I am always creeped out by stories where someone is in your house and you don't know it... Thoroughly enjoyable.
pickI devoured this intense thriller! The comparisons to Hitchcock‘s Rear Window are right on. The story is told from multiple character‘s perspectives. Two cousins apartment swap in Boston and London. The English cousin was previously traumatized by an ex-boyfriend. When she arrives in Boston, the next door neighbor is found dead. Tons of questions arise about her cousin and another male neighbor. Who do you believe? 5🌟 #MountTBR
I enjoyed reading The Kind Worth Killing and A Girl With A Clock for a Heart by Peter Swanon, but I just couldn‘t get through this one. I hate stopping a book without finishing it! I feel like I‘ve wasted my valuable reading time! On the bright side, how cute is my new bookmark? I love collecting bookmarks! Anyone else?
pickLOVED!! Thx BOTM for introducing me to Peter Swanson...second book was even better than the first.
Kate and Corbin swap homes for 6months, thinking it will be a great opportunity for each of them to escape and start fresh. Within moments of Kate's arrival in Boston. She learns Corbins' neighbor has been killed; no, murdered. Is it possible Corbin is a killer? Kate can't shake the feeling that he could be and begins to dig into his past...
pickI liked it, I didn‘t love it. Decent read, but nothing to write home about.
Wandering between pages, time,
and unrealism is a reader's
ultimate epitome of

May you lose yourself in the
fathomless abyss of a
timeless novel,
abounding in the mellow
shades of rapture and delirium,
and just like a cascade may
your inquisition never quench.

panPeter Swanson‘s stand-alone psychological thriller is a hackneyed affair that‘s driven by hackneyed coincidence, implausible characters, a deeply misguided romance with a peeping tom and a very silly plot that nods at STRANGERS ON A TRAIN and although I believed in the main character‘s anxiety (which is well depicted), she‘s very much a victim all the way through the plot, which made it impossible for me to empathise with her.
so-soHearing great things about Swanson's previous works, I was excited to read this book but, it fell a little flat. There was so much more that could've been done to to really flesh out the main character. She has a pivotal life event in her backstory that seemed to be disconnected. It is here that Swanson falls down—he doesn't connect this to the character so it comes off as weak. This is a life-changing event that should really define who she is.
The third Swanson is a Hitchcockian chiller-thriller, not quite as good as the first two, but still worth the time if you‘re into this genre. Oops, first post had incorrect photo...sorry!
Not something that‘s likely to happen to many Littens, but that doesn‘t stop us from adding to our already massive TBR‘s! #quotsyoct18 #fear
pick3.5 stars out of 5! ⭐
It was a good mystery thriller and it had a creepy vibe to it. Of course from the beginning you can tell who the killer is but it was interesting learning how and why he or she started to kill. It wasn't the best mystery thriller I've read but I enjoyed reading it and I couldn't put down. I read it in less than 24 hours.
pickIt was very well written. I couldn't put it down until the end!
panNot my cup of tea. I don‘t know what the fascination is with the dark side of humanity, but I don‘t want to waste my time reading about psychopaths. I almost bailed on this a half dozen times. Nothing really special about the story, just well written and I did want to find out how it ended.
pickKate from London made a swap apartment with her unknown cousin Corbin from Boston.Audrey, Corbin's neighbor, was found brutally murdered the day Kate arrived to Boston.Kate and Corbin have many secrets.Was Corbin the murderer?Story is predictable early in the reading but I really enjoyed how a psychopath criminal thinking was developed and "the game" of what you perceived happened with what really happened. In general it was interesting 3.5⭐️
My top shelf has a large part of my #thriller TBR stash. Which one is a “must read”?
