Blood Wedding
Blood Wedding | Pierre Lemaître
22 posts | 12 read | 29 to read
Normally happy and well-adjusted, Sophie Duguet doesn't understand what's happening to her: she has begun losing things, from her recently delivered mail to the car she parked the night before. She is constantly forgetting things she's said and done, too . . . only to be reminded of them by her acquaintances. She's even detained by the police for shoplifting--a crime she has no memory whatsoever of having committed. But this is just the beginning. As she slowly sinks deeper into dementia and depression, things go from troubling to alarming. Soon she finds herself connected to the deaths of several people around her: a neighbor boy she is babysitting is murdered while in her care; a stranger seeks shelter with her and winds up dead; and finally, her employer is killed in a way that suggests she was responsible. And she doesn't remember a thing about any of it. Desperate to escape the nightmare, a confused and horrified Sophie changes her name and relocates, hoping to outrun the demons that have begun to plague her. But this may not be enough to stop the evil that has poisoned her life and begun to claim the lives of everyone around her . . .

This was a good thriller set mostly in Paris. A little repetitive at times, but I kept turning the pages. I‘ve ordered two more by LeMaitre… easy reading. Thanks @Tamra for recommending â¤ï¸

Tamra ðŸ‘🾠I‘ve read one other. Need to get back! 3mo

Twisty! I did not want to put this down. It was the perfect balance of brain candy & puzzle to wind up what is always a fatiguing spring semester.

The title is odd and a bit misleading. And the end, well one needs to go into thrillers with a strictly entertainment mindset.

batsy Sounds good! We always need a thriller like this for when the brain wants fun junk 😆🿠6mo

This is an odd book, the plot itself is quite good, but there are several things which I didn't like. First of all, it's written at a distance as if the reader is watching a film rather than feeling involved in the story line, & the MC is difficult to like or feel much empathy for at the start. This changed as the book progressed but I can see why some readers DNF'd it. 1â­

A totally twisted psychological thriller that kept me guessing! This book is bizarre, and I mean that in a good way 👌

My poor book took a bath 😟🛀...this is the first book I've read in ages because I keep 😴 including in the bath which meant my book took a dunking 😣

Review - Sophie finds herself in a crime scene with no recollection of what she's done. She goes on the run and hatches a plan to marry and change her name. Little does she know that the man she strikes an online relationship with has secrets of his own, and is closer to her than she realises.

Jess_Read_This Oh no!! 7y
elliemcc11 Soggy mess! 7y
elliemcc11 "Including in the bath" read as "dozing in the bath" #stupidautocorrect 7y
Jess_Read_This @elliemcc11 AC gets me every time too. But I do think a bath sounds most relaxing! 7y

Doing some winter cleaning, Littens, and I have a couple of ARCs I'd like to get rid of! Normally these would go to goodwill, but I'll send them out for the cost of USPS. First come, first serve - use the comments to claim.

RiotMom Oh man, I would love to take one of the Lemaitres off your hands! 8y
Victoria_C I will take the other Blood Wedding if still available. Thanks! 8y

"Blood Wedding is a gripping, troubling novel with believable characters and a watertight plot, an undeniable tour de force of psychological suspense that justifies Lemaitre's international reputation as a crime writer." --New York Journal of Books

I really enjoyed this book! The first chapter alone had me hooked. The unreliable narrator was hard to understand at first but made for an interesting story. I did not see the twist or ending happening the way it did, and I loved it. Four stars!

Holy shiz, that was intense. So many layers of crazy. I won't say much bc I don't want to ruin it, but there's unreliable narration, a big twist that turns into an even bigger twist, and several WTF moments sprinkled throughout. Solid suspense! 😱

The suspense in this book is giving me a touch of anxiety. For a while, the narrator was so unreliable that I started to doubt my *own* sanity. And that was before the creepy twists started rolling in 😱

Round 2 of me gushing about this book!! What I loved most about this book = how Lemaitre crafts a story that doesn't simply have a big twist—it has a big twist, and then it BUILDS on that twist in a crazy way!!! I could never have predicted the story's development, and I loved it so much.

MrBook You've talked me into it 😊. Nice galoshes! 8y

*dies and goes to book heaven* this is probably my 2nd most-anticipated read of the year, and WOW did I devour it. Dividing my thoughts into 2 blurbs because this book deserves ALL the love. First things first: no plot description can do this book justice - it's ALL KINDS OF CRAY. Twisted & amazing.

Blood Wedding by Pierre Lamaitre is one of my beloved "killer wedding". A story made of manipulation, marriage and lies. And is also my first french author and I am really excited and curious to read this book. Thanks to Hachette Australia I can read it as a preview, oh yess! ?
