Well, that was dark. A decent escape from reality and I actually (in a weird way) enjoyed it. Solid thriller for sure.

This was an eerie book and I didn‘t expect it to have the plot that it did. Complicated marriages. An affair. A woman with a troubled, traumatic past who gets involved with anti-abortion fundamentalists (I like to call them fundies). It can‘t end well, right? This is a story about relationships and fundies in a small NY town. *This may be a work of fiction, but events like it have been far worse and very real.

#BeachDay I don‘t know why but the tagged book just isn‘t jiving with me 🤷🏼♀️I‘ve made several attempts and I‘m on page 104 but still I‘m not hooked. So I‘m putting this one aside and I started a book that was on my phone - Not A Happy Family & honestly, I‘m digging it 😁
Another 5 Star literary thriller from Elizabeth Brundage. I love the cover and how houses have great presence in her books. Houses and art and relationships , beautiful writing, thriller and horror , characters that are nuanced … yes I‘m a fan !
he woke early , before dawn and went walking in the long grass behind the house. He liked to witness the rising sun and the wailing geese crossing the red sky. . He moved slowly through the day , observing the various details of their life in the house. The way the cream fell from the pitcher … he said her hands reminded him of birds.. the sun crawling across the table..the light attracted him as much as the darkness
I love her writing 👌
If you like literary thrillers you MUST start reading Brundage! It‘s hard to believe this is a debut.
It has a captivating start as a doctor is beaten, drugged, and driven off the side of a road. But he is “saved” from death by a twisted woman. Then it goes back several months to show how they got to the opening chapter. (A device I love!) I found the doctor‘s wife to be the least interesting character, but there other very compelling ones! ⬇️
What a beginning!!
Thank you so much @BarbaraBB and @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks !! You definitely made my Christmas merrier!

Thank you both for your friendship as well. 💚 Merry Christmas everyone!! 🎄🎄🎄
I found this in a coffee shop free library. Has anyone read it? There aren‘t any reviews here. Looks sort of interesting 🤔🤔🤔
This book was a little creepy-nightmares about old basements and artists...
