The Vacation

pick

Although it is definitely not his best (it‘s one of his earliest thrillers, re-edited and renamed a few years afters its publication) I still enjoyed John Marrs‘s book about travelers from all over the world meeting each other in a rundown LA hostel. All carry secrets from their past and the book is full of plot lines and twists. I couldn‘t stop reading!

TheAromaofBooks I really enjoyed The One but haven't tried any of his other books!! 3w

BarbaraBB @TheAromaofBooks I loved that one and the tagged one and have now become obsessed with his backlist

The Passengers: A near-future thriller with a killer twist from the bestselling author of THE ONE

bookandbedandtea @BarbaraBB @TheAromaofBooks I have also started reading his backlist due to loving The One and The Passengers! I agree that the couple older ones I've read so far are good, but not quite as good. 3w

BarbaraBB @bookandbedandtea Oh wow, which ones have you read from his backlist? I only read the tagged book beside this one and it was okay too

When You Disappeared

(edited) 3w

bookandbedandtea @BarbaraBB I have When You Disappeared languishing on my kindle, thanks for the reminder! I've read Her Last Move, which was somewhere between okay and good, and the tagged, which scared the crap out of me. I can't objectively say whether it was a good thriller or not because it hit too close to home. 😱

The Good Samaritan

TheAromaofBooks Oh wow, The Passengers sounds really good, too!! I loved the way The One just was such a thought-provoking read. It raised so many different questions but never came across as polemic. It's a book I still find myself thinking about from time to time. @bookandbedandtea 3w

Cathythoughts Tagging all these Marrs books. I‘m stuck in this one at the moment and it‘s good , Thankyou for the recommendation Barbara

The One

Cathythoughts Love this photo too 👍🏻♥️ 3w

intothehallofbooks I love John Marrs but haven‘t read this one yet! 3w

BarbaraBB @bookandbedandtea I have those two on my shelves. Too close home? That must be intense 3w

BarbaraBB @intothehallofbooks You love him too? Any favorites? I am so into him! 3w

BarbaraBB @Cathythoughts i am a bit obsessed by him at the moment (and by Lennon), I am glad you are enjoying his books too 🤍🤍 3w

bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks I still think about The One and The Passengers occasionally. I am completely opposed to self driving cars due to The Passengers. 😬 3w

bookandbedandtea @BarbaraBB Someone close to me has reached out to suicide hotlines in the past and the thought that they may yet talk to someone like Laura was hard for me to handle. (No spoilers- the blurb tells that much.) 3w

Suet624 Hmmm…The One sounds goods. Guess I need to be on the lookout for that one. 3w

BarbaraBB @bookandbedandtea That is awful, I just read the blurb. 3w

Cathythoughts Yes Lennon. I‘ve read Broken River and Subdivision. Time to try another 😁 3w

TheAromaofBooks @bookandbedandtea - I'm already pretty against self-driving cars because I'm a smidge paranoid about things of that nature (also don't like the idea of “smart“ home appliances or devices that sit about listening to me so I can conveniently order things from Amazon haha) So maybe The Passengers would be right up my alley 😂 3w

bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks I liked the book very much but, yes, I think anyone who reads must come away with a sense of concern about the technology we already rely on so heavily. 3w

bookandbedandtea @BarbaraBB I can't judge for sure but I suspect the quality of writing was in line with the rest of his books, so there's that. It just happened to be a fraught subject for me. 3w

The Vacation | John Marrs

pick

🎧 I almost DNF‘d this book but the author wrote The One, so …

About a group of people meeting & staying at a Hostel in Venice Beach. Multiple characters with multiple story lines in multiple time lines. I didn‘t know if I had the energy or will to keep them all straight.

Give it a try. I was too lazy to find another book 😆 and soon I was drawn into the intrigue!! It slowly ramps up and YESSS becomes a fun popcorny murder mystery!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

BookLineNSinker I love John Marrs, have you tried anything other than The One? I love his books and they're almost all available on Kindle for free! The tagged book was insane, if you love thrillers!

The Good Samaritan

Twainy @BookLineNSinker I‘ve read 4 of his books and they were great. The One was my first & the best. His audiobooks & Kindle editions are on sale right now so I got his new audiobook & kindle edition of Keep it in the Family for $5.98. Excited to read it! 1y

BookLineNSinker I have heard he released a new book! I will definitely have to check it out! 1y
