Welcome to Litsy!

4½⭐
What a stunning debut this turned out to be. At first, in the beginning, I was thinking…where could this be going; then something happened that I was totally not expecting. From that point on I was hooked. This one is best to go into blind…although the synopsis doesn‘t give too much away…so you might be good if you‘ve already read it. It also has a main character whose name is Leah…I‘m a sucker for a character with my name.

If you are looking for an exceptionally clever,fast paced psychological thriller…this is the book for you! I absolutely loved this book. This book had me holding my breath at times, rooting for the main characters…screaming out loud! This book is a not to be missed book this year! The characters are well developed, and you will not want to put this book down!

I have seen that woman before, but where?

That is the question McKenna asked herself when she saw Leah shoot her husband.

Fantastic debut…this is a book thriller fans won‘t want to miss. 5/5

This book grabbed me from the very beginning and kept me on edge. I wanted to just escape someplace where I would have no interruptions while reading it. I could feel for myself the fear and hopelessness the main characters experienced. It is hard to believe that this is Murphy‘s debut novel.

Expected publication date is May 31, 2022.

Leah and McKenna seem to have perfect lives, but both are trapped in abusive marriages. One day Leah sees McKenna in a liquor store. She doesn‘t know McKenna but she recognizes her as a fellow “trapped” woman. Things get a little weird when Leah decides to put McKenna out of her misery. Even though the two women have never met, they will soon be intertwined are in a murder investigation.

Fantastic Debut!!

REVIEW 5/31

I have seen that woman before, but where?

That is the question McKenna asked herself when she saw Leah shoot her husband.

Why would she do that? She did say she is the same as me, but what did that mean?

Ms. Murphy did an amazing job of keeping you guessing and writing a fantastic thriller.

Be aware that THE FAVOR does vividly picture domestic abuse. 5/5

This is a sparkling debut novel about Leah and McKenna, two married women who don‘t know each other. But each decides to do the other a “favor” as their husbands are abusive. That‘s all you need; go in blind and expect the unexpected as these two show their strength and determination!
Thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. Out May 31st.

This is about spousal abuse and how women end up getting trapped in situations they never imagined would happen to them. It also has Patricia Highsmith vibes.
