I Did It for You | Amy Engel
7 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
A twisty thriller from the beloved author of The Familiar Dark, in which a woman returns to the town where her sister was murdered and finds a presumed copycat on the loose It's been fourteen years since Greer Dunning's older sister, Eliza, was murdered, and Greer's family has never been the same. And now there's been a similar killing in Greer's small Kansas hometown. A copycat, according to the authorities, but Greer is convinced there is more to the story. That Eliza's murderer had help all those years ago. So Greer returns home after more than a decade away, desperate to answer the questions that have haunted her for years. And in her drive to uncover the truth, she forms a bond with the unlikeliest of allies. One that puts her in grave danger, as almost everyone in her small town becomes a suspect. At once a riveting mystery and a deep exploration of guilt, loss, and the ways in which a violent murder transforms both the family of the victim and the family of the killer, I Did It For You will keep readers captivated through the very last page.

This looks a little like a Valentine cover, except with murder 😃❤️🔫

Kappadeemom Eliza and Greer are sisters in a small town, where you know everyone because no one new ever moves to town. When Eliza is a Senior, she and her boyfriend are murdered. They arrest the gunman and he goes to prison. Now, many years later, another similar murder happens and Greer decides to come back to hometown to figure out what happened. Enjoyable book but fairly predictable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 9mo

I ❤️ The Roanoke Girls and The Familiar Dark by this author. Loved them so much that I couldn‘t wait for the paperback of her latest novel. Sadly, this book wasn‘t nearly as good as those ones were. It‘s still a pick and there were some things I liked and the last third was better, but it wasn‘t as punch-you-in-the-gut as the others…and even the writing seemed more mainstream thriller. I have not had a stellar reading month. 😫

1. My dad used to dazzle my friends with a hysterical story about climbing Mt. Everest, which was not true, but was so funny. Every memory of my mom is my favourite because she was just…all the things. This photo of them is how I like to think of them, even though they divorced when I was in my early 20s.
2. My sense of humour and family dinners.

𝟒.𝟐𝟓⭐The writing and narration drew me in and left me completely engaged in this story. I really love AE‘s writing in all her books. While they tend to go to the dark side of life; they always make an impression. And since I‘m partial to her work…maybe, that‘s why I liked it more than most readers. Although I did have a few discrepancies with the reasons for the perpetrator's actions, I still would recommend it, especially in Audio format.

This book kept me engaged from start to finish. It was important for Greer to return to her family home to understand more about what happened to her sister. This is a story around so many things. The murder of a sister, the impact on the family and also the town as a whole and about friendship and love. The ending I did not see coming. Definitely an author I will follow

Good creepy tale about love, murder, betrayal, and hope. Lots of red herrings and confusion that all becomes clear in the end!
