pick5🌟/5🌟
It's rare that I give a thriller 5 stars... but this book was so good!! This was my first book by this author... and it definitely won't be my last. If you haven't read this yet... I highly recommend it.
pickAnother solid psychological thriller by John Marrs. I have just one more book to read by him and still enjoying them but none was as good as the first ones I read: The Passengers and The One.
This one is about a woman who takes care of her mother when an attractive man enters into their lifes who charms them both. As always, nothing is what it seems. Entertaining and full of twists.

so-soI read and loved “The One” by John Marrs and I‘ve been meaning to read more from him ever since. Unfortunately this one wasn‘t nearly as thought provoking, but it still had some redeeming qualities. I did figure out a major “twist” nearly immediately. I was waiting for another huge reveal that never really came. Much here about dementia and those in the home health care field, in Britain apparently called “carers”. Fine but I was expecting more.

pickWell that was wild. I think I preferred the first half .. and I think I‘m ready for a change of genre. But I‘ll be back to John Marrs again , he‘s tried and trusted now.
One newly washed dog and me ready for an early night … This book is a real page turner. I‘m halfway, not too happy with some of the plot developments… but loving the pure escapism of it all. John Marrs is such a good thriller writer. So glad to have discovered him here on Litsy @BarbaraBB 🙏♥️
pickMy favorite thing about John Marrs books is that your reach a conclusion but you still have plenty of book left and you KNOW there are more twists. Engaging from start to finish, I hit 10% left and thought it could be complete. But nay nay, there was one last thing to drop your jaw!
