This one was surprising! I could not guess that ending if I tried. But let‘s all be honest, the minute any normal person experienced the spider situation, they would‘ve been GONE lol.

4 Stars • This novel follows Frank Szatowski, who reconnects with his estranged daughter Maggie for her wedding. The event is set at a luxurious estate, where she's marrying Aidan, son of a tech billionaire. Frank feels out of place and grows suspicious of Aidan and his family due to their evasiveness and the locals' hostility. His investigation reveals dark secrets, blending themes of family, class, and the protective instinct of a parent.

November 23, 2024 I checked out Books Inc again and I stumbled upon this book. I love thrillers and I love authors who leave reviews on the back of other authors who write thrillers. So i am like "WHY NOT". I bought this book and I am in love with the cover. The cover caught my attention and I have heard many good things about it ✌?My TBR

I really enjoyed this book. While it is a suspense novel, at its heart it is a tale about parental love and how far we would go to protect our child. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters of Frank and his sister Tammy, but especially loved the addition of Abigail, a smart 10 year old foster child. The story elicited feelings of both distaste and sadness for the characters, broken up by lots of humour. Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the digital ARC. 4.5/5

My November #doublespin ! I was pretty bored with this bored.. a lot of fluff that I didn‘t understand the point of it 🤷🏻‍♀️.. the twist was the best part, but was just ok.. I think a so-do‘s probably being nice.

Starting book #27 of the year.

I found a new artist to listen to while reading.

And I've got the cozy vibes going strong with the purple lights and candles going.

you ever listened to the audio of a book and wondered if your experience would have been equally enjoyable in print? That‘s what happened to me here as narrator, John Pirhalla, captured the essence of Frank Szatowski so perfectly. The good of bad intentions of everyone else paled compared to my hope for Frank‘s satisfaction. I googled this narrator and I‘ve only experienced one other of his 400+narrations!

DogMomIrene Sweet! This one‘s on my TBR but I‘ll be looking for the audiobook now. Thanks. 1mo
marleed @DogMomIrene oh, I can‘t wait to read your thoughts! I‘m trying to pay closer attention to the narrators of the books I experience via audio. I have some voices I recognize immediately and it‘s always fun to hear another excellent narrator unknown to me. 1mo
DogMomIrene @marleed I‘ve been doing the same thing with paying attention to the narrators‘ names. I love listening to memoirs being read by the author, but finding a new to me voice actor who kicks butt is a nice score. 1mo

3.5⭐
While it wasn‘t as good as Hidden Pictures, it was still an interesting tale, although it was a bit peculiar.
The narration by John Pirhalla was excellent.

MyNamesParadise This is my mystery thriller book club‘s pick for December so will be reading it in November. I have the physical book though. Hidden Pictures was so good! It would be hard to top it! 1mo

Is it just me or was the big twist pretty obvious? It was still a good page turner, though!

I‘m not sure how I feel about this one. I loved the beginning. It really gets you in, and you feel like you know exactly what you‘re getting: a murder-who-dunnit. But then it started getting weird. I was so interested to see how this all wrapped up, and it kept me reading. But then the ending was a big ol‘ UGH!!!

I think I liked it enough to give it 4⭐️. I think. I‘M ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH THIS ONE!

I loved Rekulak‘s debut novel! Here, narrator Frank is a widower, a Gold Circle winning driver for UPS (25 years accident free!) but estranged from his daughter, Maggie. Eager to repair the relationship, Frank‘s behavior when Maggie reaches out after 3 years to tell him she‘s getting married, is a little cringy but his love is clear. But, so is his devotion to doing the right thing which leads him into his own investigation on the wedding weekend!

I took too long to read Hidden Pictures. If you haven‘t yet … pick it up!! So when I started listening to this book I was thinking it was gonna be good but I got carried away & finished it in 1 sitting!

A dad, Frank tells this story. The book opens with him being sad that his wife has passed and his estranged daughter Maggie is contacting him for the first time in a long while to invite him to her wedding.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👇🏻

Twainy Uncle Frank comes across a bit curmudgeony when he picks up his sister and her new foster child Abigail and they head to the wedding weekend.

Frank is unsettled. He is adamant that something is wrong & starts investigating. I think I see why his daughter was estranged. Before long you‘re wondering if maybe something is wrong.

Twainy I loved the vibes!! And I loved the foreshadowing and putting the mystery together with Frank. Frank grows so much but do you ever outgrown being a parent? At its core the story is about family and what you do for them no matter what.

I‘ve found an auto buy author!

Read an advanced manuscript of the new Jason Rekulak and it was so good! The rich seem to always get away with everything and this explores that further as a widowed father tries to protect his estranged daughter who is marrying into a tech-billionaire family. The foster child Abigail was my favorite character and I love how her storyline develops.
A strong thriller I finished in a few days. The ending is a bit abrupt but it does answer it all.
