Welcome to Litsy!

I absolutely loved the first 2/3s of this book and then it went sideways down the predictable tedious and uninspiring rabbit hole. Still the writing was good even if the ending and the “reveal” left me dissatisfied. Disappointing after The ex which I thoroughly enjoyed.

How well do you actually know your best friends? Maybe not as good as you think. Three best friends go on a weekend trip to the Hamptons. They put a note on a car, but what happens next they never expected. I thought this was going to be better. It didn't keep my attention like I thought it would. I have been sick, so that could probably be it, bc I usually really like Burke's books.

It was meant to be a harmless prank.

It‘s an intricate and well-plotted mystery that will keep you turning pages. Burke maybe tries to do a bit Too Much with it, but she‘s crafted a really fascinating character in Kelsey, the real estate heiress who is widely suspected of murdering her estranged husband.

Overall, 'The Note' is a well-written and engaging thriller with complex characters, a compelling mystery, and a thought-provoking exploration of friendship and betrayal. This is an immersive and addictive novel that is perfect for readers who enjoy suspenseful stories with well-developed characters. The novel has something for everyone who enjoys thrillers or a story that delves into the complexities of female friendships.

Kicked off the new year with a fresh Back Room event! Hosted by authors Hank Phillippi Ryan and Karen Dionne, this event featured authors Alafair Burke, Joseph Finder, Rachel Howzell Hall, and Lisa Williamson Rosenberg. It was an absolute blast listening to these writers chat about books, puzzles, and even their other jobs. I wrote about my experience on my blog.
