pickThis has to be one of the most psychologically manipulative books I‘ve ever read - it‘s a 5 star read for me, yet it feels wrong to say I loved this. The things the characters do to each other in this novel is twisted and heartbreaking. There was one point in the book that I felt an anxiety attack coming on - it‘s that vivid.
Kudos to Christie for crafting such a memorable book. #LMWBR #MaryWestmacottBuddyRead #Westmakittens

Deblovestoread I haven‘t read any of Christie‘s written under a pseudonym. Your review makes it very intriguing. 9mo

Librarybelle Thanks, @Ruthiella ! I just could not believe the manipulation…and the price paid for it! 9mo
Librarybelle @Deblovestoread They‘re a little different - no murders, of course! - but her dive into humanity and psychology has been quite enjoyable and really spot on. She makes the stories feel so real. 9mo
Librarybelle And, I just realized, this is my #BookSpin for #BookSpinBingo ! @TheAromaofBooks 9mo
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! I tried two of her Westmacott books and they didn't work for me. But now you have me wondering if I should try again haha 9mo
Librarybelle @TheAromaofBooks I‘ve liked the Westmacott books I‘ve read so far, but this one is probably my favorite of them. 9mo
Crazeedi @Librarybelle wow, sounds like a book that really gets to you, I'm rather afraid to even try, the stress may be too much right now, lol 9mo
Librarybelle @Crazeedi Some pretty anxious moments for sure! 9mo
CSeydel Great review. This is such a powerful novel. I had read it once before and I have to say, I was a little bit dreading going through all that again. But reading it a second time I‘m seeing different details as well. Heartbreaking 9mo
Librarybelle Thanks, @CSeydel ! I love how Christie‘s works, no matter how many times you may reread one of them, you always find new details missed from prior readings. This one is truly heartbreaking. 9mo
so-so
