Welcome to Litsy!

This one annoyed me - it's not bad (the writing was engaging) so much as underwhelming. I was expecting a juicy thriller with twists, turns & double crosses with a gobsmack of an ending - Dan Brown but well-written, if you will - and I didn't get one. Not really sure what the point of it all exactly is - it builds intrigue nicely, but doesn't do anything with it. I was left frustrated & feeling a little cheated.

Currently reading. This book will collect the final achievement for the Goodreads' Summer Challenge - Poolside Puzzlers.

When Theo travels with her wealthy fiance to his family's isolated compound in the mountains for Christmas, she hopes they won't look too deeply at her family background. Before it's over, secrets will be flying left and right, and not everyone will leave the mountain alive. I wasn't sure about this one at first--it initially seemed like the same old, same old--but by the end I was completely hooked.

Ooooh, this was such a good thriller! The premise is like Strangers on a Train (2 people meet who have both lost loved ones and want to kill the one responsible, and they agree to swap murders) but it goes way beyond that. It had me shocked on several occasions! I also liked Cavanagh‘s writing and would read more by him. I‘ve recommended this to a few customers and we all agree that it‘s a very strong thriller. (Zoe is not scared, though!)

An unsolved mystery from ten years ago seems to have ties to current murders. DI Chase is trying to find answers to the question of body parts found by fishermen in the Avon River. The entire department is looking for clues. Will they solve this case before the current missing man is among the dead? 4/5⭐️

Fantastic!
