Another well-crafted and gripping addition to the Cormorán Strike detective series! Robin goes undercover in a cult to work on the case for Colin edensor trying to save his son Will. She endures starvation, humiliation, near drowning and sexual encounters to try to find an angle to disempower this malevolent group posing as do-gooders.

What a book. Once I started, I couldn't put it down. Wait has a gift for crafting complex and engrossing stories that really get under your skin and make you think and feel deeply.

Single mother Stephanie gets drawn into the fold of a self-proclaimed "Prophet" and brings her daughter, Judith, to live with his isolated cult. Cont'd in comments...

TheKidUpstairs Flipping back and forth between their time at The Ark and Judith's life as a young adult trying to live with the aftermath of a horrific event that has sent Stephanie to prison, The Followers builds stream towards a chilling and powerful conclusion. Highly Recommend. 1mo
squirrelbrain Ooh, this is one of hers I haven‘t read….tries not to rush off to buy it! 1mo

TheKidUpstairs @squirrelbrain and I just found out she's got a new book coming out in July in the UK 1mo
Suet624 I really liked this one too. 1mo
ErikasMindfulShelf I loved I‘m Sorry You Feel That Way. Definitely have to read more by her. 1mo
BarbaraBB One of my favorite authors! Can‘t wait for her new one, thanks for bringing it up! 1mo
TheKidUpstairs @ErikasMindfulShelf I'd definitely recommend this one, and Our Fathers was one of my top reads of 2024! 1mo
TheKidUpstairs @BarbaraBB she's just so good, eh? I don't know how she does it, but both of hers that I've read just suck you in from the very first page! I was so happy to hear she's got one coming out. 1mo

Same author, different L.A. Theatre Works play.

Spill by Leigh Fondakowski

Deepwater Horizon oil spill, not an edifying presentation.

BP resumed drilling in the Gulf of Mexico after a moratorium of less than five months. They‘ve paid $65B in fines, no one went to jail.

I‘m getting real creeps from the cult. Seriously, what is up with them. I‘ve got a weird feeling about them. I don‘t trust them.

GingerAntics Is this creeper planning to send her back to the stars? Kill her body? I‘m not okay with these weirdos. 2mo

This book made me want to cancel my lunch plans yesterday and stay home all day and read. I am so glad the higher praise Wait get on Litsy convinced me to give her another try after not loving another of her books because this story about a young mother and her daughter‘s journey through their involvement with a cult was fantastic.

Tamra High praise! I already have it stacked or I would. 4mo
sarahbarnes I loved this one too! 4mo
BarbaraBB I loved all her books except for me the most recent one which was just okay to me 4mo

Cathythoughts I‘m the same as @Tamra 4mo
Suet624 I agree with @BarbaraBB - Our Fathers is my favorite of hers. 4mo
Jas16 @BarbaraBB That is great to hear especially since that is also the book I didn‘t love. 4mo
Jas16 @Suet624 I ordered Our Fathers before I even finished The Followers. Really looking forward to it. 4mo
Suet624 @Jas16 Oh good. I can't wait for you to read it. 4mo
BarbaraBB Our Fathers is my favorite too! 4mo

Such a creepy/atmospheric read, just how Joe managed to create such a palpable, mesmerising read in a novella is a true credit to his writing skills. I devoured this in one sitting as I couldnt put it down, I just had to see where it would end and it did not disappoint as some novellas can when they seem to end abruptly once they have reached a certain word count. Such a well woven story for a compact read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
