2.5⭐
• mystery thriller suspense • isolated setting • unlikable MCs • alternating timelines • alternating POVs •
I should probably part ways with this author, but she utilizes some of my favorite narrators, so I keep giving her another chance. Her characters are so whiny and uninteresting that she makes even my favorite narrators sound off their game. Unfortunately, the character's shortcomings ruined the whole vibe for me.

•My Score 4.54/10•

Elizabeth2 Whiny characters are a pet peeve of mine too. Sometimes, books just don't work for us! Hope your next read is more engaging and just what you are looking for! ❤️📚 2h
KT1432 Yep! It‘s a shame because this should‘ve been a home run for me! The isolated setting in a snowstorm with a writer and a murder mystery? Such a great premise. And the characters were VERY whiny lol. (edited) 1h

I‘m down to only a few states before my #ReadTheUSA map is complete— & this #TrueCrime scratched #Delaware off my list! Rule‘s reputation proceeded her in this first experience with her writing. It‘s certainly a detailed exploration of Anne Marie Fahey‘s murder. Giving family background, & a thorough timeline both leading up to the murder & the official investigation that followed, this is a lengthy listen but still manages to unfold quickly.

It was the last couple chapters that brought this one up to a low pick for me.

I found this to be an interesting story, and I appreciate the many threads Summerscale was trying to weave together here: the murders themselves; the lascivious nature of the press and public interest in them; the racial tensions of the time; public attitudes towards women, sex work, and violence towards women.

TheKidUpstairs But for much of the book I found the different ideas and threads uneven, and it seemed to bounce around without touching too deeply on anything. The last couple chapters finally started to dig a bit deeper, but it was a bit too late to be fully successful.

I'm glad I read it, but I can see why it wasn't shortlisted amidst a strong Women's Prize for NF list this year.

I really enjoyed Ashley Elston's adult thriller Frist Lie Wins, so I decided to pick up one of her other books. However, this one didn't work for me. I found it really predictable and kind of boring.

However, I think young readers would really enjoy it.

Sometimes I enjoy YA - and sometimes the characters annoy me so much I can‘t even focus on the plot. Unfortunately, this is the latter.

PuddleJumper I feel that. I've read some really good YA and some that make me eye roll 3w

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Kill For Me, Kill For You” is a mystery thriller with numerous plot twists that gave you surprises up to the very end. This novel was gripping and entertaining, however I‘m still not sure how I liked the ending.
