Kill For Me Kill For You | Steve Cavanagh

One of my favorite Booktok influencers did not like this book. Perhaps this story has been done before but it kept me hooked the entire time. What a trip! Cavanagh is one of my favorite authors by far and he did not disappoint me with this story. It took me a minute to connect one of the main characters to the entire story line and I did figure out what was happening near the end but still suspenseful! Great book!

Another on audio. A quick read fortunately because I really disliked it. Not the main character although he wants me to but the time I spent listening to the same story from different sides. About a murder at a Greek island where seven annoying people have gathered from London to work some things out.
Don‘t bother reading it I‘d say.

TrishB I thought The Silent Patient was very over rated so I haven‘t bothered with any others. 6d
CSeydel I‘ve read two of his books (The Silent Patient, The Maidens) and found them both severely lacking. I can‘t understand how he keeps selling books :/ 6d

CSeydel @TrishB same! I only read The Maidens because my book club picked it and I felt generous. Mistake. It was very weak. 6d
BarbaraBB @CSeydel @TrishB I haven‘t read those and won‘t. Glad you think his books are lacking too. 6d
squirrelbrain I haven‘t read any by this author and now I won‘t! 6d
BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain Good decision. A bit of a waste of time 😀 6d
ChaoticMissAdventures @TrishB @CSeydel @BarbaraBB we need a club! I read his earlier 2 and hated them. The Maidens made me legit angry. I will never pick another up. 6d
BarbaraBB @ChaoticMissAdventures I am a bit angry too! And I wonder why I have missed your warnings and listened to this anyway! 6d
ChaoticMissAdventures @BarbaraBB there are so many terrible authors out there it is hard to keep up. I got fooled 2x by this guy, never again! He has a fan base, we are just not it. Because he is an idiot and we don't stand for that 😂 6d
BarbaraBB @ChaoticMissAdventures The Silent Patient was hyped so much. He must have a lot of fans! 5d
CarolynM I thought The Silent Patient was terrible. No more Michaelides for me 🤣 5d
BarbaraBB @CarolynM I should have known. How can I have missed your opinions on this writer?! 5d
TrishB @ChaoticMissAdventures @CarolynM @CSeydel I felt like everyone loved it at the time so good to hear! 5d
TrishB @squirrelbrain @Suet624 wise decisions! 5d
BarbaraBB @TrishB I thought so too! 5d

The Midnight Feast | Lucy Foley

The reader gets to hear from multiple different narrators, and the chapters cover events in both the present and the past, which is something that I really liked about this novel. All the different pieces came together well throughout the story. There were a lot of characters to keep track of, but I didn‘t find that there were unnecessary characters; each had something unique to add. The Midnight Feast kept me guessing as to who the wrongdoer was.

I certainly wasn‘t sure what to expect with this novel. It found it to be an interesting and engaging story. Gus, Mac and Theo were the main characters. Gus was an attorney, Mac a PI and Theo was a budding writer. There were many twists and turns, including a trip from Lawrence Kansas to Australia and back. Murders happened and scandals were running rampant. There wasn‘t any time when things stood still. A medium paced tale. 4/5

Writing was mid, motive questionable.

This started off strong but got so annoying in the second half that I wished they'd all just jump off a cliff.

Well written. Fast paced. Not too cliched. Overall not too bad. Just the ticket for a beach or plane read. Liz Nugents Lying in wait is a similar theme and I would highly recommend that.

Characters were absolutely awesome.

This wasn't just a thriller: there was a lot of scenes handling family relationships / broken family. But the mystery was there all the time and I was intrigued to know more.

This wasn't really original story, it was devastatingly easy to guess the most important things. I have to admit that I was expecting some great twist.

Captivating and entertaining to read.
