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.

Littlewolf1 I have this issue with YA a lot. Its sad because I know there tons of 5⭐️ YAs out there, but the one that are so off turns me away from them. 3w
willaful I try them less and less. 3w
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.

This was a fun, quick read. I kind of had the murderer figured out, but I still enjoyed the ride. The end was WAY too abrupt though. It was like ‘build up, build up, BUILD UP CLIMAX over. Aso here‘s the murderer.‘ Kind of anti-climatic.
