so-soI almost always find McFadden's books to be well developed with a complete out of left field twist at the end. This time around I came away somewhat disappointed. The story stressed me out something fierce, which isn't neceoa bad thing, but I want it to all come together in the end. And with this #audiobook, I didn't even like the ending. Some of the twist I was down for; however, the actual ending itself seemed contrived and irritating. 3.5 ⭐
pickThis book was a pick, but a low one, for me. The story of a father and his daughter living in the deep woods for years, a place to hide from an event in the past, should have been in my wheelhouse. It‘s not a mystery, it‘s not a thriller, it felt like an expanded short story. And I had a few questions at the end. 🤷🏻♀️ With this book, I completed my reading goal for the year. I had kept the goal low, hoping I‘d read my New Yorkers. I did not.
pickThis was a cute, fun read. Enjoyed the blend of mystery and romance. The romance didn‘t overpower the mystery and the diverse cast of characters were all fully three dimensional and interesting. Although it was a mystery and there were some serious elements in it, it was also cheerful and uplifting. Really liked it.
(After pulling all the plants from the flower boxes I decided to leave this one in. Seems like the frost didn‘t damage it!) I‘m enjoying this story but am finding myself still involved with the characters I left behind in a previous book. I might need another day to transition to this one. Anyone else ever experience a similar book/character hangover?
Need another change of genre …. Reading things too heavy emotionally lately 😑
so-soThis book was a slow read. It felt like there was a lot going on in the story to keep up with. Not one of my favorites. The ending was quite the twist. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickOctober 29, 2024 Overall, I would give this book 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I was constantly fooled about the suspect involved even though (whom should not be named) appeared multiple times sounding like an honest person except towards the end. Sorry, if you want to know what happens, read the book 😆
pickOctober 29, 2024 Another one for the books haha What a pun! Anyhow, this book was a thriller that I could not stop reading. I would say an absolute page turner. Thrillers are another one of my favs because they keep me thinking and guessing who the suspect is. In this case, it was _____________ who was involved in both of the killings. Oh my gosh, did you think that I was going to spoil for you who the individual was accused of the two cases? Nope
