Welcome to Litsy!

Woke up early so watching the film. I seen it before read book 3 times.

I‘ve enjoyed this author‘s novels before but I REALLY liked this one! This is my favorite of hers so far! Putting all the pieces together kept me listening to this audiobook, as did the great narration. The characters are all deliciously twisted and most are unlikable in the best possible way. Definitely recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Because this was an ARC from Netgalley, I gave it 50%
The first 50% was fine enough and did keep my interest a bit, but I didn't care about any of the characters and I couldn't keep any of them straight.

Around 80% it finally started picking up. But the twist... it was unpredictable, yes, but not at all satisfying.
The epilogue just shot through the story. I would have liked the author to take her time a bit more.

"There was a moment not long ago when I thought: This is it. I'm dead. "

I initially started this book a while back and then re-started it. I went through it rather quick, as a psychological thriller it does make you want to keep reading. However, I can‘t really pinpoint when, perhaps the last few chapters, but after finishing the book, I just felt indifferent. 😐

Terrible. Read this book before; it‘s called Verity. This is a poor substitute

I finished this in mid March. This is the 3rd book in the Frankie Elkin series & while enjoyable & still a good read it seemed long to me. I enjoy Frankie as a character & her experiences but the case itself was so specific & out there that my attention waned at times. If you‘ve read the other books in the series then you should read this one too! & this one could also be read as a standalone.

I read this for book club back in early March. After discussing it there I made my review lower. There really weren‘t enough characters for a locked room mystery. And there was discussion of the twist being that there is no twist and how it plays out the way you think it would. While I loved The Silent Patient, it seems like Michaelides‘ books are on a downhill trajectory from there. I‘d get this one from the library if you want to read this one.

I think I know what happened here, but it is definitely a book that ends and you go what?!
I was intrigued and I kept listening to this on audiobook, but I can‘t say I necessarily liked it. Should I check out the movie? 3⭐️

Faced paced, entertaining, and twisty. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
