Dark, tragic, & suspenseful, this is my favorite Hepworth yet. I wouldn‘t say I was particularly shocked by any of the twists, but I loved the intricacies of each plot line & how well-thought out it was. I felt the back & forth between past & present & the multiple point of views played perfectly in telling the story of Jessica, Norah, & Alicia. The characters are complex & multi-dimensional &made this more than just your typical mystery/thriller.

Hooked_on_books I really like her. This one felt a little different to me than her other mystery/thriller books. A little more of a literary angle, I think. I thought it was really well done. 9mo

Kristy_K @Hooked_on_books Yeah, I agree. I hope she continues writing books similar to this one. 9mo

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 9mo

BarbaraBB You finished it! 👍🏽 12mo

Kristy_K Good to know about the content warnings. I‘m on the fence about this one b/c sometimes that becomes too much for me. (edited) 12mo

jenniferw88 @Kristy_K, it's probably not for you then, as although I wasn't triggered, it definitely could for some people - I did find myself pausing it just after the tougher parts. I'm also pretty sure I've missed some triggers, but I think I've got the majority of the main ones listed here. 12mo

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 12mo

Everyone Who Can Forgive Me Is Dead: A Novel | Jenny Hollander

pick

For a book filled with horrible characters and an unreliable narrator, I just could not stop reading. I had a suspicion of one of the twists in this thriller, but there were definitely surprises.

Charlie survived Scarlet Christmas, a horrific incident at her journalism school that left 3 dead. She thinks she‘s coping, but is she? 9 years after the incident, her life begins to unravel as she addresses her trauma. So many secrets, so entertaining.

Librarybelle Thanks, @BarbaraBB ! 12mo

Hooked_on_books I think some of the best mystery/thrillers have all dreadful characters! It makes it more interesting and when it‘s a “who died?” situation, you‘re glad to get rid of any of them! 😂 12mo

Librarybelle @Hooked_on_books So true! I kind of like either really horrible people in books or the unreliable narrator…you never know what‘s going to happen! 12mo

Kristy_K Great book for this prompt! 12mo

Librarybelle Thanks, @Kristy_K ! 12mo

Master Key | Masako Togawa

Wow, I loved this twisty (& twisted) book filled with mysteries that takes place in an apartment building for women residents leading up to the building being moved due to road construction. A master key which disappears drives much of the story. I literally laughed out loud in surprise at the end & it had me rereading the very beginning. What a macabre gem! I am using this for #toldinnonchronologicalorder for #52bookclub

BarbaraBB This is such a fun read! I‘ve meant to read more by him ever since. 12mo

vivastory @BarbaraBB I really liked “The Lady Killer“ I don't see that Pushkin Vertigo has pub. any others by him. I just ordered two other books from Pushkin Vertigo that I'm excited about 12mo

BarbaraBB I‘ll go after The Lady Killer! Which other books did you order? 12mo

vivastory @BarbaraBB I ordered “Crush“ by Frédéric Dard & “The Tattoo Murder“ by Takagi. Have you read either one? I've heard good things about both, esp about Dard who has frequently been compared to Simenon 12mo

LeahBergen This sounds fab! Stacked! 12mo

batsy I loved this too! Masako Tagawa was a woman and her bio on Wikipedia is so intriguing. If memory serves me right think the place in this book was inspired by her childhood home. @BarbaraBB 12mo

vivastory @batsy That's so interesting! 🤯 12mo

BarbaraBB @batsy Wow, I didn‘t know! Super interesting! 12mo

BarbaraBB @vivastory I haven‘t heard of those but both sound fab! 12mo
