I finished Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth and believe this is the author's finest work to date. 5 Stars My Review


Darling Girls is an intense, heart wrenching, beautifully rendered domestic thriller with a shocking, unpredictable climax. I've enjoyed watching the evolution of this author's work.

I finished Random in Death by J.D. Robb, In Death #58, and it was an excellent procedural!

And I listened to Gulf Coast Reunion by Maggie Miller.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I finished The Teacher by Freida McFadden and found it to be a masterpiece of illusions with unreliable characters and scandalous twists. 4.5 Stars My Review.

McFadden's books should come with a highly addictive warning label in neon colors on the front cover. She's becoming the Queen of last second, last page shockers that no one sees coming.

Accidentally His by Sabrina Jeffries 🎧5-Stars

My Review*

I finished "Say Nothing" by Brad Parks. It tells the harrowing story of a federal judge whose six-year-old twins are kidnapped in order to control his ruling on an important case which is soon to come before him. It kept me up much too late because I couldn't wait to learn the outcome. I suspected everybody but never felt sure who was responsible until the author chose to reveal it. If you want to have your emotions strained to the breaking point and maybe shed a few tears, this is a good choice.

Today I listened to Find You First by Linwood Barclay.
