He Will Be My Ruin: A Novel | K.A. Tucker
34 posts | 43 read | 55 to read
A nail-biting thriller...clever twists and turns will keep readers in suspense, and just when they think they have figured out what happened to Celine, the story veers in another direction.Publishers Weekly Tucker beguiles in this dark, twisty tale of lurid secrets, lavish lifestyles, and devastating loss. Once you start reading, you wont stop. Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling authorA woman who almost had it all . . . On the surface, Celine Gonzalez had everything a twenty-eight-year-old woman could want: a one-bedroom apartment on Manhattans Lower East Side, a job that (mostly) paid the bills, and an acceptance letter to the prestigious Hollingsworth Institute of Art, where she would finally live out her dream of becoming an antiques appraiser for a major auction house. All she had worked so hard to achieve was finally within her reach. So why would she kill herself? A man who was supposed to be her salvation . . . Maggie Sparkes arrives in New York City to pack up whats left of her best friends belongings after a suicide that has left everyone stunned. The police have deemed the evidence conclusive: Celine got into bed, downed a lethal cocktail of pills and vodka, and never woke up. But when Maggie discovers a scandalous photograph in a lock box hidden in Celines apartment, she begins asking questions. Questions about the man Celine fell in love with. The man she never told anyone about, not even Maggie. The man Celine believed would change her life. Until he became her ruin. On the hunt for evidence that will force the police to reopen the case, Maggie uncovers more than she bargained for about Celines private lifeand inadvertently puts herself on the radar of a killer. A killer who will stop at nothing to keep his crimes undiscovered.

First finished book for #Scarathlon2021 🖤

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook, and will definitely be checking out more from this author. I‘m sure it will count towards more than just the following events, but I‘ll do all my point calculations after my shift tonight!

Dangerously close to a DNF (which I almost never do)... only kept up with it because I woke up in the middle of the night and this was the only thing on the bedside table to occupy me. Just about everything was Soooo Damn Cliché!
Disappointing ? but seems I‘m in the minority on this one.

#FierceFeb #TooManyCreeps 📚These six books all feature stalker-ish creeps, which is definitely too many creeps. I have read them all & could have easily added more from my stacks. It seems that I have a fondness for thrillers featuring creeps. 😱😬

I think that catches us up after the little disappearing issue.

@Marmie7 I just want you to know that due to the ummm... complication with a couple of #whodunitbymail books, I haven‘t yet received the book I need to have to you by 12/4. 😳 @Alfoster was kind enough to get replacement books sent out. Things will get really hectic at work starting Friday (I work retail) so I‘ll do my best to get it out to you ASAP.

BibliophileMomma It‘s all good. We are all aware of the issues and know that it may delay rotations. So take your time and read your book when you can. No worries. We‘re all friends here and completely understand. 6y
Marmie7 No problem! I have plenty of books and other things to occupy my time😁 6y

I've been wanting to read this book since I heard about it.

The story had me hooked from the first words written in it. I couldn't put the book down and had to figure out what in the world was going on with all the characters. The author did a great job writing the characters and I felt a connection with all of them.

I think this would be a good series or a series spinoff. I want to know about the other characters!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#JuneTunz #taintedlove Catching up from yesterday. 😬 Psychological mystery/thrillers are an easy place to find tainted love. All of these books I've read had relationships that were, or went very badly-from fraudulent, to abusive, to downright murderous. 🖤🌹😱

I saw that there was an Audible sale on a post from my Litsy friend @GypsyKat so of course I couldn't resist! I picked up a 7 new books this week if you include the daily deals and the kindle add ons. Hopefully the rest of the daily deals this week will be horrible so I won't be tempted! 😂

5/5 ⭐️ This is firmly an adult read. There were so many players in this murder investigation that I was completely absorbed in the story so I wouldnt miss a single clue. This is a serious page turner and excellently complex. I won't say more because I don't want to spoils anything, but this is a great murder mystery. Keep in mind it involves enough sex that I don't recommend for under 18

JoeStalksBeck I was wondering about this book! Thanks for the review ! I will def check it out 8y

Compelling, dark thriller-pulled me right into the action & story. Starts w/ main character bound in a car trunk & book leads up to how she got there. Thought I had it figured out but there were some good twists at the end. I paired it w/ No-Bake Chocolate Shortbread. Snap it up-$1.99 on Kindle now.

Gulfsidemusing May not be my kind of book, but would love the recipe!😋 8y

This was a fast-paced read that kept me on toes. I will admit that it was a bit cheesy towards the end, but I still enjoyed it. I've been slumpy, so it was nice to read a book that kept me turning the pages.

A well-paced psychological thriller that kept me guessing. The protagonist is feisty and yet foolish but, she's determined to prove her friend did not commit suicide. Try it!
