Welcome to Litsy!

Totally crazy!!!

I read this for book club & really did not enjoy it. I listened to the audiobook. It wasn‘t paced well & I kept going back & forth on being into & not. The characters aren‘t developed & I just didn‘t really care about what was going on. It was also way too long at 11 hours & didn‘t get interesting until 9 hours in. There is a twist at the end, but not caring about the characters I was just like “ok”. I do not recommend this one!

“Highsmithian” says a blurb about this book. But that‘s way too much praise. Characters were caricatures in this book, no comparison to Patricia Highsmith‘s.

A woman in her 80s and a boy of 8 years old trying to destroy each other in a luxury hotel in Egypt during the pandemic. Too far fetched to my taste. The ending was far fetched too but I liked that twist the best.

•An engagingly diabolical story where you‘re left trying to figure out who was the unreliable one. Unfortunately, I did have a few issues. 1. I‘m pretty sure the covid stuff was a turn-off for me. I lived through it, don‘t want to read about it. 2. The MC's meddling ways were overly annoying, & 3, I saw the end coming, although I didn't see that extreme, because wow, it was unhinged.

What a twist! Definitely wasn‘t expecting that!👵🏼

An old woman and a young boy face off at a hotel where a cover might get blown…

What a twisted story! I had no idea what I was getting into. The premise sounded like a fun mystery, and a battle between youth and age, but this sucker was messed up. I'm pretty sure I audibly gasped more than once 😂. It's a wild ride, and if you are looking for dark and irreverent, this one's for you! This was hand-sold to me in one of my favorite book stores, recommended by the owner.

This was brilliant.

A creepy suspense novel set in a hotel in Luxor. Starts innocent enough and then gets dark really fast, approaching psychological horror.

The protagonist is a woman in her 80s who has been hotel hopping and meddling in others' beeswax since the death of her husband. SHE IS ABOUT TO MEET HER NEMESIS.

Highsmithian was right. This was right up my street.
