AmandaBlaze Dark Halloween, a flash fiction anthology. 6mo

BoleyBooks @AmandaBlaze is it good so far? 🤓 6mo

AmandaBlaze Some are really good. However, a lot resort to gore to get their point home. I usually read kids‘ Halloween books in between as a palate cleanser. 6mo

BoleyBooks @AmandaBlaze good idea 👍 an occasional switch up is needed. Happy Reading! 😊 6mo

November 1975, ten-year-old Miranda Larkin comes home from school to find her house eerily quiet. Her mother is missing. Nothing else is out of place. There is no sign of struggle. Her mom's pocketbook remains in the front hall, in its usual spot. So begins a mystery that will span a lifetime. What happened to Jane Larkin?

Andrew65, TheSpineView, TheAromaofBooks

EadieB What happened to Jane Larkin? Investigators suspect Jane's husband. A criminal defense attorney, Dan Larkin would surely be an expert in outfoxing the police. But no evidence is found linking him to a crime, and the case fades from the public's memory, a simmering, unresolved riddle. Jane's three children--Alex, Jeff, and Miranda--are left to be raised by the man who may have murdered their mother. 11mo

EadieB Two decades later, the remains of Jane Larkin are found. The investigation is awakened. The children, now grown, are forced to choose sides. With their father or against him? Guilty or innocent? And what happens if they are wrong? A tale about family--family secrets and vengeance, but also family love--All That Is Mine I Carry With Me masterfully grapples with a primal question: When does loyalty reach its limit? 11mo

EadieB I have read Defending Jacob and was looking forward to reading a new book by William Landay. I was not disappointed and found his book to be very interesting. The characters were very believable and real. The plot was one that took me through the book quickly as I had to find out what happened to Jane Larkin. The ending was a twist that I did not see coming and I think you need to read this book and find out what happened to Joan. 11mo

EadieB I am now looking forward to another book by Landay and hope I don't have to wait as long as I waited for this one. 11mo

Andrew65 Another excellent review. 11mo

EadieB @Andrew65 Thanks! 11mo

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 11mo

TheSpineView Fantastic! 11mo

Defending Jacob: A Novel | William Landay

So, because I didn‘t finish this for 2020 (I only got 50 pages in), I started it over again yesterday so that it‘ll be book 1 of 2021. I‘m 300 pages in, I‘m enthralled, and I can ABSOLUTELY see Chris Evans being amazing as Andy. (Of course, I love him always, but Andy is simultaneously right in his wheelhouse and also against type and I love a good divergence. Can‘t wait to finish the book so I can watch the series!) #defendingjacob #williamlanday

I definitely want to watch the series at some point (duh, love of my life Chris Evans AND my princess Michelle Dockery!!), but I wanted to read the book first. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #defendingjacob #williamlanday

Defending Jacob: A Novel | William Landay

An emotion is a thought, yes, an idea, but it is also a sensation, an ache in your body. Desire, love, hate, fear, repulsion - you feel these things in your muscle and bones, not just in your mind.
-Defending Jacob, William Landay

Defending Jacob was a good book with many interesting quotes.

Pretty Baby | Mary Kubica

pick

📚AMAZON KINDLE MAY DEAL ALERT 📚 - My top 2 Mystery/Thriller books for May are #AsGoodAsGone and #PrettyBaby 📚 I loved reading both of these. Both are fast-paced, edge of your seat type reads. This is Amy Gentry's break-out novel and I look forward to reading more! Mary Kubica is an established author (The Good Girl and Don't You Cry). Great deals! Highly recommend both!

melbeautyandbooks I agree! 7y

Jess7 @melbeautyandbooks I'm glad you liked these and recommend them! I have liked Mary Kubica for awhile, but I was super impressed and beyond excited to discover Amy Gentry. I love stumbling across new authors and expanding my goto author list for mystery/thriller novels bc I have read plenty of books by new authors that were just so-so. Not the case with Amy Gentry! She is excellent! 7y

melbeautyandbooks @Jess7 - Yes! Mystery/thrillers are my favorite! It is so great to find a new author that you really like. The only downside is, there are no other books of theirs to read right away. There are so many mystery/thriller authors out there, but they are definitely not all fabulous. I'm looking forward to Amy Gentry's next book (whenever she writes one). And Mary Kubica's is coming soon! Yay for us. 7y

Jess7 @melbeautyandbooks absolutely! I'm excited for #EveryLastLie ! I discovered Gilly MacMillan the same time I found Amy Gentry. If you haven't read her books yet, try them out #ThePerfectGirl and #WhatSheKnew. I haven't read WSK yet, but I plan to. She also has a new one coming out, Odd Child Out. Who are some of your favorite mystery/thriller authors? 7y

melbeautyandbooks @Jess7 - I read both of those. They were really good. Tana French is a favorite for sure. Linwood Barclay and Chevy Stephens. The late, great Henning Mankell. Karin Slaughter, Jennifer McMahon, and SJ (Sharon) Bolton. Who are your favorites? 7y

Jess7 @melbeautyandbooks I haven't read #TanaFrench yet, but she is on my list. Which of her books should I read first? The only #KarinSlaughter book I read was #PrettyGirls and although is was suspenseful, the torture scenes were too much for me and that's saying a lot bc I like dark twisted characters. #TheOneILeftBehind by #JenniferMcMahon is on my to read list. Never heard of the others. 7y

Jess7 Some of my favorite authors of this genre: Gillian Flynn, Mary Kubica, Amy Gentry, Gilly MacMillan, Abigail Haas, Holly Brown, Megan Miranda, Kate Morton, Kimberly McCreight, Liane Moriarty, Ruth Ware, Herman Koch. (edited) 7y

melbeautyandbooks @Jess7- I would start with In the Woods. It is the first in the series, although that doesn't matter that much because this series doesn't follow the same main character in each book. The main character of one, might be a secondary character in another. It's just a really good book of hers. Yes Karin Slaughter does write some rough stuff.

In the Woods

Jess7 I've also read some by these authors that were good, but not great for me: Jessica Knoll, Emma Healy, Calia Reed, Lauren Oliver, and Kate Morietti. I liked William Landay (Defending Jacob) too. On my to read list: Erin Kelly, Barbra Kingsolver (the poison wood bible), Peter Swanson, BA Paris, Louise Jenson, Heidi Pitlor, Kate Hamer, AJ banner, Marcia Clark (I've read her nonfiction, but not fiction), Terri blackstock, Fiona Barton, Sharon guskin 7y

melbeautyandbooks We have similar tastes for sure. I have read all of them except Abigail Haas, Holly Brown, and Kate Morton. I will have to add them to my list. I just finished All the Missing Girls and I'm about to start The Perfect Stranger. 7y

Jess7 @melbeautyandbooks I liked #DangerousGirls by Abigail Haas. I haven't read her second one Dangerous Boys yet. I read #DontTryToFindMe by Holly Brown. I couldn't get through #TheNecessaryEnd (too slow of a start). I loved #TheLakeHouse by Kate Morton. She is very detailed which I don't usually like, but I loved this book. I plan to read #DistantHours or #TheSecretKeeper next 7y

melbeautyandbooks @Jess7 - Defending Jacob was great. I was just talking to someone on Litsy recently about how he hasn't written another book since then. I recognize some of those names, but I don't think I have read any, except Peter Swanson-liked. BA Paris- only read one and it was good not great for me. I've heard Marcia Clark's fiction is pretty good. Haven't read any yet though. 7y

Jess7 @melbeautyandbooks #WilliamLanday had two other books - #MissionFlats and #TheStrangler but I haven't read them yet. #ThekindworthKilling by #peterswanson is first on my list 7y

melbeautyandbooks @Jess7 The Kind Worth Killing was really good. I liked Her Every Fear, too. I read Mission Flats, but not The Strangler. 7y
