Welcome to Litsy!

Normally, I‘m happy to blow past spoiler warnings to tell you the full story – but the twist in this one is so powerful, so brutal, and so laboriously built up, that I‘ve decided to hold back. Unfortunately, that makes my review a short one, as there‘s not a lot more I can say about I Saw A Man without revealing too much. Here it is, anyway: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/i-saw-a-man-owen-sheers/

This title is a gripping read and very well written. However the story becomes a little preposterous and unlikely. Ultimately it was a dissatisfying story but a joy to read in the descriptions of people and emotions.

Beautifully written but hard to categorise. Sold as a crime novel but definitely not that! Draws you in but painfully slowly - it takes the lead character over a hundred pages to get to the top of the stairs. And why are we suddenly in Arizona? Owen Sheers has amazing talent - read this for the love of the English language - but this book needs focus and patience to get the best from it.

Hard to review a thriller without giving anything away! Although I had some problems with the ending, this is a compulsive read, and extremely well written. With themes of grief, guilt and loss this isn‘t a light read, but the main characters aren‘t demanding you like them, so I was able to stay as an dispassionate observer of their worlds. Not my most favourite book, but worth reading. #wellwrittenthriller #willsoonbeamovieimsure

Starting in on my new Book Club‘s book! #bookclubs #somethingdifferent

We‘ve got a great new little Indie bookshop in the neighbourhood. Just signed up for their Bookclub. The book seems to have mixed reviews, but looking forward to reading something different and then meeting some new folk! #bookishchat #bookclubs #newfriends

Love the feeling of starting a new book 📚 -Couldn't get into this at all. Had to give up (and I hate doing this) but really wasn't following. Might put it into the back of my Collection and go back to it again.

Too much description and not enough story line for my liking an OK read. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

The description in this book goes a little too far sometimes. Stating the obvious to fill a page.

"...what he knew now, (...) that there was a birth into maturity beyond having children or losing your parents. It was the birth of an amputated love."

Entertaining read, but nothing extraordinary.

Feels good to have finally finished another great book. Owen Sheers does magic with words.

A very interesting & cleverly written read. I am really glad I picked this one up.

Halfway through & enjoying it a lot. 👌
