Picked this one up at the free little library in our work breakroom a while back. Finally getting around to it.
Anyone have any thoughts to share on it?
Thankful for the fact that I work for a company which employs many bookworms and we have a free little library set up in our break room! This one caught my eye today, anyone have any thoughts?!
pickI finished this one in two days. Suspenseful and dramatic. I loved it🙌
Today‘s shift is a little crazy, and I‘m glad to be spending my supper break listening to this audiobook. So far I‘m loving it.
Today's Word: POCKETFUL
A pocketful of suspense. :)

so-soHuh. Well. This was a quick read but the "twist" felt a little forced?
Heading to bed early to get a chunk of reading under my belt for #boutofbooks!
bailedI don't know if it's just the mood I'm in or what, but it just isn't holding my interest. I'm really not even one to bail on a book, but I went ahead and skipped to the end to see who did it, and I wasn't surprised at all.
Picked this up from the library today, hope I have a good time reading it. I've been wanting to read it for a year.
"It isn't the big things Peter does that make her want to leave him; it's more the smaller things, like sticking her in his pocket in the middle of a thought - these demeaning, shrinking things he does that make her feel as trivial as a sneeze."
pick3.5 ⭐️s. The mentally ill, unreliable narrator (Dana) gave this book a frenetic pace. The author did make you feel like you were in Dana's head and it was not a fun place. The minor negatives for me- It dragged on a bit too long in places. The ending was a little too quickly tied up after the time it took to get there. It was well-written overall and I would read another book by this author. 4th book of #biblioweekend. 🍾📚

Happy Monday! We're back to work and picking up a fun suspense novel while we're at it. Who is reading any good thrillers right now? 📚
pickEnjoyed this "who done it" novel. Lots of dynamics played out with unfaithful spouse, mental health issues, divorce, and estranged parent/child relationship. Likable characters. Overall a really good read. Plus, this was my first audiobook through Overdrive...thanks to the awesome Litsy community!!! ❤️ you guys!
This sounds like the perfect start to a good thriller...
pickDouble book book club! One night only!
All but one of us liked this book; the fast pace of the story, the bipolar heroine with the sketchy memory, and the ending were all pluses. A good read.
so-soBetween Desperate Houswifes and Law&Order, but it lacks of key elements tipical of crime fictions. Crawford is definitely a talented writer, and this book is a successful debut. Well-written and intriguing storyline and a powerfull psychological component. Disappointing conclusion,easy and quick.
"Her mind is a muddle, a puddle, a murk. The chaos and confusion are still there, but the bright, sharp sparks are gone, the volume turned down on her madness."
Mystery, murder, mayhem, secrets, lies, plenty of twist and turns. Throw in some fears, torment, tiny notes and no one is not under suspicion of what actually happened and who is to blame.
