59 posts | 33 read | 44 to read
A riveting new thriller from author D.J. Palmer about a mother accused of deliberately making her daughter sicka phenomenon known as Munchausen Syndrome by Proxyand the secrets and lies that are revealed. The Gerard family has lived a charmed life. Carl is a highly successful residential developer with millions in the bank who married his high school sweetheart, Becky, and they have a beautiful daughter, Meghan. But when Meghan is suddenly struck with a mysterious illness that starts out as chronic headaches and joint pain but progresses rapidly to affect her cognitive ability, the family begins to fracture as they search desperately for a diagnosis and and a cure for Meghans suffering. Dr. Zachary Fisher, a pediatrician and the foremost expect on a rare mitochondrial disease, might just be the answer to their prayers. After the death of his own son, Dr. Fisher dedicated his life to finding a way to cure the disease with a passion that borders on obsession, and he is convinced that Meghan is suffering from the same illness. However, family secrets and clashing medical opinions begin to raise questions about the puzzling nature of Meghans illness. As the Gerards grow more and more suspicious of each other and their medical team, they must also race against the clock to decide whether to give Meghan a dangerous test that could prove once and for all what or who is responsible for her condition. Praise for Saving Meghan: "Smart, chilling, and full of hairpin turns, Saving Meghan is highwire suspense of the first order. DJ Palmer is as sure-handed as any of the great thriller writers tugging at our heart strings like Harlan Coben, and deftly pulling the rug out from under us like Lisa Gardner. A spine-tingling tale of the dark undercurrents of family dysfunction and the redemptive power of love. Dont miss this one! Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of Under My Skin DJ Palmer captivates readers with the fine line between a mother on a mission and a mother whos gone way too far. With a young girls life hanging in the balance, the stakes couldnt be higher in this pulse-pounding winner of a thriller.Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author

What a ride this one was! This is my first book by this author, and it did not disappoint! This one had me questioning every single character. This was pretty brilliant. I‘ll be checking out what else this author has.

Finished the tagged audiobook while I worked on painting this mat for in front of our kitchen sink. I added a few more layers, and the white pops a little more now. Super happy with how it came out! 🖤

The book was really good too! I‘d definitely recommend it for anyone who‘s intrigued by Munchausen syndrome by proxy, or unknown medical conditions. I devoured it! #TeamSlaughter #TeamTheme #scarathlon2021 #littenlisten #spookoweenreadathon

Saving Meghan was billed as a thriller in its marketing. I suppose it was to an extent but I didn‘t view it that way. It was a good book about a dysfunctional family. I will say that the ending was kind of a surprise although some would probably say it was obvious.

I thought it would be good to have a suspense/ thriller theme for the October Buddy Read. What do you think about these? @megnews

megnews They all sound like good picks. I‘m fine with any of them. Do you have a preference? 5y
sblbooks I'm planning on reading them all. Saving Megan will probably be my first choice I think. 5y

Lcsmcat Thanks, but I‘m overcommitted for October. But I‘ll watch for y‘all‘s posts. 5y
Hooked_on_books Sure. I‘ve read The Silent Patient already. I just bought The Night Olivia Fell, so that one gets my vote! Thanks for the invite! 5y

Super suspenseful and good on audio. A gripping back and forth—is Megan really sick with a mysterious disease or is she the victim of Munchausen‘s by proxy? The ending was a bit disappointing, but still worth the read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Book 11/30 for #bfcr2

This book would've been a pick for me, except for the ending.. is Meghan really sick or is her mother suffering from Munchausen by proxy? The book was well written and kept me guessing til the end, however, I hate an ending that has too much explanation due to it not being believable...

It‘s so nice out here today! This is my favorite place 💕 (besides being with the grandkiddos) it‘s also the reason I was whining to my daughter yesterday about gaining 15 pounds since I‘ve been obsessing over everything books for the last year!! I will go for a walk... I will go for a walk... just a couple more chapters... and one more beer...

GondorGirl Listen to audio books while you walk! 6y
Djspens @GondorGirl I don‘t want to buy audiobooks since I prefer books, and I haven‘t found anything that intriguing on Libby. Any recommendations?? 6y
GondorGirl @Djspens Hmm... I listen to a lot of nonfiction and true crime audiobooks. I also sometimes just put holds on whatever is really popular at the moment and then let myself be surprised when a hold comes in. 6y
Freespirit Hi @Djspens I like yourself have read a lot more now my children have left school. I love actual physical books but cant afford to sit for hours reading...much as I'd love it! I drink tea and eat cake!! When I can I walk with an audiobook. We have BorrowBox here in Australia where you can borrow audio books from your local library for free. It's a phone app..and they have a huge range of books. I'm sure you would have something similiar😊 6y

Meghan Gerard is sick. Even though the doctors can‘t figure out what she has, Meghan and her mom, Becky, are sure it‘s something serious. A new team of doctors aren‘t so sure: they think Becky has Münchausen syndrome by proxy. What follows is a sensational struggle for the truth. Once I started I couldn‘t put it down! Thank you, @StMartinsPress for the ARC! #SavingMeghan #ProtectMeghan #BelieveBecky

Big thanks to St. Martin‘s Press for this advanced copy of Saving Meghan. I really enjoyed this book. It was super suspenseful and maybe because I have been watch The Act on Hulu, it really got my attention right away. This is a book with a lot of twists about a girl who is sick but no one can find a diagnosis for her to fit. It leads doctors to begin to question if the sickness is being caused by someone which is only the start of the story.

A fascinating look at Münchausen syndrome by proxy, this cleverly written tale planted seeds of doubt that had me questioning my loyalty for each character as speculation, unreliability and motivation came in to play. Secrets and lies casted a cold cynicism forcing me into a quandary of whom to believe right to the end. My emotions were all over the place.

On sale 09-Apr-19, I strongly recommend you grab a copy. #stmartinspress #savingmeghan

I received an ARC of Saving Meghan in exchange for an honest review. I love how this book is written, bouncing from one person‘s viewpoint to another with a fluidity that presents a very clear, linear plot. The characters are well developed and realistic, and it‘s fun to hear each main character‘s voice within the pages. Highly recommend.

While my lovey is cooking dinner, I managed to finish this ARC.
I found the book a quick read and entertaining. I did find it to be a bit predictable. It did keep me reading because I had to know the how. I will say Becky drove me nuts primarily because I felt like she overreacted at very inconvenient times. I‘d give it 3.25-3.5/5🌟. #SavingMeghan #TeamMeghan
