Girl in the Rearview Mirror
Girl in the Rearview Mirror: A Novel | Kelsey Rae Dimberg
10 posts | 8 read | 12 to read
The young nanny for a prominent political family gets drawn into a web of deadly liesincluding her ownin this stunning debut thriller with the menacing twists of Megan Abbott and the exquisite suspense of Laura Lippman. They are Phoenixs First Family: handsome Philip Martin, son of the sitting Senator, an ex-football player who carries himself with an easy grace and appears destined to step into his fathers seat when the time is right; his wife Marina, the stylish and elegant director of Phoenixs fine arts museum; and their four-year-old daughter Amabel, beautiful and precocious and beloved. Finn Hunt is working a dull office job to pay off her college debt when she meets Philip and charms Amabel. She eagerly agrees to nanny, thinking shes lucked into the job of a lifetime. Though the glamour of the Martins lifestyle undeniably dazzles Finn, her real pleasure comes from being part of the family: sharing quick jokes with Philip in the kitchen before he leaves for work; staying late when Marina needs a last-minute sitter; and spending long days with Amabel, who is often treated more like a photo op than a child. But behind every faade lurks a less attractive truth. When a young woman approaches Finn, claiming a connection with Philip and asking Finn to pass on a message, Finn becomes caught up in a web of deceit with the senate seat at its center. And Finn isnt exactly innocent herself: she too has a background she has kept hidden, and under the hot Phoenix sun, everything is about to be laid bare. . . .

Today‘s Prompt: COVER WITH OBSCURED FACE

THRILLER - SUSPENSE

The title intrigued me from the start. 

Does it mean not looking back?

Does it mean looking the other way? 

Does it mean keeping your secrets and your past hidden?

Just so-so, unfortunately as the characters were mostly forgettable . But the author has a great way with descriptions of places. Very vivid

I had to bail. It wasn‘t developed and at times, it was dragging.

A decent storyline but I don‘t think the main character was captured quite well enough. I wasn‘t following her story or motivations for awhile there.. it kept me reading though to see what happened. Book 6/12 #bfcr2 #bookfitnesschallenge

We meet Finn whose real name is Natalie, but she doesn't tell anyone because she wants to hide her past.

Everyone seemed to have secrets, told lies, were manipulative, and users. Some of the characters were also odd but most were selfish.

This book is for you if you enjoy family drama, seeing how the upper crust lives, and what lengths people go to in order to keep something hidden. 4/5

Just finished this debut.

Has anyone else read it?

FULL REVIEW: JUNE 17

Everyone seemed to have secrets, told lies, were manipulative, and users. Some of the characters were also odd but most were selfish.

The story line dragged at first but increased in intensity and twists and kept me rapidly turning the pages to find out what really was going on, what really was happening, who could be trusted, and who was lying. 4/5

I wanted to like this book, but.....sadly, I could not. It felt forced and fake and the characters were lacking. Definitely has room for improvement. That said, please don't let my opinion deter you from reading this. It may be just what you are looking for and will love it.
