Welcome to Litsy!

Book 31 of 2024! Another good thriller from Shari Lapena! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good but not great, not as twisty as I expect from her & lots of time spent not on the main mystery.

It‘s a fun suburban romp through the secret lives of an east coast neighborhood. Suspicion, breaking and entering, paranoia, sex, burner phones, a techy teen, and coffee…these broads drink a shit ton of coffee in this book! They are caffeinated and activated! Read this book in a day, it‘s fast and a solid who-done-it thriller. Bon appetit!

It‘s a loooong way to Nairobi. I‘ll be there at 6.30 tomorrow morning. Traveling buddies in the pic!

I usually enjoy Shari Lapena novels but this one just didn‘t hit the mark for me.

Wonderful thriller that kept me guessing who was behind the murder - so many twists and possible suspects!

Took me a while to go through this one because I felt it was a slow start and life was busy. But once I got to the half way point it started to pick up. Lots of suspects so I felt it was a lot of twists. Looking forward to reading more by this author!

Suburban mystery/suspense, decent but didn‘t reeeally stand out to me. It had a loooot of characters and I feel like I just finished it and already forgotten all abt it. Not bad, just meh-ish

A fast paced thriller mixed with suburban drama. This was an easy read and full of twists and turns but ultimately hated the ending. While I would recommend for anyone who likes thrillers and for the most part had fun reading, it ended up being a bit of a let down and a weird epilogue. Hence middle of the road for me. #bookspin for January

Entertaining afternoon‘s read. Didn‘t guess any of the shenanigans!

Got these books from @Savugirl yesterday! Can‘t wait to read them. The paws apparently just had to appear in the picture.

Easy and to the point, no excessive details 🤓

This book is the definition of a page-tuner. The writing isn‘t as poetic as I typically like, however the plot really keeps you on your toes, which made this book an entertaining, quick read for me.

" ‘This is a very difficult letter to write. I hope you will not hate us too much. . . My son broke into your home recently while you were out.‘ “

“In a quiet, leafy suburb in upstate New York, a teenager has been sneaking into houses--and into the owners' computers as well--learning their secrets, and maybe sharing some of them, too.”

I put a post out yesterday (June 5) asking whether reading prologues & epilogues is optional. Littens have spoken: prologues & epilogues MUST be read at all times. Court is adjourned.👩🏾‍⚖️

This is the second book I have read by Shari Lapena and I really like her style. It was a good neighborhood thriller. I was able to piece together who the killer was and I was quite proud of myself, but I didn't guess all of the little specifics. The book provided a great pool of suspects.

What a twisty roller coaster of a book... makes you think twice about trusting your neighbors... you never know what goes on behind closed doors!

Overall the story was an interesting one...misdirecting the reader like what...and the outcome of the mystery was satisfying, well, satisfying enough anyway. But the very end...the last 5 minutes of the book...what was that? I didn‘t get it. I don‘t know, maybe I missed something...did I miss something…???

This book makes a compelling argument to NOT make friends with your neighbors. I really enjoyed all the twists and turns of this book, the only flaw is that Amanda never emerges as a real person. Her motives, her desires, all are seen through the lens of others. I would have liked a little more about her. Still, a great thriller worth your time! Book 10 of 2021

Enjoying my Sunday and listening to the tagged book for #AnyWayYoyReadathon @Eggbeater @kimmypete1

Just finished this book.It was a great read. I felt so many emotions reading this. Especially Kyle's moms
I wasn't expecting that twist at the end tbh😂 I loved it.

This was a quick read and a fun murder mystery.

One teenager is breaking and entering into houses, another is excessively drinking. We slowly discover that both of these boys fathers were having an affair with a woman who turns up dead.

Her husband becomes the easiest suspect but what if it‘s not that easy?

Honestly I could have dealt without the epilogue, and this was another book where I unfortunately predicted the ending halfway through.

This was another excellent read, I do enjoy the books written by this author. This worked really well in the audiobook format and was well read. Interestingly plot line and liked the way three were all joined up. Certainly recommended.

Book 129

I listened to this enjoyable murder mystery. All along I thought it was so obvious, but I was wrong.

It‘s 3 stars for Shari Lapena‘s “Someone We Know”, a story full of secrets, gossip and infidelity. I enjoyed it, but it was an okay read for me and probably not one I‘ll remember long term.

My full review is up on my blog now 📚

I‘m on my 3rd book in a month by this author and I can‘t get enough! I can‘t believe I waited this long to read her. This one is fast paced and anyone could have done it. So good.

Oh, how I love a good “Desperate Housewives” style suburban murder mystery. This book had it all. Some characters that you sympathize with, or could imagine yourself being friends with. Others that annoy you and even some that give you the creeps. Everyone‘s hiding something. Everyone‘s protecting someone. Everyone‘s a suspect.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

PICK ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a really quick, easy read. There‘s murder, backstabbing, and too many affairs to follow. I loved every page!

Camp. Books. Dogs. Life is good. 🖤🤍

I took a long break from everything. But now I‘m back and even trying an ebook... which I usually hate. 💁🏻‍♀️

This was like a soap opera on audio. There is murder, gossip, pointing fingers, and more.

Trying to get back into my reading groove since my move is finally over!!

Almost finished and still wondering how it‘s going to end! Definitely a PICK!

Another solid tale of suspense by Shari Lapena. Not as captivating as The Couple Next Door, but a great tale nonetheless. When a women goes missing, then is subsequently found dead. Everyone is her neighborhood is concerned, gossipy, and guilty? The killer is clearly “Someone We Know,” but which one?

This was a fun listen, although I will admit that the constant drama and the jumping bedmates got somewhat tiresome. I had no idea where the story would end up leading and did change my mind a few different times when it came to trying to figure out who the murderer was. I‘ll definitely be reading (or listening) to more by this author! 🌟🌟🌟

Betrayal, neighbors, panic, and murder. To me, it was like a well-worn soap opera and I figured out part of the ending early on. The only way I could get through it was to listen to the audio at double speed. I will say it‘s quite amusing to listen to melodramatic people at 2x the normal speed.

I recommend! I flied through this one.

This is my kind of book! I‘m flying through it and enjoying every page. I hope the ending doesn‘t disappoint!

My next read. I‘ve enjoyed her previous books.

I really enjoyed this book it held me captive the whole afternoon. Ms. Lapena did an excellent job with the twisty plots and directions.

This was an interesting story, wow this author knows how to ensure her readers have no idea who the real killer is. Also I loved the ending in the epilogue that has made it seem as if this story will continue.

My Apartment Nunber is 306 so I have 306 bucks to spend monthly... Score. Now how to make this real? Hmmm get a second job?

#TeamSlaughter @Clwojick

I am up to page 78 in this book (that is chapter 11) I am loving the dual mysteries within one book that is enjoyable, I am also enjoying that this book takes place across the pond ( in the US) where as Turn of the Key takes place in Scotland and how different these two authors sculpt their mystery! Its been enjoyable.
