When a man agrees to do a favor for a friend, he gets more than he bargained for as he becomes embroiled in a woman�s murder in this new thriller from the USA Today bestselling author of Layover. Ryan Francis has it all�great job, wonderful wife, beautiful child�and he loves posting photos of his perfect life on social media. Until the night his friend Blake asks him to break into a woman�s home to retrieve incriminating items that implicate Blake in an affair. Ryan refuses to help, but when Blake threatens to reveal Ryan�s darkest secret�which could jeopardize everything in Ryan�s life�Ryan has no choice but to honor Blake�s request. When he arrives at the woman's home, Ryan is shocked to find her dead�and just as shocked to realize he knows her. Then his phone chimes, revealing a Facebook friend request from the woman. With police sirens rapidly approaching, Ryan flees, wondering why his friend was setting him up for murder. Determined to keep his life intact and to clear his name, Ryan must find the real murderer�but solving the crime may lead him closer to home than he ever could have imagined.

Grabbed this for $1 at my library. Sounded pretty good, so I figured I‘d snag it. Never read anything by him, so I‘m looking forward to reading this.

I have loved every David Bell book I‘ve ever read but this one is my least favorite. It‘s probably because all of the characters (except for the baby) are so unlikeable. I wish I had a dollar for every time I thought, “why would you do something so stupid?” There was also a LOT of running around in this book - the main character seemed to spend an crazy amount of time running around town looking for folks because they didn‘t pick up the phone.

I didn't read as many books as I would have liked in July due to changes on the home front. ⁣Friends have been gathering on my patio over wine, snacks, & hand sanitizer. 😷 Like me, my son is now working at home.

I read 6 enjoyable books. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 by 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐥 was the standout.

No. Just no. I was going to give this a book a "so, so" but the more I think about it, the more I realize how much I dislike it. There are too many superfluous scenes that do nothing for the plot. One prime example is where Blake and Amanda go into great detail with Amanda's parents about what is going on with the murder that has taken place. Also, the murder plot is easy to figure out. Just disappointing all around. ?

MyNamesParadise Oh, I almost bought this one. Glad I didn‘t now! I could always get it from the library though. 4y
Jemgirl2014 @MyNamesParadise I'd receommend it as a library read. Don't waste your money lol Thanks for the follow by the way. 😀 4y
MyNamesParadise @Jemgirl2014 no prob! And I use to read his books when I was younger but then I stopped. I haven‘t read more of his recent ones. 4y

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 by 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐥 is a compelling, fast-paced thriller featuring ordinary people navigating extraordinary circumstances; an exploration of friendship exploited & manipulated; a look at the role of social media in the life of a man wracked with guilt; & a wry commentary about its power & influence. One of 2020's best thrillers. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⁣⁣

Bleh. Chloe‘s face says it all. We tried really hard to get into this book but the characters were just so selfish and annoying. The dialog was hideous. They kept repeating themselves over and over again—I guess in an effort to draw out the suspense? Instead we just kept screaming at them to “GET TO THE &$!%ing POINT ALREADY!” Almost every character was the suspected killer at some point so it just dragged on and on and on...

Wow! 🤩 I had high hopes for this one and he hit every one of them! Unputdownable! Full of suspense and twists! I think this is the 3rd book of his that I‘ve read, but I‘d say it‘s definitely his best one.

I bought this one because I didn‘t want to wait for it from the library, so I‘m picking it up next instead of one from my library stack! 😙

DO NOT MISS THIS BOOK!!!

FULL REVIEW WILL BE ON JUNE 30.

Everyone wants something from Ryan.

One wants money, one wants his time, and the worst request is from his friend, Blake.

THE REQUEST is a thriller fan's smorgasbord.

Mr. Bell included everything you need to keep you on the edge of your seat, keep you up reading, and keep you guessing incorrectly.
