Today‘s Prompt: WILD GOOSE CHASE

The police had to investigate, and this gets everyone in Tess's life involved in the investigation even though it might be a “WILD GOOSE CHASE.”

The tension is subtle, but evident.

I did not love this book. I listened to the audiobook, maybe it was the narration, I found the main character to be annoying and whiney. The end of the book was also a big dissapointment. Just meh.

When an author uses a kid correctly in a thriller or horror novel it can create a truly terrifying reading experience.

This story follows a recently separated woman and her daughter through a harrowing experience when the daughter draws a picture of a woman being killed. Lots of red herrings, great slow build to a well developed and delivered ending.

I will definitely read more by this author.

I have this audiobook with an #Orange cover checked out from the library and I'm excited to get to it.

Single mother Tess, one day finds a drawing that her young daughter has made. Unlike her kids bright colored drawings, this one is in black of a woman falling. Tess just know that something isn‘t right, but no one believes. So she looks into it herself.

This book scares me and if it was a movie I wouldn‘t dare watch it.

I‘m new to Nicci French. In this slow building story, Newly separated Tess is trying to build a stable life for herself and her three year old daughter Poppy. Things are going well, till Poppy draws a disturbing drawing and starts acting out. Uncertain what has happened to her sweet daughter, Tess starts pulling information together that leads her to believe Poppy may be witness to a murder. Slow to build, all the twists come at the end.

🎧 Recently divorced mom of 3 yo Poppy goes on an amateur sleuthing expedition after her daughter draws a disturbing picture of a woman falling from a tower. Two people are dead. Was there foul play? Is her philandering X or his new pregnant wife involved?

The mom does so many things frustratingly wrong but it was a gripping mystery that I kept returning to.

Interesting psychological mystery & fast paced thriller.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nicci French fans will be “thrilled.”

Soooooo.... I enjoyed a good chunk of this book but I skimmed the last half of the book. There are several issues I have and one of them is a detective giving information of an investigation out to some random person. Another is I get what these authors were trying for but it wasn‘t very believable. It could have been a 300 pg book max but went over 450. I hate being harsh, I will read other books by them eventually. 😕

Lazy day with the rain and cold. 😟But that means I get some reading time! My first Nicci French and I must say, I‘m liking this duo. I may need to actually read some of the books by them that I own! 🤷‍♀️🤣

On to the next step to remission. 30 minute Avastin infusion every 3 weeks. I‘ll take it over the 8 hour days I had! I also get to read an ARC! 😀
