pick4.5⭐
⬗ I had sworn off Megan Miranda after a string of disappointing books. So, I guess the FOMO was bad because I decided to give this one a try, and hey, I actually liked it. I think it‘s even her best yet. It has loads of tension, family secrets, and an ending that took me by surprise.
⬗ The narration by Inés del Castillo was performed quite well.
pickI started this on audio, which wasn‘t working for me. Switched to print and blew through it. A gothic tinged mystery. Ruby McTavish‘s adopted son left home soon after her death in 2013 and hasn‘t returned, wanting nothing to do with his adoptive wealthy family. What happened? Does it have anything to do with the fact that Ruby was kidnapped as a baby? Why is Camden‘s wife so keen for him to return to the family home? Quick, fun popcorn read. 🍿

This is what I have on tap this weekend. Hope to finish the Kushner, I‘m over halfway through. Escape Velocity is for #LitsySciFiBookclub . I might bail on The Heiress. So much heavy foreshadowing, which irks me. Sadly none are my #10beforethernd picks. 🙃
so-soI love that a woman is doing much of the investigating. The story didn‘t grip me as much as the first two in the series did, but it did ramp up a bit toward the end. Still enjoying it enough to continue the series.
pickUsed this book for my library‘s book challenge—prompt is a Southern Gothic. I loved this book & wouldn‘t have put it down except I had to do life responsibilities. Story revolves around Ruby & the McTavish family. So many secrets, it was fun to uncover them all. Gave it 5⭐️ on GR
pickPick, but a soft pick. I‘ve read all(?) of Miranda‘s adult reader books and sometimes they‘re brilliant and sometimes they feel half baked. This is the latter. The framing of “[x] days without rain” was pointless which is a shame because she can do atmosphere so well. (Ex: The Last to Vanish.) I did really like the evolution of the Hazel/Jamie friendship, I think that saved this book for me.
