Great novel that kept me guessing right to the end as to who I should or shouldn’t trust. Fast paced intriguing storyline. Thanks for the opportunity to read
I grew up in a small town (alhough not THAT small, I think we had 400 people), so of course I was curious to see how murder in a small town would be handled. Especially one that seems mostly untouched by modern technology - no TV, no phones. It wasn't quite as thrilling as I had hoped, although I enjoyed the mystery aspect. I guess growing up in a small town I didn't find the ways the townspeople acted towards outsiders for the most part that odd or creepy, which seemed to be the main creep factor. Overall a nice read.
This is a thriller, but it really did not have the dark and demented vibe I was hoping for. It was easy to read, but I did lose interest a few times and had to push through.
I haven't read anything by Ms Lynch before, so I was pleasantly entertained and surprised by this book. This was a well written thriller, and really entertaining. Recommended.
Not much to really say with this one. I liked the multiple POV used in this book I think it really helps to see what is happening from all sides. That being said I just felt like this was a bit scattered and confusing until the very end. I love unpredictability but not to the point of utter confusion until you get there. For me it was so so
It was an eerie setting, in the town of Hamlet. One of the things I loved about this book is that when I thought I figured out the book it would throw me for a loop, just keeping me on my toes! Jessica Lynch did amazing bringing such detail and mystery to each character from the start. You are at the edge of your seat from the death at the hotel! great book!
Very interesting and well-written! Great characters, good pacing. Hamlet was interesting to read about. 4 stars.
OMG this book was so good. I chose it based on the title, cover and the description and it did not disappoint at all. This book drew me in from the beginning, I knew that something was up, I think I really liked it because it was set in a small town like mine. I did actually like Tess from the start, but as the plot progressed I liked her even more and thought something was up. I didn't care for the sheriff at all but in the end she knew what was up. I liked the twist that got thrown in there at the end for sure, it made the book. I did feel sorry for the deputy I mean he didn't deserve that but he was kind of creepy not going to lie. I read this book in exchange for and honest review and now you need to read this book!
I received a digital ARC of #Don’tTrustMe from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Wow what a book! I have only given it 4 stars, instead of 5 purely because initially I wasn't hooked to the point of not wanting to put the book down. It didn't take me long to get into the story though. I thought I knew who the murderer was twice in this book (two different people and motives) ... both were wrong! When it is revealed in the final 2 chapters I was gobsmacked! Never would I have imagined that person was responsible, especially considering the events of the book. I love a good psych thriller like this, where everything is turned on its head so many times during the book. So many twists and turns, and then the big whopper at the end. I was left feeling sorry for one Hamlet resident - you'll know who if you read the book. I hate book reviews that give massive spoilers so I won't tell you who it is here! No spoilers from me ;)
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants a good psych thriller with lots of twists and turns, and a great big shocking surprise at the end. Loved it!
Gut ausgearbeitete Geschichte, die den Leser in Atem hält bis zum Schluss - der nicht so ist, wie man gedacht hat...
This book was wonderful and the ending is unexpected. I loved the mysterious town of Hamlet and the characters are so believable. I will definitely be reading Ophelia as well. Thank you to Netgalley for the readers copy of this book in turn for an honest review. #netgalley #donttrustme
to be honest I did not read ALL of it.
It was sow for me.. BUT I will not hesitate to give this a 5 star because of its WTF twisted ending..
Overall this left me feeling a bit disappointed and underwhelmed. I expected more from this story. The writing was well done, but the characters were weak and I couldn't connect to them. A bit more character building would have made this a much better read.
An atmospheric crime thriller which sees Tessa and her husband, trying to fix their marital problems, take a trip and promptly breakdown near a small town called Hamlet.
The characters are interesting and it would be a great idea to see them fleshed out some more in another novel, while the plot itself is mysterious and tense.
Full of twists and turns, fast paced and quite dark, this story keeps you involved to the unexpected end.
Great addictive read. Kept me gripped throughout.
After a couple stop in a small village tragedy hits and he is murdered.
The book lends itself to being part of a series
10 stars- This book had me chewing my nails and keeping me at the edge of my seat. The description of this small eerie town added such suspense to the story. When you read this you start questioning who is really the good person in this story and just how sure are you? Great read. Thank you for allowing me to write about it.
OMG. Literally this book was OMG worthy. First off, I love it when a novel doesn't take too long to get to the meat of the story. No one wants to read half of the book and not be in suspense yet. This book captured my attention from the very beginning... especially when it starts off with a fighting couple who is driving in a rainstorm and happens to end up in a motel in a remote small town. The classic beginning to a cringe worthy story. The characters were dynamic as well. You were really able to understand and get inside their minds. Jessica Lynch did an amazing job at bringing their true emotions to light in this book. I could picture the town of Hamlet quite easily in my mind which made this book come to life. And let me tell you.. this ending was not one I would have EVER saw coming. I still cannot believe it. Trust me when I say you will not be able to put this book down, you might even have to read it a couple of times to make yourself believe that the ending actually happened. Go right now and read Don't Trust Me, you won't regret it.
Thank you to netgalley and the author/publisher for a copy of DON'T TRUST ME in exchange for an honest review.
An innocent girl caught up in an unfortunate circumstance all alone. This is how Tess feels when she is stranded in Hamlet, a small town where everyone knows everyone. Her and her husband find themselves unexpectedly in the B&B and soon Hamlet's quiet little town turns dark and dangerous. Of course, accusations are pointed at Tess, the outsider, but nothing is quite as it seems.
What initially seemed like a simple, straightforward mystery suddenly turned threateningly twisty. I thought I had the end in the bag from the first few pages, and it turns out I was way off. I literally had to go back and re-read some of the pages because I was so caught off guard by the revelation. I dare you to read through this one and try to figure out the end. I'll bet you can't. What an unexpected turn of events. Pleasantly pleased with this one!
OMG! What a book. I loved it.
From the very first page, the plot of the story had my attention. The author did such an amazing job in describing Hamlet, I felt as if I had been transported there.
The story was face paced and unpredictable, just what you want in a murder mystery/ thriller. And what an ending!!!!
Would definitely recommend this book.
Thankyou to Netgalley, the publisher and Jessica Lynch for the opportunity to read this awesome book.
This was a great book. I would to read more from the author. This book was well written and smart. I look forward to the next books in the series.
