I really enjoyed the experience of this book. A little bit of gore, intrigue, a few unsuspecting twists and a delightful ending. It kept me in suspense on how it would all turn out. It’s well written, flowed well and the multiple story lines complemented each other. I quickly got invested in the characters even the ones I loved to hate. There were a few details that seemed implausible- why didn’t they catch that or test that?- but it didn’t take away from the story. I loved the ending and how it worked itself out. It was a fun, easy read. Thank you to Kat Rosenfield and Custom House Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complementary copy of this book. The are my opinions only.

I really liked this book. The story was great and I loved the twist in it.

Creative and twisty. 3.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 rounded up.

It’s October in rural Copper Falls, Maine. Big city detective Ian Bird is investigating the murder of Lizzie Oullette, self-proclaimed ”junkyard trash” who is disliked by much of the town. Her husband, Dwayne, is the lead suspect… and he’s nowhere to be found. Bird’s investigation leads him to Adrienne Richards, a beautiful social media influencer, and her disgraced billionaire husband, Ethan, who had been renting Lizzie’s small lake house in the Podunk town. The story is narrated by Lizzie (from beyond the grave) and alternates between The Lake and The City, where it focuses on Ian Bird and Adrienne Richards, respectively.

The book begins with the discovery of Lizzie, and the details are pretty gross which was a bit of a turnoff right off the bat. However the story beyond that pulled me in and held my interest. Part one ends with a twist I did not see coming, which was a nice surprise because sometimes you can see them from a mile away. However, there are a few items within the investigation that would have/should have come to light in a real investigation, that were kind of forgotten about in the story.

Overall I enjoyed the twist and the story!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

I received an advance copy of, No One Will Miss Her, by Kat Rosenfield. I did not like this book, the characters, the language, just not my cup of tea.

An eerie unpredictable thriller. I absolutely loved this book. The plot is extremely fast paced and the characters are believable. I highly recommend this book.
