There is tension and suspense as I turned the pages of this phenomenal psychological thriller. This well written novel is very fast past paced.
This was entirely brilliant. Atmospheric, genuinely absorbing, incredibly insightful story, And the story is SO addictive, I just fell into it and didn’t come out much, the dramatic senses were tingling throughout the whole of the reading experience.
A thrilling, captivating, character-driven novel that will leave you wanting more.
I was enthralled from the very beginning and never wanted to put the book down. I highly recommend you pick this one up when it becomes available. You will not regret it!
It’s a story that kept me turning pages, anxious to find out what happened and what would happen. And the ending. Wow. I was left thinking about it for days after I’d finished the book.
Dean is just one of those authors who you you know you will pretty much read anything he puts out! I would read his shopping list.... Ok!
The Last Thing To Burn was phenomenal....
But TLTTB doesn't hold a candle to First Born!

Atria/Emily Bestler Books,
Thank You for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!
I will post my review closer to pub date.

Will Dean knows how to write a page turner! A recommended first purchase for collections where thrillers are popular.

Well I've never been happier to be the oldest, only girl.

This book was a ride! The authors last book, The Last Thing To Burn, was heartbreaking and horrifying while also being hopeful. This book is not like the first book. This one is definitely more in Alice Feeney territory; well constructed and well told. A mystery that you probably won't see coming.

What a joy to read this totally addictive book.I was hooked right from the first page.The characters and the ever changing story line holds you right till the end.Will Dean has outdone himself and I am sure this will be one of 2022 best books.

Oh mon amie! My little grey cells hurt like hell! I wish they would work as like Hercule Poirot’s!

I can honestly say: this book started like three to four starred regular mystery reading and it slowly grew on me at first.

It was mostly four starred read because Molly Raven was interesting kind of unconventional, unique, absolutely batshit crazy monozygotic twin whose other half- poor outgoing, extrovert, adventurous sister Katie a.k.a KT was found murdered in her Manhattan apartment.

Molly who lives ultra secluded life in London, extra precautious, paranoid, thinking about million threatening things that can kill her at each second, talks with her poor parents and forced herself to get on a plane to fly to NYC for confronting her sister’s death, starting her own investigation to find out the killer.

There are so many suspects who might hurt Katie including weird neighbor downstairs, stalker and also YouTuber who cannot directly make eye contact, a swimmer boyfriend who may seem not so affected by Katie’s death, an obsessed close friend Violet, a married professor who she’s been having affair for a long time. Even their father acts extra weird as if he’s still on a trip instead of grieving for his daughter.

First half of the book was interesting but when we learn about the scholarship circumstances of Katie and secret email address contain surprising secrets about her life, things start getting heated.

And the last twist blew my mind! I just mumbled: what the actual heck! ( of course I cursed even though Molly’s character would be irritated with me) It was truly shocking and I could never see it coming! Well played! The author fooled me so bad!

Because of unexpected smart move which made my jaw drop, I add extra star and gave five intelligent, twisty, burning little grey cells stars!

It was freaking good! I absolutely recommend it!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Atria/ Emily Bestler Books for sharing this amazing digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions.

Now that Succession is over for the season, delve into the perfect family drama mystery. Deliciously sinister and achingly fun, you will love delving into this story of two twin sisters.
