Jupiter's mother Marie was a loved celebrity until she was brutally murdered. Someone was caught but her husband remained a suspect. Jupiter is now a journalist and is back in her home town and compelled to follow her mother's murder.
This one is an interesting thriller and was quite an engaging read.

I typically enjoy books by Anne Frasier, but this one didn't really draw me in. Jupiter has been avoiding her hometown and her father because when she was 16, she and her father found her mother's dismembered body in the backyard of her house. Her mother was a big movie star, so there were a lot of suspects. The book is short, and yet we have so many suspects and so many twists and turns that I honestly cannot remember who the bad guy ends up being. I think I remember, but there was another part at the end and I don't know how that relates. Obviously, for me, it was a forgettable book.

A great thriller - I would recommend it!

Good book with a decent story in it. It had a few slow parts that made the pace of the book slow down some but nothing awful.

I lost count of the number of times I have written in a review that the story had the potential to be awesome. I could not find any connection with the characters, which always made it impossible for me to continue. You do not understand how much I hate not finishing a book.

A rest will make her feel better.
All she needs is a little reset.
Until she tries to get that reset and instead finds a horrible crime in her hometown that she just can't seem to get clear of.
8/10 would read again.

I liked this one but the ending(s) through me for a bit of a loop. So many twists towards the end didn't really work for me. The characters and pacing of the plot were fine but I didn't LOVE it. I would like to try something else from this author!

Thank you to Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fast read with unproblematic characters but I felt myself wanting to skip over parts around the halfway mark. The premise of this book is promising and interesting but some parts felt underwhelming. I didn’t connect with the characters like I wanted to. Overall, I just felt something missing that would have connected me to the story more.

I will say that my least favorite thing about this book are the unbelievable character names. I think the unappealing and dramatic names (such as Jupiter) hindered me from being able to connect because I was so focused on how much I hated her name.

"Found Object" by Anne Frasier immerses readers in a mystery that unfolds layer by layer, revealing hidden connections and buried secrets. Frasier's skillful storytelling and intricate plotting create a narrative that keeps readers hooked as they follow the characters' journey to uncover the truth behind the enigmatic found object.

What an absolute INCREDIBLE read. This was such an amazing book. I adore the setting of the book, the unique nature of the characters and how they all connect. Very suspenseful & well written. I'll absolutely have & will continue to read every single book by AnneFraiser. No surprise to give another 5 star review

I’ve been a Frasier fan for 20 years when I first read Sleep Tight. She goes gothic with the Deep South lore and myths and just amazing. Found Object was just phenomenal. Loved Jupiter and her flawed life. Going back to do an interview for a company that her murdered movie star mother was the spokesperson for. From there we just go deep in actually delving into who killed her so many years ago. So many times you think you have it figured but nope. Fabulous read

I have been a fan of Anne Frasier for a long time and I just love her writing. If she writes a book I will be reading it. This book is for anyone who wants a thrilling and emotional read. You get mystery, thriller and crime fiction all rolled into one. This is a standalone book. The plot is fast-paced and full of twists and turns that keep the reader guessing until the final reveal. I would definitely recommend this book along with the rest of her books.


Thank you NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for allowing me to read this ARC fr my honest opinion.

There is something about summer that makes me want to read ALL the books.

Late last night after my third fight with the pillow and snoring husband I gave up and started scrolling . I was too tired to research but too awake to sleep so I was just going to pick a book based on a cover ….

Found Object
By: Anne Frasier

This was an easy read that I flew through in just a couple of hours . This book is under 300 pages and gets straight to the point. No repetitiveness or corny dialog. The twist was just enough to give you a gasp and the characters were the perfect blend of likable and unlikable.

This book is out now and I highly recommend you pick yourself up a copy!

Teaser :

A journalist begins to question everything she knows about her mother’s murder in a startling novel of suspense by the New York Times bestselling author of The Body Reader.

Culpable in an exposé gone tragically wrong, investigative journalist Jupiter Bellarose takes her boss’s advice: head back to her hometown for a fluff piece and get her world in balance. But in Savannah, the past is waiting.

Twenty years ago Jupiter’s mother, actress and celebrated beauty Marie Nova, was murdered, leaving many in her wake: Jupiter’s father, who has erased memories of his wife’s murder with alcohol. The matriarch of the cosmetics company who helped make Marie a star—and who takes every opportunity to reopen old wounds. Then there’s the fragile cop with blood on his hands, and the killer whose confession no longer seems convincing.

With so many lingering questions, Jupiter must revisit the grisly event that has influenced every decision in her life. Maybe her homecoming will bring closure.

Or maybe the worst is yet to come.

Jupiter returns to Savannah to examine the murder of her superstar mother years ago, and the subsequent destruction of her family and her life. She meets the cop who rescued her the night of the murder and together these two damaged people form a bond to find the truth of what happened that night. Read for the story, stay for the ending.

I've read quite a few of Anne Frasier's books and generally I'm quite a fan. This one didn't grab my attention as much as they usually do. It had a lot of twists towards the end and it was a good enough read, but it didn't grab me as much as her books normally do.

3.5 stars

A really great read that I would recommend to everyone! Fast moving, full of twists, and kept me guessing until the very end. Exactly the way a book should be.

I have enjoyed many of Anne Frasier's books, but this one was a disappointment. The mystery seemed thin and the characters didn't interest me. I finished it and the ending was better than expected.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing this ARC.

The storyline mainly focusing on Jupiter's mother's murder and her trauma from that and her career of going undercover and falling for a deviant who committed suicide once her story she had on him broke from her boss (which was also her ex husband..)

Found Object commences with Jupiter Bellarose, an investigative journalist being released from a mental health institution. Her editor and former lover sends her on a story in her home town to help her take things a bit easier and have some support, and chaos ensues. As she tries to unravel the mystery of her mother’s murder under the guise of writing a story on the beauty company where her mother previously worked. The idea started out well but for it didn’t do it for me, with the beauty giants antics and secrets being unbelievable and the late introduction of random characters. Filled with possibility not realized. I did love the character Poppy, and had some real laugh out loud moments with her dialogue.

I was really excited for this novel because I have heard great things about Anne Fraser. However, the novel moved slower that I would have anticipated for a thriller. Still, the story was very well-written, and I loved the ending! I recommend this for fans of Paula Hawkins!
