Started this one and couldn't put it down. It is both a mystery and a story of relationships, husband and wife, parents and children, neighbors. How well do we know the people we love. Very well down and think my older students will like it and relate to the teenagers in it as well 4.5

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read the Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of Hannah Morrissey's When I'm Dead.
I enjoyed the book though it was a little slow at the beginning of the novel. Once I got further along, it picked up for me and I started enjoying it more. I did feel as though some parts dragged on throughout the book. I really enjoyed a lot of the descriptions shared throughout the novel. It gave forth very vivid imagery. I would definitely classify the book as a psychological thriller.
I rated the novel as having 4 out of 5 stars due to the slow start. I would recommend this book to others and just let them know to persevere with it and it will be enjoyed.

•Hannah Morrissey’s latest, When I’m Dead, kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time!

•Welcome back to Black Harbor. A teenage girl is murdered and Detective Axel Winthrop and Medical Examiner Rowan Winthrop are determined to figure out who’s behind it. The fact that the victim is their teenage daughter’s best friend, just adds more motivation to solve this case quickly.

•While investigating, their daughter, Chloe, actually goes missing as well. Axel and Rowan race against time to try to figure out what happened to these girls— and if they can save Chloe.

•Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this ARC. Make sure you grab a copy when it’s released on October 31, 2023.

I had the privilege of reading this book way in advance. The suspense was perfect and the ending caught me by surprise. I went back and re-read it JUST for the hidden easter eggs I didn’t catch before. I could not recommend this book enough. Definitely Pre-Order while you can! Comes out this year on Halloween!
Thank you Hannah Morrissey & Net Galley for the opportunity to enjoy your work.

Favorite quote: “I never trust a guy with two first names.”

This book was fantastic!
So suspenseful, dark, emotional, twisty, and you just can’t put it down!
It was my first book from Hannah Morrissey and I loved her writing style, I am sure I will be reading more from her.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Coming out on 10/31/23

This book was great - once I started it was hard to put down. The author did a great job of giving zero clues as to who the killer was and that left me turning page after page to get the answers I was dying for. Add in extra layers like the neighborhood outcast being super into taxidermy and the mother of the missing girl having a secret past of her own and this story kept me hooked start to finish.

Be sure to pre-order this one, available everywhere 10/31/23!!

I have read all three Black Harbor series books by this author and loved each one more than the last. There is just something about her writing and this town. It is bleak and insidious, The town, not the writing. Black Harbor is a place that's best described as - if you're passing through, just keep on going. There seems to be little good and plenty of the dark side of life and Ms. Morrissey perfectly captures the atmosphere with her writing. I can hardly wait for the next book. There is going to be a next one, right?

Loving the black harbor series. I read it in a day it was so hard to put down.
The ending and what unfolds at the end was shocking.

This book did not disappoint!!!! Reminds me of an episode of Criminal Minds. Had me guessing until the very end! Definitely 5 stars

Another great thriller by Hannah Morrissey!!! The bodies are piling up and so are the suspects! Morrissey leads you to believe only one person could possibly be the killer...but she keeps throwing more suspects into the mix.

Axel is a homicide detective and Rowan is a medical examiner, and the book begins with them investigating the murder of their teenage daughters best friend. Only, their teenage daughter, Chloe, goes missing that same night.

This was a very fun read, and I flew through it. I loved the multiple POV’s & I kept thinking I knew how it would end, but I didn’t! It honestly felt like I was reading an episode of criminal minds. I’ll most likely read the previous two books but definitely ones in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

i also wanted to note that i noticed a couple misspellings and possibly lines at the end of the chapter that weren’t meant to be there?

Thank you to NetGalley for a digital ARC of When I'm Dead. I was really excited to get a copy of this because I saw the excitement floating around InstaGram. It was promising in the beginning, but I found it boring and DNF at 40%. The writing was good, it's just that nothing happened. I did go to the end to see what happened, and was shocked at who did it and why. That being said, I wondered if there were Easter Eggs thrown in throughout because at 40% I don't even remember that character being introduced, and if not was the villian the villain for shock value? I'm not sure. There were also things I thought weren't plausible. Like allowing the detective to work the case. And I didn't feel the parents were even sad their daughter was missing. Missed the mark for me, unfortunately.

This is a well written police procedural, much better than most. A married couple in law enforcement's daughter is missing. They discover this after the body of one of her friends is found. Is she alive, is she implicated in the murders. This puts an additional strain on their relationship as they search for the daughter and for answers. I enjoyed the depth of this story and while the reveal was disturbing, it didn't feel melodramatic just for effect.

If you have red other Hannah Morrissey novels you will not be disappointed with the third book in this series.

A great addition to the Black Harbor series. I love the fact that this series are not dependent upon one another to read and understand as each of the novels are their own story of characters that become minor supporting characters in the other books. This story was good full to twists and turns and false pathways - overall a nice solid read

I thoroughly enjoyed the latest book by @hannahmorrisseywriter!!! It was a great mix of thrill, mystery, and family drama!!

Morrissey perfectly weaved a story that had me guessing until the very end! I am dying for more of the Black Harbor novels!!!! Please please please write more!!!!!

This novel comes out Halloween 2023 and is an absolute must read!!! Thank you Netgalley for this ARC! #goodreads #thriller #thrillerbooks #whenimdead #blackharbornovels #bestbookever #summerreads @minotaur_books

Deliciously bonechilling crime thriller. If you're in the market for thriller/suspense this is the perfect read to keep you on the edge of your seat and get your pulse racing.

I'm not a frequent reader of this genre at all but whenever I need a nailbiter or a Criminal Minds-esque fix this book it going to be my go to.

Huge thanks to NetGalley and Hannah Morrissey for the opportunity to read When I'm Dead.

When I'm Dead follows a married couple, who happen to be a detective and a medical examiner, as they search for their missing daughter while also dealing with two other murdered girls in their town. This thriller gripped me from the beginning and never really let go. The author kept you in the dark for a good 75% of the book, but it wasn't a bad thing at all. She let you paint your own pictures and your own theories before ultimately pulling the rug out from under you.

This is the first book I have read of Hannah Morrissey and her writing style is beautiful. She really has a way with words that become more like art and paint such beautiful pictures and feelings that plop you right down into the middle of the story.

The only thing stopping this from being a 5 star read is that I felt the pacing was a bit off or that the story was slower at some points than it needed to be. Other than this, it was a great read with an ending/resolution I feel no one would see coming.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and Hannah Morrissey for the ARC of When I'm Dead. I had not read anything by Hannah Morrisey, and did not realize this was part of a series. With that being said, I did enjoy Morrissey's writing. When I'm Dead is a very suspenseful read that has you biting you nails in anticipation. I will definitely have to read the others in this series.

YES YES YES! I have always enjoyed Hannahs books, when I see her name I always reach for it, so I feel very lucky I was approved for this one early! Yes in fact this is the third book in this series but i feel like you could get away with passing them and jumping straight into this one. But I will say you'll want to go back and grab the first two for sure.
