I Died on a Tuesday is told from the perspectives of various characters all linked in some way to the death of a young girl many years ago, covering different periods. We have the young girl Janie, pop star Robbie Manning, and a witness support officer Vanessa.

When Robbie is arrested for the hit and run of Janie many years later, the world is shocked. But he seems to be hiding something - did he really do it? Meanwhile, Vanessa gets a surprise visit from someone she didn't know existed but is very close to her heart - but are they everything they seem?

I liked the element of mystery throughout the novel, as we slowly piece together what actually happened, jumping backwards and forwards in time. Some of the characters (and coincidences) were a bit unbelievable, and I did wonder at some of the characters' naivety.

The characters were well developed and I wasn't sure who I could trust. The mystery kept me intrigued despite the writing style, which is lots of short, dramatic sentences - I didn't love the way it was written (I never noticed this as much in other books by this author) but this style, along with the short chapters, did make the book quick and easy to read.

There were a lot of twists and drama, and a fair number of characters to get used to, but the story was intriguing and I found it interesting reading about Vanessa's role as a witness support officer - a role I had never really thought about before now!

The story beings 20 years ago when Janie White is involved in a hit and run accident whilst on her bicycle. The story is told over several timelines and through different character voices. Fast forward to the present - singer Robbie Manning is arrested at home with his wife Irena and children watching. Meanwhile in Exeter, Vanessa Grossmith is a volunteer for the Victim Support Service when her boss tells her a "secret" that Robbie has been arrested for Janie's accident. We learn that Vanessa's husband was the police officer tasked with investigating. All through the book, the various characters are hiding things, which all comes out by the end of the book. It is well written and very descriptive. I recommend this book.

I enjoyed I Died on a Tuesday but didn't LOVE it. I was really excited by the idea of the storyline but while I usually don't mind different perspectives and timelines, this one jumped back and forth very, very quickly but took what seemed like a really long time to come together which overall, left it feeling very disjointed.

In all in all, it was ok. I am glad I read it and I would recommend it to others.

Jane Corry is going from strength to strength. I Died on a Tuesday is by far her best book yet.
There’s so many twists and turns, bribery and people who are scared to speak up.
I enjoyed Vanessa’s story too. She’s a great character although she’s a little too trusting.
This is definitely a book that I will recommend to everyone.

Jane Corry is a terrific author and this is surely one of her best. Terrible things happen to ordinary people and this is typical of Jane’s style. A young lady who has just got her dream job, a musician who is about to become the next big thing and a widow who is feeling lonely but enjoys her job as a witness support officer. What connects these normal people? A terrible accident, that is just the beginning of the torment for each of them. Threats, danger, deceit and lies are all revealed on each dramatic page. Told from different perspectives, each person’s story makes uncomfortable reading and add in a high court judge with his own difficult past, this book is dark, complex and a definite page turner. Each character was cleverly detailed and encouraged sympathetic feelings although I occasionally despaired at some of their choices and reasoning. This book delivered in every way with a clever and involved story that gripped from the beginning and ended with satisfying conclusions.

The best book I've read this year!
There are many books where the story has twists and turns. Sometimes some of these twists and turns end up as blind alleys, but in this book we have multiple blind bends where the story has a new dimension each time.
Jane Corry has written an absolute gem of a story. There are hidden secrets in virtually every character's background. As these come to the fore, the whole thing changes, again and again. The story is told through the eyes of these characters.
Here we have a very well written book that has clearly been very carefully researched. All of the cast are completely believable.
It's brilliant!

I’d like to thank Penguin General UK and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read ‘I Died On A Tuesday’ written by Jane Corry in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Vanessa Grossmith is the Witness Support Officer accompanying Janie White when she attends Court following the arrest of well-known singer Robbie Manning who drove his van into her twenty years ago leaving her for dead. Everybody believes Robbie is guilty but there are two sides to a story and they’re about to be revealed during his trial.

‘I Died On A Tuesday’ is told from the perspectives of the three main characters, Vanessa, Janie and Robbie, but all is not what it seems as there are other characters who are lying and blackmailing in order for the jury to arrive at the verdict they want. It’s exceptionally well-written with a complex plot and many intricate threads that only come together in the final chapters. The main characters are perfectly portrayed and from page one I realised that I wasn’t going to be able to stop reading until I’d learnt the truth of what really happened that day. This novel is amazing, I can’t praise it enough, and even though I’ve finished reading I’m still thinking about it.

Eighteen-year-old Janie, is about to move to London for her dream job. When she is knocked off her bike and left for dead, her life changes dramatically.

Rock star Robbie, has finally been caught out for his part in the accident - twenty years later, but is all as it seems?

Vanessa is a witness support officer. Her husband was in the police, but is now deceased.

This story is told from different points of view, as well as different timelines, and I enjoyed all of it.

We think everyone is telling the truth, but as time goes on, we learn all is not as it seems.

I loved Vanessa’s character, and I felt for her, the things she has been through tore at my heart. I liked her friend, Judge, but we learn from the story that everyone has secrets that they don’t want to be revealed.

I found that I had a lot of sympathy for the main characters, as the saying goes “Hindsight is a great thing”

The story had me hooked from the very start and I love the title, it appealed to me.

My thanks to Penguin General UK - Fig Tree and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

This author is an excellent writer. Really looked forward to reading this book and I wasn’t disappointed- really recommend!

I received an E-ARC with a request for my honest review.

This enthralling crime thriller follows three people, Janie a victim of a horrific hit and run, Robbie a famous rock star and Vanessa a witness support officer. When a surprise arrest is made it shocks everyone.

Janie whose life has been changed forever is determined to find out who was responsible for her accident.

Robbie finds himself in trouble and is reluctant to admit the truth and Vanessa finds out her past may not be what it seems.

Who was responsible for Janie’s accident? Will justice be served?

This crime thriller had me hooked all the way through, as you hear from each character you get to understand the background of not only the accident but the other secrets from their past. It is the kind of read that just as you think everything has been discovered, there is more to be revealed.

I felt for all the main characters as they all have a hard time whilst the truth is being uncovered, especially Vanessa, I found her story heart-breaking.

I liked that it went back and forth between the present and past but wasn’t written in a confusing way as often this style can.

Overall, an enthralling crime thriller where the past comes back to haunt three lives.

This is a great read that has a few twists and turns to keep you on your toes.
The story has three main characters - Janie who was knocked off her bike and left for dead, Robbie who is accused of hitting her in a van and Vanessa who works in court and supports those giving evidence.
We learn about all three characters but I really felt for Vanessa when someone from her past gets in touch.
As the story unravels, more information comes to light, and what you initially expect starts to change.
I liked the way that all the characters were connected and really enjoyed this book.
Thanks to Penguin and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

This
Book set off at a cracking pace to want to keep reading .. it is convoluted with various character storylines that are somehow inter related but perhaps by the end it had a little bit of a contrived feeling. A young girl is involved in an accident that has far reaching life changing injuries for her but is not all it would seem on the surface for those involved in the case. A lot of characters to keep a track of both in and beyond the law.

Eighteen year old Janie was involved in a life changing accident and twenty years later the true story of what really happened comes to light. The story is told in three perspectives; Janie, famous singer Robbie and witness support officer Vanessa. What events led up to this accident and will justice finally be served?

I have always enjoyed Jane Corry’s writing style, having read quite a few of her previous books, and this is no exception. The story flows really nicely and the three points of views work well developing the plot. I feel it was easy to get to know the characters and there was depth to each one, as well as them evoking the reader to feel empathy and an understanding of their dilemmas and actions.

There were some really intriguing moments and I especially enjoyed some of Robbie’s timeline. Although it took me a little while to get into this thriller, once I did I was hooked wanting to see what twist or turn would happen next. The ending comes together in a clever way and overall I found it an entertaining psychological thriller. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this copy in return for an honest review.

I Died on a Tuesday is a very clever book that will keep you guessing with its twists, turns and suspenseful plot. An easy to read story told mostly from 3 perspectives, Janie - the victim, Robbie - the accused and Vanesa - the protector. Each one has their own place in the story and each one has their own secrets to keep. Thank you to netgalley, the publisher and author for gifting me an arc. I thoroughly enjoyed the read.

Jane Cory has exceeded again. I read this book with enthusiasm and speed. It was gripping in a way where the unexpected kept turning up. It was a dark story which made me upset at times and every time I thought good would happen, inevitably there was something new in the story. Heartbreaking in so many ways.

Robbie and his fate was extremely upsetting particularly because I felt so protective of him as a person and the way in which you felt he was left without choices but to follow rotten instructions when young with dire consequences.

Jane too by taking the wrong path was hugely considerate to people despite her life.

Excellent read.

I always look forward to a new title by this author. This one left me with a few Marmite moments - the overall premise and different timelines were well constructed and genuinely engrossing. The main character of Vanessa was a little frustrating in her naivety (the refrain "it was a different time was focussed on a little too often) but took you along her journey reasonable well. The ending could have been a little more snappy. But I am being picky. If you have read other Jane Corry titles this may not be your favourite but it will keep you relentlessly turning the pages all the way through!

As usual with Jane Corry books, the author of I Died on a Tuesday takes us into the world of courtrooms and prisons, where ordinary people are caught up in extraordinary events, victims of circumstances that are usually beyond their control.
In this story, a musical celebrity, Robbie, is arrested for a hit and run committed twenty years ago, which left a young girl Janey for dead. Involved in the case are Judge - his nickname and his job title - and Vanessa, an older woman who volunteers as a witness support worker. All three have a back story, all three have heartbreak to hide and secrets yet to be revealed.
I normally see the twist coming in Jane Corry books, but the twists in this multi-layered plot eluded me, making this a particularly enthralling read. The characters are good, the plot threads all come together very satisfactorily and the story holds surprises right up to the end.
I like Jane Corry's narrative style. It's simple but very effective in aking her characters credible, and she uses it to great effect here as Vanessa in particular comes to grips with what life his throwing at her now that dramatically alters her perception of the past.
Perception of the past is a theme here for the other characters, to0. But can we trust Robbie, the judge, or even victim Janey, as they share their recollections of past tragedies? And can any of them truly trust the legal system to deliver justice, and keep them safe from the evil that still stalks their lives?
I've always been a fan, but I thought this was a particularly good thriller domestic noir from Jane Corry.

This had me captivated for most of the book. It's intriguing, and I loved the short chapters.
We hear from three points of view. There is eighteen year old Janie, who has a promising career ahead of her, only for it to be ripped away after a hit and run.
Vanessa, who is widowed after her police husband Jack, has died. She is a volunteer witness support.
Robbie Manning, a rock star.
Told in two timelines, now and twenty years ago, when the accident happened. Each character tells us what happened.
I thought Vanessa was a very interesting character. The voluntary job sounded intriguing. I was a bit dubious about her naivety, but given the circumstances, I suspect she was desperate.
I found that towards the end, it felt like it was being dragged out. Once the court case was over, it should have all been tied up within a couple of chapters, but it just seemed to go and on.
Overall, it's a good read.
Thanks to Netgalley and Penguin UK for the invitation to read this in return for an honest review.

I’m afraid I found this book too simplistic, with unrealistic plots and everything tied up too neatly. Disappointing.
