This was a riveting book that I had trouble putting down. I really enjoyed it. vThank you so much. I will definitely be recommending this!

I Died on a Tuesday follows the 20 year old cold case of Janie White, getting mowed down on a bike and left to die, finally coming to light. I wasn't a huge fan of this unfortunately. I found most of the characters annoying and dry. I also felt like the author tried to tell too many stories and tried to weave them all together and it just didn't quite work.

Thank you to NetGalley and Doubleday for the ARC!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for my gifted copy.

I could not put this one down! It was a page-turner and I definitely recommend this book!

Told through three interwoven narratives, I Died on a Tuesday is fast-paced and kept me hooked—I read it all in one sitting. While some storylines were much more compelling than others, and not all the characters were particularly likeable, the structure had potential. It did feel a bit long at times, with certain overlaps between the narratives seeming more for complexity’s sake than actual impact. By the end, I was left a little confused—I wasn’t entirely sure what was true or how the title really tied it all together. Still, it’s an intriguing read that fans of layered thrillers might enjoy.

This was a riveting story that gripped me from the beginning. I enjoyed the different characters and their storylines that made me want to read one more chapter. Any author that keeps me wanting more is a plus in my book.

Could not finish. Following all the characters was hard and confusing. The story line had potential, but it was just so awkwars

Interesting premise, with a weak follow through. I tried to hang on, but I just couldn't commit to 465 pages of mediocre dialogue.

Eighteen-year-old Janie is about to embark on career in book publishing, in London, when she's run down in a hit-and-run one morning. She's left barely alive on a quiet street, with a white van careening off.

Twenty years later, pop superstar Robbie Manning is arrested for the attempted murder of Janie White. Robbie goes quietly, as he's been waiting for this day for years.

No one can believe that Robbie is the suspect; he's known to be a good guy, and has a family he loves. Robbie refuses to deny the accusations, as his lawyer struggles to help him. His career suffers, and his family are targeted.

Janie meanwhile, has built a quiet life for herself, with her dad her carer, and who is fiercely protective of his daughter.

The author uses three points of view to tell this story: Janie, Robbie, and Vanessa, a retired widow who volunteers with Victim Support, who is assigned to help Janie through the trial process. At first, it seems hard to understand what role Vanessa will play, beyond her job to help Janie, but author Jane Corry spends a lot of time with Vanessa, showing us her years married to a former police detective, and tells us of his quest to bring Janie's attempted killer to justice.

The pacing is on the slower side, with Corry going back and forth in Robbie's and Vanessa's lives, showing us who they are and gradually showing us connections and interactions in their lives, and the complex set of circumstances that led to Janie almost dying, and the events that transpired after, eventually leading to Robbie's arrest, and revelations in Vanessa's life.

I enjoyed this, but I will admit it was a little hard keeping some of the characters straight, as there were a lot of them. I think there were also a few too convenient coincidences, and the author does tie together all the story strands together, eventually, making for a mostly satisfying ending.

I Died on a Tuesday is a brilliantly written (almost) murder-mystery. It's clear that the author spent a lot of time determining the intricate links between all the characters and shaping their story. However, I did expect a bigger punch at the end. While many secrets about each character are uncovered throughout the story, some of them simply didn't add much to the intrigue itself. I was expecting a big reveal, something I wouldn't have seen coming in the last 30 pages or so, but unfortunately, I was kept on the edge of my seat throughout the entire story, only to be disappointed in the end. It felt rushed and seemed to me like the author left loose ends unresolved.

I give this one a generous 4 stars because I did enjoy reading it, yet I feel like the author would have been capable of crafting a more "punchy" ending.

There was a lot to like about this story. It was the kind of story that I wasn’t able to guess what would happen in the end, which is great! That definitely makes it stand out amongst the others I’ve read. It was definitely an interesting way for some evidence to be given in the trial of Robbie that I hadn’t seen done before in a book, and I liked it! That being said, there were like four of five parts that felt like they should’ve been endings but then the story continued on. And there were two very distinct sides to the narrative, and I felt they were very loosely connected. But if you didn’t necessarily need them to be connected, then they were two good, mostly separate stories.

A tragedy involving a popstar and how an accident can affect the guilty party for the rest of their lives. Very interesting.

Thank you to NetGalley for this eARC gifted in exchange for my honest review.

I Died on a Tuesday had an intriguing premise, but ultimately, I found it to be a bit of a mixed bag. The story opens with a gripping tragedy—a young woman, Janie, on the brink of a new life, is run down by a van and left for dead. The twist comes 20 years later when pop superstar Robbie Manning is arrested for the crime. The way the story flips between Janie’s past and the present-day fallout kept me hooked for a while.

I appreciated the complex layers of the narrative, particularly how the book weaves together three different perspectives on that fateful day. It’s an interesting format that made me question who to trust, and I loved the mystery of uncovering what really happened. However, there were parts that dragged, especially when the focus shifted too much onto Robbie’s celebrity status rather than pushing forward the central mystery.

The pacing was a little uneven too. While the first half had me on the edge of my seat, the second half slowed down a bit, leaving me feeling detached from Janie’s emotional journey. The reveal at the end wasn’t as impactful as I’d hoped, partly because I wasn’t as connected to the characters as I wanted to be.

Overall, I Died on a Tuesday had a lot of promise, but it fell a little flat for me. The premise was solid, and the writing kept me turning pages, but I was left wanting more depth and a stronger emotional connection to the characters. If you like a mystery that explores multiple perspectives, you might enjoy it, but it didn’t quite live up to my expectations.

This is the second book I’ve read by this author and because it was so highly recommended I wanted to give it a go. Great story line but I just had a hard time getting into it and connecting with the characters.

I Died on a Tuesday by Jane Corry is a compelling psychological thriller that blends suspense with an emotional exploration of life, death, and second chances. Corry masterfully creates tension, using an intriguing premise that keeps you guessing as secrets unravel and unexpected connections come to light.

The characters are complex and flawed, adding emotional weight to the mystery. While some plot twists feel a bit predictable and the pacing slows in places, the overall narrative remains engaging, with moments of real emotional impact.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for this Advanced Readers Copy of I DIed on a Tuesday by Jane Corry!

I love a good "full of twists and secrets" book, and I Died on a Tuesday has them in spades. Multiple POVs, secrets held for many years, and a mystery analyzed from many perspectives. I was hooked through the first 2/3 of the book.

Unfortunately, towards the end, I felt like there was a bit too much going on, and too many red herrings being thrown into the mix.

Recommend this to readers who like stories about the effects of long-held secrets being exposed.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Canada for offering me an eARC, in exchange for my honest review. A solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.

I Died on a Tuesday is a fantastic read! I truly enjoyed the characters and their development as the story progressed. Without posting spoilers, I'll just say that I enjoyed the way everyone is linked together in some way, even when it seems that they're not. This dynamic provided a very exciting and addictive story line that will leave you thinking!

TOO MANY CHARACTERS. It was so hard to follow along and know who was who especially when you are anticipating someone must change their name at some point. I liked the start of the story but honestly the end fell flat for me and I was a bit disappointed. There wasn't anything that really struck me as shocking, even Jack was dead and his past behaviour didn't surprise me at all. I didn't hate it, but liked her last book much more! Thank you to NetGalley, Jane Corry and Penguin Publishing for the Advanced Readers Copy.
