Thank you Netgalley for this ARC of I Died on a Tuesday.

Holy cow, this book packs a punch! A whole host of unlikely characters brought together to finally settle the cold case of who hit Janie with their car over twenty years ago, leaving her for dead. The amount of secrets they all hold will astound you.

I thought the way the author tied this all together was very clever, and full of heart. Some moments I wanted to hug the book to my chest, and others I wanted to throw it across the room. It's wildly unbelievable, all of it, but it's also what makes it so fun.

I just finished this book and it wasn't what I expected! It was a little slow to start, but once it picked up it was hard to put down. Every time I thought I had everything figured out, a new twist was thrown in. This book kept me guessing right until the end. I would definitely recommend it!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this arc. Unfortunately, this book wasn’t for me. I was super excited for the plot and I love mystery/thrillers. I found myself having a hard time getting into it.

All in all this book was fine. I liked the character development, the three person narration, and the initial storyline. I began to lose interest earlier than I expected to as there was some delay in getting to some of the issues and Robbie's continuous "I can't tell" made it a bit long. Overall, the book was fine.

I found myself thoroughly engrossed in this book from start to almost-finish. The suspense was palpable throughout, keeping me eagerly turning pages to uncover the mysteries. However, as the story reached its climax, I was bombarded with a deluge of new information that became somewhat overwhelming to digest. Despite this, the enigmatic nature of the plot kept me hooked; I relished the challenge of piecing together the puzzle, never quite sure of what to expect next.

Despite grappling with the complexity of certain parts, I still found the overall experience immensely satisfying. The intricate plotline and well-developed characters were standout features that ensured I remained invested until the very end.

I Died on Tuesday was a book that had way too much going on. Each of the characters that were telling their part of the story had complicated plot lines … it was as if each story could be a book in itself.
The last hall of the book has so many big reveals/plot twists , it just didn’t ring true for me.
The main crime … a hit and run although terrible seemed to create an unusual amount of anger.
Thanks net galley for providing me with this book in Exchange for an honest review.

4.5 for me on this one
Could have been 5 but it was a slow start for me so I almost gave up BUT I am so glad I didn’t because it was soooo good.
This book should definitely be on your TBR list for 2024 you will not regret it.
Good amount of everything despite the slow start.

I Died on a Tuesday, by Jane Corry, follows three intertwining stories. Janie is an 18-year-0ld girl who was injured by a hit and run. Robbie, a once-popular musician, may be responsible for her debilitating injuries. Vanessa, a witness support officer, comes to know these individuals 20 years later, when Robbie is arrested for the accident.

This story had great potential to be a twisty thriller, but fell short. The characters were likeable, but the narrative became boring in the latter third. The writing became easy and weak at this stage of the book. I rushed through the end just to get it finished.

Thank you so much to NetGalley for allowing me to read this early in exchange for a free review. This book drew me in by the description and cover. It had interesting characters and the plot twist kept my interest. Will recommend this book in my reader groups.

The title drew me in, the book did not. I never felt a connection to any of the characters and found them at times to be quite frustrating. Overall it was too cheesy for my liking.
Thank you #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Tha k you Netgalley for the ARC of this book. Jane Corry is one of my go to authors and I was thrilled to get this early copy. The story and characters were well done and the storyline told in multiple POVs was amazing. Highly recommend

The book cover attracted my attention.
I thought I would be playing detective in finding holes in the characters version of the tragedy.
But that was not the case. Chapter by chapter, the main 3 characters, talk about events, stories, things happening in their lives . In the beginning ,life between the characters seems hermetic and sometimes a bit hard to follow since some people talk to their departed loved ones.
The characters all have similar dysfunctional families which left me on my appetite.
As the story unfold, pieces of the puzzle start to click together and you begin to imagine how the accident happened. .
A few pages before the end, a double mystery pops out of nowhere…
I would have liked the author to step out of her comfort zone regarding the characters past and do a better job of linking the three main characters stories that , at times, were “statement like” in order for the reader to have a full hand of cards so they can decide whom to believe.
Even after finishing the book, I have a zillions of questions that will stay unanswered.
Thanks a million to #Netgalley for giving me the privilege of reading this book!

Thank you so much to NetGalley for allowing me to read this early in exchange for a free review. I loved this book so much! It had great characters and a plot twist that made my jaw hit the floor!! Highly recommend!

Engaging and entertaining. A recommended purchase for collections where crime and thrillers are popular.

3.5 stars

This was a very good mystery/thriller. Told from multiple perspectives, there was a lot happening.
However that being said, I never got bored and I was constantly turning the page to see what was going on next.

This is going to be a great summer read for those thriller lovers!

Thank you to NetGalley, Penguin Random House Canada, and Doubleday Canada for providing this book, with my honest review below.

I Died on a Tuesday by Jane Corry had such an interesting premise that I was eager to read it and understand the mystery. In many ways it delivered on my curiosity, giving me a complex mystery, but in others I got perhaps multiple books in one.

We start with Janie, a young girl about to set off to London to join the publishing world with big dreams to be a writer one day. She is sad to leave her father since her mother isn’t in their lives, but so eager to get on her way. After her routing morning swim she is biking home when she is a victim of a hit and run, left in a coma and then speechless and paralyzed, a shell of the younger eager and energetic woman setting out to begin adulthood in earnest.

We then jump twenty years in the future when massive pop star Robbie, known as the family man, the rare star who hasn’t lost a sense of his humble roots, is arrested for the crime. While it’s clear he was the driver of the van, as the court trial proceeds we learn there were other players adding complexity to the crime. Vanessa, acting as witness support, also plays a part with supporting Janie and gets embroiled in the mystery, as does her friend and the judge on the case.

While the mystery and struggle for Janie was well written and pushed emotional buttons, there was so much happening, so many side plots, that eventually the tragedy of what happened to Janie and why the ‘villain(s)’ stayed buried for twenty years was still compelling, it was pushed to the background. I enjoyed the sub plots but the main tale would have shined brighter on its own and been more impactful.

I recommend this, it packs a punch, but would also say it may work best for those who get bored with a single story line and truly enjoy keeping up with several.

Thank you Netgalley, Penguin publishers and Jane Corry for the advance copy of his book.

Twenty years ago, Janie White was the victim of a devastating hit and run. She miraculously survived. However,the person responsible was never found. Twenty years later, Robbie Manning, a famous singer, is arrested for the hit and run. Vanessa, a court support worker, supports Janie as she testifies in court.
.
This book is mostly written from Janie, Vanessa and Robbie’s point of view.

I enjoyed this book and found the story
interesting.
