Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC.

I devoured this book in just a couple of days - there was definitely a lot going on but the intertwined stories were relatively easy to follow, despite the 4 distinct POVs. Trying to piece together the various puzzles made this a page-turner right until the very end when I felt it wrapped up too fast - there felt like a lot of slightly unfinished plots :( Apart from a too-fast ending, this was a solid read that I enjoyed.

Trigger warning - the accident is relived over and over and though I have not been in an accident like this, I found it a LOT of detail that might upset some readers.

This story told in alternating perspectives ( 4 to be exact) starts off with a hit and run. The premise of the story had me opening the book, but it felt dragged out and I had to slog through. Over all , it was just ok.

3/5

Thank you to netGalley for the arc. All opinions are my own.

With aspirations of working in London book publishing, Janie has a bright career ahead of her. The quiet silence is broken while she is returning home from a swim in the bay at the break of dawn. Janie is riding her bike when a white van speeds by around the corner, and she is run down and abandoned on the street, changing her life forever. Robbie Manning, a worldwide pop artist, is imprisoned twenty years later for Janie's attempted murder. Since he has been waiting for the truth to be revealed for twenty years and is prepared for his fate, Robbie does not refute the charges. However, what if the story goes further? The book I DIED ON A TUESDAY is a compelling read.


This book takes on a unique format as it is told in 4 POVS: Robbie, Judge, Vanessa, and Janie. To some the plot might come off as confusing because it has so many POVS and it’s told with so much detail in each persons perspective. This is a slow burn book so be prepared to take your time with it. I really enjoyed the perspectives and insights offered by each character. This book has a lot of characters, some of whom are light-hearted and easily forgotten. Vanessa is honestly the only one who sticks out the most.

I Died on a Tuesday is a great book for slow-burn suspense and psychological thriller readers. Parts of this book felt drug out to me. I didn't particularly like how slow it felt.

I decided to give this book 4 stars because for probably 5/6th of the book I really enjoyed following the three main stories (Robert, Janie and Vanessa) as the built to be intertwined. The loss of a star because the story just went on and on too long. I don't know, I just felt like I was torn between being entertained and feeling like I was being given too much that should have felt more like ingenious twists. There are so many characters hiding things from their past that again instead of it being interesting it felt like too much--like I got the book before it was edited!

I definitely am glad I got to read this book and I'm so glad I got this copy from #NetGalley.

I Died on a Tuesday by Jane Corry is a decent read for fans of slow-burn psychological thrillers. The story alternates between multiple perspectives—Janie, Robbie, Judge, and Vanessa—all tied to a tragic hit-and-run. While the premise is intriguing and the twists keep you guessing, some parts felt dragged out, especially in Vanessa’s chapters.

The characters are flawed, which makes them interesting but not always likable. The ending ties things up well enough, but it didn’t leave a strong impact. Overall, it’s a fair read if you like reflective, character-driven stories, but it may not stand out in the crowded thriller genre.

3.5. The book opens with an accident. A horrible accident that leaves Janie on the ground, her bicycle next to her, hit by a white van and left for dead. Then the book forwards to 20 years later. There were a lot of characters in this book - almost too many. Some were well developed like Vanessa, the court appointed witness guardian who helps witnesses thru trials. I think there were so many characters in this book that it sort of muddied it to be honest. Still a fast-paced thrilling book that I enjoyed.

Thank you to NetGalley, Jane Corry and Penguin Publishing for the e-Arc in exchange for my honest opinion.

3.5/5 stars.

Janie has a bright future in front of her with dreams of working in book publishing in London. She’s on her way home after an early dawn swim in the bay when the peaceful stillness is shattered. A white van careens around the corner where Janie is riding her bike, and her life is forever changed when she is run down and left for dead in the street. Twenty years later, international pop star, Robbie Manning, is arrested for the attempted murder of Janie. Robbie doesn’t deny the accusations because he’s been waiting for the truth to come out for twenty years, and he’s ready for his punishment… but what if there’s more of the story?

I DIED ON A TUESDAY is an interesting read. It’s told in multiple POV: Janie, Vanessa, Robbie, and Judge. Each POV has some involvement in the overarching plot, but it is not always clear how their perspective will influence the narrative. I enjoyed each character’s POV and the insight they shared. There are a lot of characters in this book, and some are very forgettable and without much weight. The main characters are well developed, Vanessa the most so.

The plot is interesting, but I did find that I had trouble really sinking my teeth into it so to speak. There’s a lot going on within each character’s POV and I wasn’t always clear on where the overall trajectory of the story was going. I do think this was, in part, due to the secrets each character was holding and not a criticism of the author’s writing style. The last third of the novel feels very convoluted with the author attempting to cover up all her loose ends. It made my head spin trying to put this all together.

There is one aspect of the plot that’s mentioned in repetition that I didn’t fully understand the impact or need for influence on… I am not sure what the author was trying to suggest here.

Overall, an interesting and for the most part, steadily paced read.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher, Doubleday Canada, of this advanced digital copy for the opportunity to read this novel in exchange for an honest review! All opinions expressed are my own.

I loved this book. Every character had an interesting story arch. I loved how we heard everything from Janie’s perspective. The clever links between characters that weren’t super obvious led to a lot of after thought. The plot was not what I thought it was going to be but in a good way. This book surprised me!

First l'd like to thank NetGalley for another opportunity to reac
The characters were a bit hard to connect at the beginning which usually foreshadows a connection at the end of most stories. Some connections never followed through and I was left a bit stumped. Also some of the story put emphasis on: the day of the week it happened? I didn't follow that at all Towards the end of the book there were a few other twists that felt unnecessary to bring the story together but still had an interesting affect.
Good storyline overall.
I would've loved a bit more detail on Robbie's wife and if who he thought he saw in the courtroom was actually Janie's mom as well.
I was rooting for Vanessa, Robbie, and the Judge.

Eighteen year old Janie is cycling home when she is run over by a van and left for dead. Twenty years later, a pop star is accused of her attempted murder, leaving everyone to wonder what happened and what the truth was.

I enjoyed the suspense in this novel—all was definitely not what it seemed. I also appreciated the twisty plot, the three seemingly disparate characters and was satisfied with how all of the threads tied together at the end. The pace was good and helped by how the story unfolded in flashbacks and the present day.

Readers who enjoy crime fiction and psychological thrillers will likely enjoy this novel.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for providing me with an ARC of this novel. All of the opinions offered in this review are my own.

I really enjoyed this book - the only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the part relating being raped to being naive, I had a hard time continuing on - but it was a well written and well thought out book and I look forward to the finished version

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you, NetGalley.

I recognize the merits of this book and its author, but this was just not for me.

Huge thank you for the ARC!

I thought this one would be a win for me based on the cover, title comparisons and the synopsis.,

Unfortunately, this one wasn't for me. I couldn't get interested in the changing characters and was lost on the plot quickly.

Wish this book success!

This is a twisty and suspenseful story of a group of adults dealing with old secrets that refuse to stay buried. It’s a complex tale of betrayal, hidden truths, and shocking revelations that will keep readers hooked from start to finish.

Janie White was about to embark on her adult life when a tragic event changed everything—she was struck by a van and left for dead. The incident, which seemed destined to remain unsolved, haunted her and those close to her for decades. Fast forward twenty years, and the shocking truth emerges when the perpetrator is finally arrested. To everyone's disbelief, the accused is none other than famous singer Robbie Manning.

The story takes another twist as we are introduced to Vanessa Manning, a victim support officer. Vanessa's involvement in the case brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to the narrative. As she struggles to reconcile her duty with the shocking news about her brother, she becomes the moral compass of the story. Her determination to uncover the truth and seek justice for Janie is what drives the plot forward, adding an emotional and ethical layer to the mystery.

As Vanessa delves deeper into the investigation, secrets from the past begin to unravel, exposing the complicated and intertwined relationships between the characters. How was Robbie involved, and why would he do something so terrible? Was he truly guilty, or is there more to the story than meets the eye? The narrative is filled with red herrings and unexpected twists that keep readers guessing, revealing just enough at each turn to build suspense without giving away the final twist.

The characters are richly developed, each with their own flaws and secrets that make them feel real and relatable. Corry’s skillful storytelling keeps the tension high, weaving together the threads of the past and present seamlessly to create a truly engaging and thrilling read.
Corry delivers a story that is both heart-pounding and thought-provoking, ensuring that readers are kept guessing until the very last page.

This was one of those books that I felt excited to read but then quickly that faded. Overall it is a fun idea for a story but I felt that a lot of characters were introduced at once and nothing was really made of all them. Overall a decent read but not one that truly excited me.

I received a free advanced copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was difficult to read. It was so full of British slang that I had to guess what the characters were saying at times. I understand the story takes place in an area of England, but there is no way a 69 year old woman is using that much slang in her every day life. It did not feel real at all.

this was a really convoluted story. I am not sure I see the same excitement that the positive reviews did. The characters seemed so flat and one-dimensional, new characters were introduced rapid fire at the very end in order to wrap up some open storylines. The build up seemed okay but everything really fell apart at the end. I really disliked every character, Vanessa was so naive and overly Pollyannish. Robbie was honestly just boring and kind of stupid. The villains were all bad- no redeeming qualities, just the equivalent of a man in a black hat twirling a mustache. I found most of the characters to be irritating, honestly. The title was never explained, as the accident was a wednesday. How many people could possibly be culpable in this accident? This one just wasn't for me.

Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Random House for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are solely my own. Book to be published June 6, 2025.

Sinister, immersive, and addictive!

I Died on a Tuesday is an ominous, compelling novel that takes you into the lives of a handful of people, including the famous pop star Robbie Manning, whose worlds have been irrevocably changed forever by a tragic accident that occurred twenty years prior that left one young woman physically and emotionally scarred for life, and the rest haunted and struggling to survive the inevitable guilt, repercussions and fallout sure to come.

The prose is expressive and charged. The characters, including all the supporting characters, are complex, vulnerable, and conflicted. And the plot is a menacing, intricate tale of life, loss, family, deception, friendship, grief, guilt, denial, secrets, self-preservation, manipulation, coercion, violence, redemption, and survival.

Overall, I Died on a Tuesday is a dark, twisty, gripping tale by Corry that kept me guessing from the very first page and left me chilled, satisfied, impressed, and curious to see what her devious mind might manage to come up with next.
