This book is the 2nd book in the Susan Parker series. This was fast paced and kept my interest. I feel like it would have been better if I had read the first book.

I love a good thriller and this was a lot of fun to read. Recommend. The premise was very compelling and I enjoyed the read/

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

I enjoyed this story, it was quick and easy to read.

The Main character though, oh my goodness. She was something else. She was my least favorite part of the book. I felt like the author added in multiple people just so the book could be inclusive. I'm ok with everyone being represented in the novel however when someone is deaf and communication in ASL they don't' "say" anything they "sign". This error annoyed me and I hope it was caught before being published.

This one wasn't for me. I probably will not continue on with this series.

Many thanks to Netgalley for this book. I received this book in exchange for my honest review. My thoughts are entirely my own.

In this book Susan Parker is requested to investigate the murder of a billionaire and his mother tells Susan that it’s the billionaire murder clubs fault, they were able to tap into a serial killer’s stream where the killer records each murder and now the members will slowly be picked off. Trevor Blackburn is the only member that Susan and her team are unable to talk to because of lawyers and when Susan gets a warrant to seize computers and things Chief McDougal arrests her on obstruction of justice and Trevor vows to help her in exchange for being able to talk to the killer. The killer poses as someone from child protective services and threatens to take her daughter Natalie away. The killer comes to Susan’s house and puts something in her garage that ends up with a fire. Susan and her team figure out that the killer is actually Trevor’s son and he murdered his wife with a clothesline and left him to fend for himself. Trevor kills his son before he kills him. Trevor is placed under arrest and Susan reports to a new supervisor.

Not my favourite read. It was ok but didn’t find myself wanting to keep reading. It was enjoyable though and my first from this author

Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the arc in exchange for my honest review!


I'm going to be honest, I struggled with this one. It was hard to stay focused and at times I was just bored. Lot's of questionable decisions with the main character that didn't make sense and left me scratching my head.

FBI Agent Susan Parker finds a body. This person belonged to a club where they watched people get murdered. Others are killed as well.
A most interesting book. There is twists and turns that keep you waiting for the next one.
Thanks to the publisher Storm Publishing and to NetGalley for the ARC.

This was a very good book and quite chilling. I could not put this book down and read it in one day. I would definitely recommend this book.

I got bored with this book. I found nothing about the characters that made me want to keep reading. I'm looking for thrillers that are fresh and new and this wasn't it for me. I found the main character unlikable.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a review copy of this book.
The Murder Club is an FBI thriller where we have a string of different murders that all lead back to one individual.
Through the thorough detective work of a pizza delivery girl and her friends, our main character Susan comes to learn that there has been a serial killer at large in their area for some years. Though the method of killing and the profiles of the victims are similar, they have never been attributed to the same individual. As Susan starts to unravel this mystery, she soon realises that her personal life is affecting her work on the case and the serial killer seems to turn his attention to Susan and her family.
I enjoyed this book and was invested from the get go however the ending was a let down for me. There were a lot of things happening that were unbelievable and convenient and it really didn't pack a punch in the way that the author intended.

Thank you for allowing me to review this book. I found it very exciting. I liked the characters and the respect shown to Urduja, the local pizza delivery girl. It was fascinating how the murders of some women over many years are quickly digned off, due to their impoverished backgrounds. This was well written and the twists and turns kept me interested. So many votes ups, so many people who were being manipulated. The ending wax unexpected.
A great read and an author I look forward to reading more from.

This book was not what I expected it to be and I loved it! I didn’t realize it was part of a series, but that didn’t prevent me from enjoying the book. I appreciate the opportunity to review this advanced reader copy thanks to NetGalley and the publisher and look forward to reading more books by Sam Baron

Absolutely gripping and thrilling read! I was on the edge of my seat and couldn’t put it down. Bonus points if you read this in a cabin in the woods :) highly recommend!

I really don't know where to start... I had high hopes for this book but it is very unfortunate that i feel about it the way i do. The writing style was not to my liking. I did like that the first chapter was from the killer's POV (who doesnt right?), so i was hooked until i wasnt. There was so much more that could've been included from his perspective. The book felt like it was not written in a seasoned manner, if that makes sense. Some parts of it felt cringey (sorry, Sam) but that was how it felt. The plot is fine and all but it wasn't enticing as I hoped/expected from the title.
Good things about the book: it kind of got me out of a reading slump that has been going on for more than a month. I loved the idea of "rich billionaires having their own unethical club" and I really wished there was more to it. and lastly, nothing wrong with a badass female main character.
note: I have not read the book previous to this one and it did not affect my catching up on any events mentioned so that was nice.

The Murder Club by Sam Baron
FBI Agent Susan Parker #2

I tried book two of this series to see if perhaps the main character, Susan, was someone I could relate to better than I did in the first book – nope – not really. I read the first eight chapters, decided to dread the end, scratched my head, read a bit in the middle and decided that was it for me and opted not to read any more. I got a feel for Susan and don’t feel she is a person or character I want to spend more time with. The characters are all seem to be caricatures and/or stereotypes rather than developed interesting people that I might want to get to know better. I am sure that other readers will find Susan and the cases she investigates perfect for them, but she is a no-go for me. Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review. (2-3 Stars)

Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the opportunity to read this ARC.

I really wanted to like this book as I enjoy crime thrillers however the story was dull and predictable. On top of that the FMC was a nightmare, She is very hypocritical and just plays the victim throughout. Her role as a Special Agent in Charge working with the FBI is unbelievable as it takes her quite a while to figure out the simples of things. Like others have said this book felt like it had an agenda and unfortunately without a compelling story or a sympathetic character it means people won't say around to listen.

Unfortunately I have tried to read and review this novel multiple times. I keep getting to about 15-20% and just want to put it down. I don’t feel appropriate rating due to not getting far enough in to form an opinion. I just don’t think it’s for me! My apologies!

FBI Agent Susan Parker investigates a wealthy man's murder, uncovering a sinister Murder Club fixated on the 'Clothesline killer.' These crimes involve single mothers strangled at night. A pizza delivery girl also delves into the cases, aiding Susan in revealing chilling clues.
As the killer targets Susan, tension rises. The story delves into the killer's psychology, keeping readers on edge. Intricate connections unfold, posing a personal threat to Susan and her daughter. Parker's team faces challenges, while her family's safety hangs in the balance.

The narrative intensifies with each twist, leaving readers captivated. Will Susan outsmart the killer? As suspense mounts, the killer's sinister intentions loom large. Whether a new reader or long-time fan, this riveting tale promises an enthralling read.

I recommend this book series and this author if you are looking for a great psychological thriller full of surprises. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance review copy in exchange for my honest review.

Definitely one of those page turners that will keep you up late at night, just finishing one chapter. And then another chapter.
Well-developed storyline with superb character. Loved the plot. Imagine an exclusive Murder Club with billionaire members being killed off for becoming obsessed with the mysterious ‘Clothesline killer.’ The previous victims were all single mothers being investigated for suspected neglect who bore the same chilling hallmark – each was strangled in her bed at night by a masked figure.
But the Murder Club aren’t the only ones who have been tracking his every move…
A local pizza delivery girl has been closely following the cases and building her own investigative report. Though dismissed as isolated crimes before, our FBI agent Susan Parker unravels a shocking trail of clues from the girl’s scrapbook that lead to the forgotten women and orphaned children left in the killer’s wake.
This is more than enough to keep you hooked until the end. Enjoy the read.

Though this is the second in a series I didn’t feel that not having read the first impeded me during it. I’m grateful to NetGalley for giving me the chance to read and review this.
The Murder Club is a thriller where we have a lot of the pieces in front of us from the outset, but it takes time for them to all come together.
Thanks to the sleuthing of a pizza delivery girl and her friends, who all have a vested interest in the work they’re doing, our team come to learn that there has been a serial killer working in their county for some years. Though the method of killing and the victims are all similar, they are not attributed to the same person as the police investigating make some assumptions about each of the victims. The Clothesline Killer as he is nicknamed also seems to be branching out, killing members of a very exclusive club.
As our lead character Susan Parker heads up the FBI investigation, she comes to learn that some of her personal life is impacting on the current case. She too is at risk, but doesn’t learn why until very late on.
Things escalated in a way that made little sense, and the closing revelations really did come out of nowhere. However, the story was an entertaining one though it offered little out of the ordinary.
