Wow! What a wild ride! This book kept me on the edge of my seat and I could not put it down. The plot was intriguing, eerie, and futuristic. The heavy use of AI and cryptocurrency interweaved throughout this book made it unlike any other suspense/thriller I’ve read before. I really enjoyed the characters and their relationships. The romance element to the story was organic and swoony. The book was a perfect mix of suspense, coziness, and action. Loved every minute of this book I highly recommend it. Thank you so much for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Artificial Intelligence is a scary thing. Coble and Acker make it even scarier. I am loving these absolute new stories from them.

I received an advanced readers copy from Thomas Nelson and Netgalley. Opinions are my own.

I thought this was a very creative idea for a book! I thought the book was good, overall, and very engaging. I kept wanting to know what happened next!

Oh my goodness, the plot twist was so beautifully crafted that I had to read it twice to fully comprehend it.

It was an incredible modern tale of a woman striving to rebuild her life after the accidental death of her beloved husband. She was already overwhelmed when she discovered that her husband's death might not have been an accident, but rather a murder. The story is captivating, illustrating how modern technology can unveil hidden truths. Each character in the novel possesses unique traits, staying true to their distinct personalities. The narrative unfolds as the woman continues to search for clues, leading to a sudden revelation of the actual events. Those she initially believed to be allies may have been her enemies all along.

The plot is meticulously written, with every detail carefully structured. The characters are vivid and lifelike. The only discomfort I felt was at the beginning of the story when the characters were introduced rapidly, making it difficult to grasp what was happening. However, I soon adjusted to the pace. I didn't find any grammatical errors, nor did I feel bored at any point in the story. The author did an excellent job crafting such an intriguing tale.

This book does not contain any profanity or explicit sexual scenes that might discomfort some readers. Anyone interested in a sci-fi thriller or a murder mystery will find this book compelling and engaging.

I enjoyed the mystery and the romance in the story. AI is scary and I can’t imagine talking to my dead husband all the time. I’m glad it ended in a way that satisfied me.

I absolutely loved this book. The AI aspect of it was very interesting. Colleen Coble has long been a favorite of mine but this co author was so good I couldn’t tell where. He started and she ended. They wrote beautifully together!
Katrina is still grieving the loss of her husband Jason a year ago. She works at a company that creates chatbots. The newest one is mimicking her deceased husband. They created him by loading all of his socials, texts, emails and photos into the program so when she talks to the chatbot or asks questions it sounds like him. One day she asks, tell me something I don’t know about you, he comes back with I think I was murdered! With the help of her childhood friend and Jason’s “voice” through chatbot they try to figure out what really happened to Jason.

Colleen Coble's "I Think I Was Murdered" is a riveting and masterfully crafted thriller that captivates readers from the very first page. Coble's expertise in weaving suspenseful and emotionally charged narratives shines through in this gripping tale of mystery and intrigue.

The story follows an unforgettable journey filled with unexpected twists and turns, as the protagonist uncovers layers of secrets and deception. Coble's deft characterization brings the characters to life, making their struggles and triumphs feel deeply personal and relatable. The protagonist's quest for truth is both compelling and heart-wrenching, drawing readers into a world where every clue leads to more questions.

Coble’s writing is both evocative and precise, creating an atmosphere of tension and urgency that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The plot is meticulously constructed, with each revelation adding depth and complexity to the overall story. The blend of suspense, mystery, and emotional depth makes this novel a standout in its genre.

"I Think I Was Murdered" is a testament to Colleen Coble's storytelling prowess, offering a thrilling reading experience that lingers long after the final page. It is a must-read for fans of suspenseful fiction and anyone who loves a well-crafted mystery that challenges the mind and touches the heart.

I'm so sorry, but I did not finish this. It was very messy and was taking too long to get to anything interesting. I think the writing style was just not for me.

I found it to be a unique topic, as I read and wonder is it fact or fiction. The world of science is the latest book by this author team. I found it unusual, interesting, captivating to the end. Enjoyed the comments at the end.
I recommend this book to readers. Given arc by Net Galley and Thomas Nelson for my honest review. Releases..Nov 12

This seems to be a cozy mystery type of book, but it wasn't really my thing. That being said I like to focus on the positive things about a book because someone out there would love to read this. If you're into a really easy mystery read with a tinge of suspense (which is predictable), this might be for you. This was not a book that came with a wild twist or anything. I did find the AI part of this story pretty interesting considering it made me Google the idea of this being a real thing, and it turns out that this is not a new concept (although, it was new to me). I did adore the cutesy romance between the MC and Seb, but its worth mentioning there was no spice in this book at all. So, if you're into that just be aware that this has 0 of that. Yeah, so overall this book just wasn't for me, but Its not a bad book. There are definitely people out there who will love this book, especially if they are into cozy books.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me review this book.

"I Think I Was Murdered" is a romance with a mystery. I was intrigued by the idea of a woman addicted to an AI version of her husband, and I liked how that was explored. The main characters were generally likable and acted in realistic ways. However, I didn't quite understand why she was so completely trusting and open with someone I thought she ought to question the motives of a little more. Seb, who had a crush on Katrina when they were young, now goes out of his way to help her out even though he has a lot to deal with at the moment. She finally appreciates his fine qualities and willingness to help and protect her, which helps her realize how dependent she's been on the AI.

There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this novel.

Intriguing! The addition of the AI bot in order to find out who murdered Jason was interesting. Seb was my favorite character not only because of his mad cooking skills but also because of his compassion. Bestamore sounded so much like my grandma and brought up a lot of great memories for me. The suspense and family relationships missed the mark for me a little bit in this story.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

This story has great twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I loved the AI twist too. Colleen Coble and Rick Acker are wonderful writers but together it takes their work to another level. This is classified as Christian literature and I understand that but it's not written with hit me over the head Christian ideas. Instead it shows how a Christian uses their relationship with God to help them in difficult situations.
Huge thanks to Netgalley and Thomas Nelson Fiction for an ARC.

I throughly enjoyed I Think I was Murdered. Well written with a great plot. I recommend this book. I received an advance ebook from the publisher and Netgalley. This is my unbiased review.

Good mystery….as always!
I enjoyed that the characters knew each other in high school and reconnected. Interesting dynamics between the brothers and their dad.
I have no idea what bit coins are but that didn’t take away from the story.
Thank you Netgalley for the arc.

Colleen Coble and Rick Acker brings Artificial Intelligence into the mystery genre in I Think I Was Murdered. I enjoyed the suspense and twists and this was a quick read for me. The romance and family themes were also sweet to read. Thank you, Netgalley and Thomas Nelson Fiction for giving me this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is the first time I have read anything by these authors. I can, with confidence, say that I would read other books by them. Although I have always been into technology, this is the first time I understood a little about what AI can do. At my age, I would have given anything to be able to hear my mother & father’s voices throughout my life. If only this existed, or made available twenty years ago!!

The story was intriguing and the characters were likable. The small town setting, relaxing atmosphere, and a “family” of friends watching out for each other is something I long for right now. The authors painted a vivid picture.

There was a twist at the end that I did not see coming. I highly recommend reading this book!

A woman, Katrina, who is an attorney for a tech company, uses an AI app, loaded with her late husband's communications, as a way to 'talk' to him. When she types in questions, the response from the app seems like exactly something he would say. However, as she digs deeper into the accident that claimed his life, he makes the startling statement that he believes he was murdered over a find of $30 million worth of bit coin. Can Katrina discovered what happened to her husband, so that she can let go of the past and move on with her life?

I enjoyed this book and appreciated the clean language. It will keep the reader guessing until the end. The only thing that kept it from being 5 stars is the one situation that seemed a little 'off'. One of the main character's elderly father has an accident and is in ICU, but the normally dutiful son goes out of town with Katrina and doesn't even check in with the hospital for several days. That was the one part of the book that didn't make sense. Otherwise, very enjoyable.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

**Thank you so much to Thomas Nelson Publishing and NetGalley for giving me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review! These thoughts are entirely my own.**

I loved this book! The plot was amazing. I was hooked from the beginning, and I had such a hard time putting it down! The action was fast-paced, but not so much so that I couldn’t keep track of what was happening. I never would have guessed the twist at the end, either.

The characters were super interesting and compelling. Their relationships were deep and interesting to read about. I cared what happened to them, which was wonderful! The book is dual-POV, which I liked. The writing style was done well, so the different character perspectives felt distinct. And, I never would have known I Think I Was Murdered was written by two authors if I hadn’t seen it on the cover. The whole book is seamless, and you cannot tell that more than one person wrote it.

The exploration of Artificial Intelligence and its impacts on humanity and our emotions was so cool and so well-done. I LOVED reading about the AI, and also about some of the other technological items used in the novel.

My only complaint with this book is the Christian content. I loved what was there, but I wish there was a little bit more. It was mentioned so little that I was jarred whenever it was mentioned. I also wish it was a little bit deeper in theology.

However, I had such a fun time reading it, and I definitely recommend it!
