This book was very intriguing! From sex, lies, betrayal, murder & suspense! This book was great and has you hanging off the edge of your seat until the very end!

I really enjoyed the perspective from multiple points of view and the investigations!

Thank you Laura Snider, Severn River Publishing, & NetGalley for allowing me to read this amazing book!

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to read this ARC, and it pulled me in from the prologue when a body was found mutilated in a pig pen.

The story is told from alternating perspectives, starting with Tyrone Gully, the detective who is looking to make a name for himself in rural Iowa, so he can return to the Chicago PD as a detective. Tyrone is searching for the murderer of Molly Sand, the young, beautiful wife of the town’s mogul Frank Sand. Not only is Frank completely full of himself, he’s also cheating on Molly, who is also his fifth wife. The story includes perspectives from Molly and Frank… and also, Frank’s lawyer, Angel, who he visits to take care of a settlement with his first wife and to begin divorce proceedings with Molly.

This story was full of twists and turns that I did not see coming. It is one of the best thrillers I’ve read in a long time. I would love to read another book featuring Detective Tyrone Gully!

I was sucked in from the prologue! What a great opening! This book truly kept me guessing until the very end. I really enjoyed the multiple POVs as well as the dual timelines. My only negative would be the ending felt very abrupt. Overall a quick and enjoyable read.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Sex, lies, murder, and betrayal! A solid domestic thriller with a very satisfying ending. I actually didn't see that ending coming it all!

Molly Sand is trapped in a terrible marriage with no way out until she is found eaten by a local farmers' pig. Molly's husband Frank is the main suspect, but they have very little evidence to go on. Told through multiple POVs in the past and present, we learn the truth about the Sand's marriage, along with all the other characters. If you love a fast-paced thriller with short chapters and lots of drama, this one is definitely for you!

Marriage. Secrets. Betrayal. Molly Sand Must Die. Trapped in a suffocating marriage, Molly Sand's life is spiraling into chaos. With her controlling husband's grip tightening, she is desperate to break free and escape with her children. But beneath her fragile facade, a fire burns, fueling her overwhelming urge to shed the realities of her current life...even if it means descending into the darkest recesses of her psyche!
Good book! I definitely enjoyed reading this one! I wasn’t too sure about this book but I’m glad I followed through! It was a great read! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

The beginning feels a tiny bit repetitive but that farther I got into the book the less I wanted to set it down. So many suspects, all with their own motives. Usually I'm not too fond of so many characters but the author did an amazing job at fleshing them out. I also loved that the titular character was not the perfect victim. Her miserable existence was undeserved but I'm tired of saints and Mary Sues, Molly's flaws and mistakes made her feel real.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Netgalley and Severn River Publishing for giving me ARC in exchange for my honest review. I loved this book! It was gripping from the start. All of the characters are very well portrayed even though there wasn’t much detailed descriptions characters were attractive enough to keep you guessing throughout the book. And the plot twists oh my goodness they were amazing! I couldn’t guess it even at the end. It was an easy read, you can even read it in one sitting honestly because it hooks you! Definitely recommend for anyone who loves thriller

This was a thrilling read. There was such depth to the characters and the story unfolded in a way that you kept thinking something else but the author did a great job of keeping the suspense until the end.
I don’t want to give away spoilers but this was a page turner throughout the entire book.

This is such a hard book to review without spoilers! Infidelity, lies, abuse, secrets, revenge, spiteful ex wives and a small connected town is what you are in for with this fast paced twisted thriller.

The characters and circumstances in this novel are real. Women have to make big decisions regarding the safety of themselves and their children- but to what cost?

For me this is a must read !

We find out right away that Molly Sand has been murdered. Was it her abusive husband or his awful lawyer or? A somewhat twisty but somewhat predictable story, yes both can be true. The writing style wasn't for me. I like more realistic people and most of the characters didn't ring true to me. Maybe it was supposed to be a satire, not sure

Thank you to NetGalley and Severn River Publishing for an ARC of Molly Sand Must Die.

This was a quick and easy read that I loved was set in my home state of Iowa (where the author is also from). I loved to hate the antagonists of the story but I really didn't really feel a connection to any of the protagonist characters. I guessed the ending quite early in the book and I think many experienced readers in this genre will be able to do the same. Overall, not a bad read but a bit too much of a "popcorn thriller" for my liking.

3 stars.

Molly Sand Must Die” had me hooked from the prologue. It has:
🗂️Multiple POVs
🗂️Dual Timelines
🗂️Infidelity
🗂️Police investigation

When I say I couldn’t put this book down I mean I could not stop devouring it.I finished it in a day. If you are looking for a quick read that will grasp your attention and not let go until the end, add this to your TBR ASAP!

Thank you NetGalley, Severn River Publishing, and Laura Snider for this Digital ARC.

***Possible trigger warnings- Domestic Abuse, Verbal Abuse, Body Shaming***

Thanks to Severn River Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC. My first book by this author and I will read again. A fun-ish domestic thriller that was quick and easy to read. Recommend!

A good, quick read with a great plot line. The story is told by the female main characters who are completely different but whose lives are dangerously connected. Ultimately, their paths converge explosively in this highly charged plot!!
Thank you to the publisher for the opportunity to read this advanced copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Yes! I love a good, twisty mystery. The prologue of this book instantly sucked me in and kept me guessing nearly to the last page. There was a point where I was questioning Molly's motives and what actually happened but I love the way this book ended. There is no doubt that Mike and Frank are both trash and I think justice was served to each in their own way. Angel is ruthless and I love her. Poor Molly, I can't imagine having to live with Frank and have every detail of my day dictated to me and telling me I'm old, fat and ugly at 26 what an absolute pile of garbage he is.

This is a must read thriller/mystery that was hard to put down once I picked it up!

Thank you NetGalley and Severn River Publishing for access to the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book grabbed me from the first line.

The dual timeline with multiple character perspectives made it easy to read on and tell myself that I’d read “just one more chapter.” (It was always more than one.)

While there was some predictability, that is to be expected with the abundance of novels in this genre (my favorite to read). However, the many unexpected twists and turns countered the predictable parts to keep me engaged.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book for my honest review.

I really enjoyed the story. It was a great read and it kept me entertained until the very end. Pick this book up and publication day. You won’t be sorry.

You have Molly Sand whose life is spiraling and then Angel Malone an attorney whose own marriage is falling apart. This was a great thriller and while I will not give it away, poor Molly. There are lots of secrets and betrayals and you will want to keep reading to know what will happen next.

⭐️⭐️⭐️3.8 Pig Pen filled stars

The prologue of this book stuck its tendrils into me and gripped me so dang tight it hurt so be sure to add this to your TBR ASAP !!

“They’d nearly eaten it all, but there were chunks of hair , long hair, possibly from a woman, and blood everywhere. Buckets of it. It flowed out of the pen like a river of death.”
