Quite an interesting story. Caroline, a successful professor suddenly discovers that she has a bullet lodged deep in the back of her neck. At 34 years old Caroline is only now finding out something about her childhood. She was adopted after her parents were murdered and the bullet that killed her mother is the one still in Caroline. Now with forensics and police work,can the murderer be found.
Although an interesting idea, I was left with more questions after reading.

The Bullet by Mary Louise Kelly is a fast-paced, twisty-turny thriller that has you guessing until the very last moment.

Caroline Cashion has just found out a massive secret; one that will irrevocably change her life. But with this secret comes a feeling of responsibility, a feeling of aching sadness, and a need for justice. And all it took was one little bullet.

Mary Louise Kelly has created a very likeable protagonist in Caroline Cashion. Even though she is dealing with some very heavy and life altering issues she doesn’t come across as whiny or over dramatic which is certainly a way she could have been written, however, you find yourself rooting for the justice that Caroline seeks.

The Bullet is an enjoyable read. Personally, for me, the ending became a little farcical but saying that I am not too sure where else Kelly could have taken the narrative.

Overall it is a well researched, well written and deeply enjoyable story.

The Bullet by Mary Louise Kelly is available now.

The premise of this book was so interesting to me and it kept me enthralled and wanting to know more the entire book. It was definitely a wild ride to a destination I didn't quite expect.

A decent thriller to pass a rainy day. This follows 37-yr old Caroline who has a MRI scan an discovers a bullet lodged, but she doesn't remember being shot at. She investigates and discovers that her biological parents were killed and an attempt was made on her life, too. Thus begins the chase to hunt down the killer who murdered her family thirty years ago...
This wasn't a bad read, but it was far fetched at times and the character acts inconsistently at times, so do suspend your disbelief. It's a fun, popcorn read.

Couldn't review this, I found it hard to get into and in my mind hard to follow, There's a lot of narration and then suddenly jumping full of action, I found it off putting in my staying power to read. I don't usually give up on books, but this time I just needed to. I am really sorry
