3.5 stars. This was an okay suspense read. I do feel as though everything worked out a little too perfectly when constructing the story.

Guess Again by Charlie Donlea Fascinating, fast paced, intense with interesting characters, convoluted murders and motives. Did not see the ending coming and was shocked. A picture really does paint a thousand words. Engrossing and entertaining read.
Thank you to Charlie Donlea, Kensington Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

Guess Again by Charlie Donlea is an absolute rollercoaster of a thriller that had me hooked from the first page. Ethan Hall is a former detective turned ER doctor, who wants nothing to do with his past until a cold case from his hometown drags him back in. Callie Jones vanished without a trace years ago, and now Ethan is tangled in a mystery that’s way more dangerous than he expected. As he digs deeper, he turns to an unlikely and super sketchy source, a convicted inmate who might have the key to unlocking the truth. The author nails the suspense by combining dark secrets, eerie small town vibes, and crazy twists!
