Kept My InterestThis book wasn’t “can’t put it down, must keep reading” great but it did keep my interest and the story took some interesting turns that a) made sense for the book and b) weren’t clumsy mechanisms to move along the plot. The characters are reasonably well-developed and flawed in their own way. Overall, a good read but not a great read - good for when you’re on vacation or traveling as you can pick it up and put it down easily without losing track of what was happening.
The first M J Hardy book I’ve read and hopefully not the last. Whilst the plot requires some suspension of disbelief, it’s a great story, well told. I particularly liked the way the author skilfully used the individual characters point of view to move the tale along. A thoroughly enjoyable book that was difficult to put down.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
3 ⭐⭐⭐ - OK decent reads.========================You travel on a train full of crazy people and you don't know which station you're going to get off at. But hook the reader.
I could not put this book down unless I was sleeping and could not keep my eyes open any longer. Every chapter was a new twist on the story and the story kept getting better with each chapter. The characters were likeable and I felt like I was really inside their heads at times. One of the best psychological thrillers I've read this year and I read a few a week. Can't wait for this author's next book.
I really tried to get into this book but it was hard going. Too many sentences beginning with "She laughed" or "She looked at her with interest" (often not even a paragraph apart) had me ready to throw my Kindle across the room. I'll try the Girl on Gander's Green and hopefully the writing will sparkle a little more.
Five stars!I decided to read this book on a whim. Have not read the author before.So glad I did! Was not sure where it was going at first, but could not put it down. Finished it in a day. A little soap opery ( is that a word?) but enjoyable and suspenseful.Now I will check out "The Girl on Gander Green Lane" and some of her other books. Recommend!
Two couples both with their own set of problems, one teacher inserting herself into their lives outside of their children's classroom. A whole slew of new problems are cropping up. An enjoyable, dramatic, suspenseful read.
Never GuessedIf Alfred Hitchcock and Jacqueline Suzanne had a baby, this book would be it (you have to be older to get this reference). Suspense, Betrayal, secrets and lies are throughout this story that will keep you guessing. My only issue is that a central character doesn't know what we know at the end.
every character was either wet, pathetic or unhinged - or a combo of the threesaw the twist coming a mile off and the reveal was extremely pantomime villaini really disliked the "if i had known what i know now, i would have..." lines, does not heighten the tension, just makes the characters even less three-dimensional
Wow! Just wow!I never saw that coming..... that was what was going through my thoughts as I read. And there were a lot of those moments in this book. The intertwining of the characters is one of the things that makes this story so intriguing. You must read this book....I highly recommend this suspenseful thriller!!!!
Interesting story lineI really enjoyed this book. The first one by this author, i was gripped from the beginning and liked all the characters and had no idea it was going to end that way. However I feel it ended very abruptly and rushed. It was almost as though the story wasn't going anywhere so decided to through a twist into the mix for a thrill. Not overly happy with the end but still, I enjoyed it.
What a very interesting novel so many twists and turns to keep you hooked in the book from the start, the thought process in constructing Isabel is amazing to think that there are people out there who live different lives is brought very much to the forefront in this book, an amazing read well done M.J.Hardy
This is the 2nd book I've read written by M.J. Hardy; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.I loved the characters.I received a free copy of this book via booksprout and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.
