This one sat on my shelf for a while, and I struggled to pick it up, but I should have started it the day I received it since so far it’s in my top three books published in 2020! This book begins in 1947, when Janey Everett, war photojournalist confronts Irene Lindquist (aka Irene Foster) in Hawaii, a famous pilot who went missing on an around-the-world flight. Janey is writing a book about Sam Mallory … Read More “Her Last Flight by Beatriz Williams” »

Doctor, heal thyself. Erin Cartwright is a psychiatrist at a hospital for girls who has her own troubled past. Now, the past that she has tried so hard to hide and ignore has caught up with her during a criminal case that she has been asked to advise on.

On … Read More “Night. Sleep. Death. The Stars. by Joyce Carol Oates” »
This debut suspense/thriller novel has so many twists and turns, it’s hard to figure out what’s coming next, let alone what the final twist will be. Overall, it was a fun read and did a great job in not following the cookie cutter outline of so many thrillers out there right now. Lucy King takes her dog along with a few important possessions and flees from her abusive boyfriend in Brooklyn to a small cabin … Read More “All the Broken People by Leah Konen” »
