A new twist in You Will Remember Me

/ 2 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

I am currently reading You Will Remember Me by Hannah Mary McKinnon. Who doesn’t love an amnesia thriller and the excitement of unwrapping one layer after another of the patient’s story to find out who they really are and how they came to be there. It goes without saying that there are secrets, things that maybe even the sufferer does not want to remember. McKinnon does a masterful job of setting things up from the moment “Brad” wakes up on the beach with no memory of how he got there—or who he is. I am looking forward to finding out just what happened to bring him to that point.

Let this book take you Hostage

/ 2 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

This week I am reading Hostage, a novel by Clare Mackintosh. Lots of interesting characters with different backgrounds and secrets, a daughter on the ground in peril and hundreds of people up in the sky at the mercy of a hostage taker. The tension is building… it will be interesting to see how the main character manages to take control of the situation and—presumably—land the airplane!

I have just recently begun Friends Like These by Kimberly McCreight. You’ve heard this story before… friends who share a horrible secret gather for a weekend reunion. Trapped by a storm, something happens, and one of them is dead. It is up to the police/detective to sort out all of the misleading clues and lies, probe and tease out the mass of secrets covering secrets to get to the heart of the matter.

A chilly read: Cover of Snow

has an interesting premise. The main character’s husband (a policeman) commits suicide, and she is digging down, trying to understand why. It turns out there are a number of secrets hidden in the past, and at this point (more than halfway through the book) there are many indicators of a police coverup and conspiracy to keep her from finding anything out.

Finding out What She Knew

/ 2 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

This week I am reading What She Knew by Gilly Macmillan. I don’t think I’ve read anything else by this author, but I would definitely read another. It has been a good read so far.

The “she” in the title refers to Rachel Jenner, a mom who is out walking in the woods with her son one day when he disappears, apparently kidnapped. It is a good police procedural/psychological suspense novel. Multiple perspectives, you get to see things from the mother’s point of view and the lead investigator’s, as they are both looking back on what happened.

In suspense with Mother May I

/ 3 minutes of reading / 1 Comment

Looking over what I have read recently, I have picked out Mother May I, by Joshilyn Jackson. This book will require you to suspend disbelief to a certain degree. I had a hard time believing that someone would behave the way that the protagonist mother did in this book, but if you can get past that, there are plenty of chills and thrills in this one.
