The police arrest Tate, but she claims her innocence. She thinks her lawyer doesn't believe her.
I was hooked from the start. The way everything unfolds is a little different from most revenge type novels. A lot of secrets and motivations will surface and some shocked me.
I really enjoyed some of the surprising twists and turns. There is a bit of repetition in events though, and one major EYE ROLL! Still a good, entertaining revenge tale that is served chilled! If you like this kind of tale, add it for 2024.
Thanks NG for my ARC! This one is out January 16, 2024...more

Who will survive the night?
Mindless entertainment, be prepared for some wilder than wild behaviors that make this far-fetched, and gives it a feeling of Alice, (or Amy in this case) in Wonderland, falling into a rabbit hole of fantasy, but in the Psych Ward!
Amy is a medical student and is walking on pins and needles as patients yell "Let me out of here" and sing out tunes like "If your happy and you know it take your meds" , one even gives her a knitting needle (for her own safety). But they did give her the exit code, right??
For me this one is (more silly than serious) with some pretty animated characters. The Mad Hatter could be possibly in for the night, or Spider Man may make an appearance!...more
Ernest Cunningham returns in book two with another clever metafiction mystery.
I really enjoyed the train/locked room setting and set-up of a 50th AusErnest Cunningham returns in book two with another clever metafiction mystery.
I really enjoyed the train/locked room setting and set-up of a 50th Australian Mystery Writers Society festival. The train is packed with the who's who of crime writers ( 7 in all, including Ernest).
I thought the premise was fun, but with so many characters and discussion about who the murderer was, who had motive, who had opportunity, misdirection, etc AND Ernest's commentary on every situation, it became a lot of work! I was more in the mood to just read and follow some crumbs.
I wanted to finish and find out who the murderer was, but wasn't in a hurry to flip any of the pages to get there. I will read the next, but hope the author goes for "less is more" as this one was a bit drawn out.
I wanted to give this author another try after giving her last, Wrong Place Wrong Time three stars.

I wanted to give this author another try after giving her last, Wrong Place Wrong Time three stars.
I thought it was a good police procedural, but moves a bit slow in the first half. Some unexpected twists and turns kept me reading because of my curiousity of what would happen next. The problem was that the author gets wordy and a little repetitive which had me skimming some of the fluff! ...more

She is there to do her best and serve patients, oops, I mean patrons. You see, she is a former nurse, currently running from her past. She also has a few screws loose! She is big on cliches, an expert story spinner, reading a Shirley Jackson (shout-out) and may even have a few souveniers from her hospital days. ...more

I had the book and the audio, but was super disappointed. So much so, that I didn't even bother to read the last story. I made it to 60% and didn't feel like wasting any more reading time.
The first story featured Jake Brigance, who is a character in his series and I've read a few of them. The beginning hooked me, but nothing much happened and the ending felt unfinished. ...more

"It's happening," said Naomi. "And you're not going to let me down".
And here we go...
I simply could not resist this Strangers On A Train premise! "It's happening," said Naomi. "And you're not going to let me down".
And here we go...
I simply could not resist this Strangers On A Train premise! Murder swap anyone?!
Amanda and Wendy come up with the perfect plan. These two strangers were brought together by chance, both suffering enormous loss. They are broken and want justice for their loved ones.
You won't believe just how far they are willing to go!
It took a bit for me to get into this one, but once it got going, I had a hard time putting it down. Each POV chapter ending on a cliff that begged for one more chapter, the need to know what would come next!
The author gets a little wordy, overly describing things like what a character sees first in the supermarket (and lists it), etc. I got used to it though and the suspense totally hooked me.
The last twist was memorable! A bit of a JOLT that gave me some chills as I stared at the last page! Oh Mr. Blue Eyes I have questions for you!
If you don't mind some brow raising coincidences, this one is a wild, tension filled ride.
