A new author for me, this novel was lent by my reading friend Claire
Lucas Davenport has seen many terrible murder scenes. This is one of the worst. In the small Minnesota town of Wayzata, an entire family has been killed: —husband, wife, two daughters, dogs.
There'’s something about the scene that pokes at Lucas'’s cop instincts, —it looks an awful lot like the kind of scorched-earth retribution he'’s seen in drug killings sometimes. But this is a seriously upscale town, and the husband was an executive vice president at a big bank. It just doesn'’t seem to fit.
Until it does. And where it leads Lucas will take him into the darkest nightmare of his life.
A well stitched page-turner of a crime thriller.
............. and then again another kind of thriller is one of the books I needed to read for my book group, Splinter.
He Said, She Said by Erin Kelly
In the hushed aftermath of a total eclipse, Laura witnesses a brutal attack. She and her boyfriend Kit call the police, and in that moment, four lives change forever.
Fifteen years on, Laura and Kit live in fear.
And while Laura knows she was right to speak out, she also knows that you can never see the whole picture: something is always hidden . . . something she never could have guessed.
A cleverly spun plot with twists and a surprise in the closing pages. The kind of outcome that makes you think, I should have spotted this earlier.
