Product Information

As she digs into the mystery of the woman’s identity and death, Laura discovers that she was running from a deadly pursuer who now has Laura in his sights. Soon she begins to uncover long buried secrets from the past involving her own family and the reason why the father she loved left her in the year before he died. We get it, Cassie survived domestic abuse. I can tell that the author is trying to inform and make sure readers are aware that this happens in real life, but the way he repeats it throughout the book makes it feel like he is lecturing. Head to the Chaos Altar, with 15 chaos runes in your inventory. Entering the altar requires either a chaos talisman or tiara, or access to the Abyss. There are four ways to reach the altar: By using Surok's Letter on King Roald before delivering it to Rat, the player character and the king will have a conversation revolving around the king's inability to accept he is in danger. Over the course of my reading career, (passion, hobby!) I’ve come across some seriously bizarre characters. Folks, these two take home the grand prize!💁🏻♀️

Regardless of the plot being predictable, it’s in the details (of the charaters’ conditions, what’s happened to them in the last 25 years) that make the believability of the whole story rather low. It’s simply too convenient to be realistic. The top villain isn't that hard to figure out. I give more, but I'm not a spoiler 🤫 , but I wasn't clueless 🤷‍♂️in a short time. Former cellist Claire Spencer and her husband Norman, an accomplished scientist and professor, live a quiet life at their lakeside home in Vermont. Their relationship is strained, particularly after Claire's daughter, Caitlin, leaves for college. Claire notices their new neighbors, Mary and Warren Feur, have a volatile relationship and, after Mary is unseen for several days, suspects Warren may have killed her.Mother and daughter. There is no other relationship like it on the planet. At times it can be a fine line between love and hate. John Marrs molds this relationship, twists and weaves it into something that will positively leave you reeling! The norms we rely upon are very blunt, and the question is why would that be,” Yoeli says. “It’s such an odd thing, instead of norms being more sensitive to continuous variation.” First off, I could not bring myself to like any of the characters. They were all superficial constructs that had no depth or development and all of their relationships made no sense. Take Cassie and Scott. Why are they together? Nobody knows, but we're supposed to believe that this love of two teenagers was meant to be... for a while at least. Really, there are two reasons that Scott is in this story:

With more than half a million books sold to date, Adam Croft is one of the most successful independently published authors in the world, and one of the biggest selling authors of the past year. I could deal with some of the stereotypes no surprise stuff for a possible second read, but guys who grieve over a loved one and blame themself, but 'shags' just about any breathing female, Nah! Two timelines for a mystery murder story. Laura's friend's family, when they were both little girls, was murdered brutally. The friend was taken by relatives and that was the end of the relationship between the two girls.The ending, the last 10% - I was disappointed. Not too disappointed, not as disappointed as the last sentence - you CANNOT end a book with an open ending/cliffhanger, it is not a movie, you just cannot, please.. It felt like that time I was watching Lord Of the Rings on TV for like 3 + hours as a child (more like 4hrs with ads) and it just ended up being a part/installation of a story, not a complete standalone story. I was disappointed then and I am disappointed now. I really liked that passage because a) I instantly knew the magnetic material he was speaking of. Remember the Wooly Willy toys as kids? You would drag the iron fragments to the blank face to make eyebrows and a beard and whatnot. The liquid version of that was in tubes you could find at the museum gift shops or science magazines. I loved them, but moreover, I resonated with the description. Jagged edges pointing at anyone daring to come near, and they turn harshly to me too, hurting myself with my own stalactites. You got the most evilest characters, a couple of cops who are the usual basic crooked, sexist, racist 🥱🥱. So original 🤥. Recovering bodies, finding discarded remains, identifying unmarked graves and saving people from locations and situations too dangerous for the normal emergency services - all in a day's work for Peter Faulding. The storytelling is fantastic. It’s like a game of malevolent tennis as each retaliates to the actions of the other. The tension between the main characters is palpable and you feel like you are treading on the most delicate of eggshells. The secrets that Maggie and Nina are hiding are jaw dropping, eye popping, brain numbing, mind blowing and breath taking in their magnitude. You are not sure whose perspective is the truth and who is the deluded liar but that become clearer towards the end where we see just how huge a maternal sacrifice Maggie has made. It is terrifying in its power and we learn that one character has anger that is so intense it goes beyond blind rage. There is mystery and intrigue throughout and we gradually learn the horrors of what has been covered up and the lengths that some people will go to to exact mistaken revenge. The story unfolds really well and is full of twists and as revelation piles on top of mountainous revelation you find yourself utterly incapable of putting the book down. The conclusion is excellent and you feel like you’ve been through the wringer with these characters but at least you can breathe again!!

The entire case is solved as the murderer breaks into the DCI's house and leaves a confession letter (unsigned) his entire plan was to commit 2 murders (done) and then kill himself on that very night. The only reason he is caught is because he leaves this letter. There's no point to this, and the reasoning is that all of a sudden (after 3/4 of the book) he is now "playing a game" with the detective. This is never evident before this moment, but is mentioned about 4 times subsequently.

not the worst john marrs book ive read, but definitely not my favourite. i think i tend to prefer his sci-fi thrillers more than his psychological ones. Counterintuitively, modesty is also a signal,” says Erez Yoeli, a research scientist in the MIT Sloan School of Management and co-author of a new book explaining how game theory applies to everyday situations. “Things that at first seem irrational, once you dig a little and think about what is being signaled, and ask the right questions, become a lot less puzzling,” he says.
