The Break Down

 


An excellent suspense!!  I searched out books by this author after reading Behind Closed Doors.  It did not disappoint. The story is about Cass who is having an incredibly hard time after learning that a new friend of hers has been murdered in her car—-and she had driven by her as she was pulled over on the side of the road during a rainstorm the night she was murdered.  Could she have prevented the murder?  Then Cass starts having a lot of memory issues —to the point of thinking no she may have the start of early onset dementia like her mom had,  and paranoia. She feels eyes on her. She starts getting constant hang up calls with the caller never saying anything.  This is all so life shattering to her that she is seen by a Dr and given pills to take the edge off except all that it does is knock her out which complicates her memory problems and credibility even more. 

Soooo many twists and turns towards the end as the story unfolds and we learn who killed her friend Jane, and also who’s been tormenting her with the phone calls.

The yellow wife

 This book is a realistic historical fiction based on some true content. Parts of it are very hard to listen to. Highlighted is definitely the ugly part of history.. The yellow wife concept is something I had no idea existed. When I think back to pre-revolutionary war, it’s kind of amazing that this happened.   I’m not sure I totally recommend the book. I definitely had to put it down several times. It did end in a mostly positive way.

Daughter of the Reich

  Highly. Recommend.  Definitely gave me similar vibes to Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale.  This story is told, however, from the perspective of the daughter to a top commanding Nazi officer, who also has his hands very deep into the paper/press/media. The official synopsis of the book is as follows (I’m copying and pasting because honestly it gives such a great overview!): She must choose between loyalty to her country or a love that could be her destruction… As the dutiful daughter of a high-ranking Nazi officer, Hetty Heinrich is keen to play her part in the glorious new Thousand Year Reich. But she never imagines that all she believes and knows will come into stark conflict when she encounters Walter, a Jewish friend from the past, who stirs dangerous feelings in her. Confused and conflicted, Hetty doesn’t know whom she can trust and where she can turn to, especially when she discovers that someone has been watching her. Realizing she is taking a huge risk—but unable...

Girl Last Seen

 Mystery/thriller that definitely keeps you guessing !!!  I constantly wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next.  As you could guess by the title it’s about two girls that go missing….13 years apart. The first girl was missing for 3 years but escapes her captor at age 13.  It’s then 10 years later where another 10 year old goes missing.  The first girl becomes obsessed with the case, and the book follows the twists and turns of a missing persons case.   Now….it was definitely good—like I said-/I wanted to constantly keep reading…yet I feel like afterwards I was still left with some questions that weren’t quite answered and nicely wrapped up with a little bow for me 🤣 That annoys me, not gonna lie.  It hey, maybe everything was answered and I was too dense to figure it all out….another very real possibility 🤣. Would still recommend!  3.8 of 5 (due to my unanswered questions)
