J.G Hetherton deserves ALLLL the flowers for his beautiful writing. WOW. He is a true writer; an artist with words. He could take the mundane and describe it in ways I've never considered. I can't say enough good things about the writing quality of this novel. Hetherton is truly talented. We only have Maggie and Nina to suspect. So, it’s either one of them is the bad guy or both of them are. That took the fun away from me. Especially since with each neatly placed clue, (if you’re clever enough to notice them) you can guess the who. After finishing the book and giving myself a night to think over what to write, I must admit, some characters felt a little rushed to be finished? I do not know how to describe it, but it left me wanting for a bit more. I would like to thank @netgalley and Crooked Lane Books for sending me an advance copy of “What Lies Beneath” by J. G. Heatherton. This is the second in a series with the reporter Laura Chambers as protagonist. I have not read the first book in the series, but this book builds on the hostility Laura suffers from the sheriff’s office in the wake of her apparent responsibility for the death of a well-liked police officer. The book opens with the death of a fleeing girl who called Laura just minutes before the girl was killed. Laura failed to take the call—and she fails to recognize the girl, whose face is too mutilated for recognition. It is only when Laura finds a photograph of her father, herself, and a little girl that she had thought was a false memory that Laura begins to remember some of the shadows in her family’s past.

John Marrs books keep getting progressively better. I LOVED this one. At one point I was getting so worked up reading it that I found myself clutching my Kindle and I had the image of me as the teacher from the movie A Christmas Story who is so deliriously happy with what she's reading that she circles the classroom writing A+ A+ A+ A+..... on all the walls. I also thought that things really worked for me when Laura was partnered up with FBI Agent Timinski. There was a certain energy to the story when these two characters were together that left me wanting more of their story.

Success!

The deeply flawed but intrepid Laura Chambers, from the "dark and vivid rabbit hole" (David Bell) of a thriller Last Girl Gone, finds herself lost in the deadly webs of small town secrets as she hunts for the truth about her father, who mysteriously disappeared several years ago. And sweet Nina, at the end of her thirties, librarian is guardian and judge of her own mother’s slow punishment and execution. Discover the truth beyond the police tape in What Lies Beneath, the arresting memoir of murder, investigation and justice from Peter Faulding, a world-leading forensic search expert.

Peter gives new details on some of the country's most harrowing murder cases - including that of serial killer Peter Tobin, the Nicola Payne case and the Helen McCourt murder; sheds new light on mysterious deaths, including MI6 worker Gareth Williams; and details the incredible lengths he goes to when helping investigators. Some of the twists are guessable if you read between the li(n)es but most took me completely by surprise. The ending was hard to stomach but also brilliant. 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: Sixty-eight-year old, Maggie spends her days in the attic watching her neighbors going about their lives. To them, she doesn't exist. As Maggie watches, she notices things that no one else does. She’s the first to notice when Mr. Steadman’s curtains stop opening and his mail and newspapers start piling up. Fast forward a few months and their relationship changes to becoming an abusive relationship. My issue here is that there is not enough of a case that is building up. In most domestic violence cases, the victim was not only physically abused. But the aggressor usually makes the victim completely dependent on them and also mentally manipulates the victim, so that when they become physically abusive, it is the victim's fault and they truly cannot leave. They are so bound to their abuser, that leaving is impossible. In the case of Mike and Cassie there was no such manipulation. Mike becomes distant and stressed. Cassie plays housewife. One night they argue and then he hits her. That's it. Cassie holds no grudge, doesn't protest and brushes it off like it's no big deal. This goes on for some time, and while I really did try to feel sympathy for Cassie, I could only be annoyed at her stupidity!Thus, people who do not bring up wealth-signaling attributes are signaling that they have a wealth of attributes, says Moshe Hoffman, Yoeli’s co-author. Also, who leaves a head-on-the-table-banging-until-bleeding death row inmate with nothing to lose unsupervised with a reporter? Was it just me who did not buy it? Anyone?

Forget sleep. Forget everything. No one will pry this book out of your hands until the lastdiabolicaltwist.” They’re basically saying, ‘I’m willing to bury some information about me, and I’m confident I’ve got enough good attributes that somebody will uncover them,’” Hoffman says. “By not mentioning their credentials, they’re signaling that they’re not looking for a superficial interaction with somebody who is impressed with that one thing, and they don’t need that thing to impress you.” You got the most evilest characters, a couple of cops who are the usual basic crooked, sexist, racist 🥱🥱. So original 🤥.

Game theory is just a math toolkit for analyzing a situation where the right move for me depends on what’s the right move for you, and where the right move is for you depends on what’s the right move for me,” Yoeli says. “All of the different models we use have that feature.”

If you are a fan of John Marrs...and seriously, how can you not be!? Don’t miss this latest release! Everyone will be chatting this one up over the summer! They already are! Like so many others I love discovering new crime series and select them randomly without knowing much about the author. Reading through this book, I had assumed this was a brand new author finding their way, so was surprised to see how successful Adam was when i reached the end. He is clearly an accomplished writer, so either this is an outlier or his books just aren't for me. In short this is very poor.Last Girl Gone isone of the most surefooted, accomplished debut thrillersI’ve read in ages. Readers are going to fall hard for J. G. Hetherton.” It would be nice if the police were involved. Not only would it spice things up for me, I think it would also up the stakes and help with the far fetchedness so that the mystery could unwrap a little less conveniently. Claire believes she sees a woman's body in the lake, and senses an unseen presence in the house. A framed article about Norman falls off his desk and shatters, leading Claire to discover an odd key inside a vent. She finds her bathtub mysteriously filled, and sees another woman's reflection in the water. Confiding in a psychiatrist, Claire and her mystic friend, Jody, hold a failed séance. She finds the bathtub filled again with the message "You know" written on the steamy mirror, while her computer inexplicably types the initials "MEF". Warning ... there is a cliff hanger. The good news is that Book 2 will be available in a few short months.
