What She Did by Lauren Dykovitz

What She Did is Lauren Dykovitz’s latest book. And she’s another new-to-me author.

Blurb

Liz has been watching the neighbors. One of them has noticed.

Liz McAdams knows a lot about her neighbors. Recently divorced, with time on her hands, she amuses herself by observing them as she walks her dog past their houses. And no life looks more wonderful than Sabrina Thompson’s. Beautiful, wealthy, married to a gorgeous husband, Sabrina seems to have it all.

But one day Liz sees something through Sabrina’s bedroom window – something that could blow her seemingly perfect marriage apart.
Liz is shocked and intrigued. She herself has always played by the rules and now she can’t help envying Sabrina’s reckless abandon as she risks everything for her own pleasure.

Fascinated, she starts to watch Sabrina’s every move. And soon realizes that her glamorous neighbor has some very dark secrets.

Then there is a chilling murder on this affluent street, and Liz wonders if Sabrina could be involved. Even more disturbing, Sabrina seems to have noticed that Liz has been shadowing her.

Leaving Liz with two terrifying questions – Is Sabrina a killer?

And what might she do to the woman who knows too much?

My Review

This book was a fairly easy read, told in alternating points of view from Sabrina, an unhappily married woman, and Liz, a recently divorced woman.

The only cringe-worthy bit about the book was the way Sabrina talked about her husband, Gavin (Gavey-poo), and another man, Ben (Benny-boo). But for Sabrina, that was totally in character for her.

The book left me wondering what would happen and to whom, but I didn’t see that last twist coming.

Overall, it was a good read.

I Remember You by Theo Baxter

Today, I’m welcoming back author Theo Baxter whose latest book, I Remember You, I’ve just finished reading. Scroll on down and find out  what I thought.

Blurb

The perfect life…Or the perfect lie?

Two years ago, Aria West woke up in hospital with a severe head injury and no recollection of her previous life.

Now, she’s a successful sculptor, living in a remote cabin in upstate New York with her husband, Austin. Despite everything that’s happened, she’s living a good life. A peaceful life.

Except for the recurring nightmares – terrifying fragments of the trauma that led to her memory loss. Fragments that do not match Austin’s account of that fateful day.

As his behavior grows increasingly erratic, Aria becomes convinced her husband is hiding something sinister. To feel safe in the future, she knows she has to uncover the truth about the past—

But getting her memory back won’t be easy. Especially when someone will do anything to stop that from happening…

My Review

Having read other books by this author, I jumped at the chance to read this one. Wow! There are so many twists. Aria suffers from retrograde amnesia, so any memories before the accident are wiped from her mind. Still, a disturbing nightmare keeps her awake at night.

Is her devoted husband all he claims to be? She finds solace in her studio where she works with clay and other mediums.

When she decides to seek help away from home … well, that’s where even more twists come into the mix.

I’ll watch for more books by Theo Baxter.

I’m pleased to be part of the book tour for Her Mother’s Daughter by Brian O’Rourke.

Blurb

Amanda writes dark fiction. Now one fan is bringing her work to life.

Amanda is enjoying her life – she’s a successful author who has finally managed to give up her day job.

But then an ex-colleague is murdered in an exact reenactment of a killing from one of Amanda’s books. Even worse, Amanda had publicly quarreled with the dead woman and now finds herself a person of interest to the police.

Then it happens a second time. Another person with whom Amanda had publicly fought is murdered. And again, the method used to kill is lifted straight from the pages of one of her books.

It’s clear that someone is out to get Amanda. But who? And why?

With the police seeing her as the prime suspect, Amanda is desperate to discover the person behind these grisly killings.

As she digs for the truth, Amanda is forced to look into her own family’s troubled past, where she uncovers a web of secrets and lies far more shocking than anything she has ever written…

Her Mother’s Daughter – the chilling psychological thriller from the best-selling author of The New Husband and The Only Son.

My Review

This book hooked me on page one and didn’t let go. Amanda, a crime novelist, has a painful past. Her mother has been running for years to avoid being captured and tried for murder. Now, people known to Amanda are being murdered and posed to match scenes in her crime novels. The murderer could be almost anyone. Her neighbour/best friend? Her fugitive mother? Her ex-boyfriend? The list of suspects is long, and the author kept me guessing right until he was ready to reveal who was behind these bizarre murders.

This is the first book I’ve read by Brian O’Rourke, and it certainly won’t be my last.
