Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 
Review: 
This is a difficult book for me to review. While I enjoyed the twist and the turns along the way if I had just listened to the audio I would not have been able to keep up. But this book definitely deserves a read or listen!
Let's start with one of the main characters Nadja.  When Nadja was 15 she was accused of killing her mother, while she doesn't believe it was her that it was one of her mother's "friends". However, this follows her all along with her life and haunts her even in her letters to her brother that she has not seen in over 20 years.
Now we have Laura, who is Nadja's friend and she's in trouble BIG trouble. She was having an affair with her husband's friend, but the main trouble is that she murdered her lover and she didn't know what to do with the body. Now, how the two mixes on this journey to get rid of the body by Laura shows up to the office Nadja is working at asking if Gero was back yet. Gero is Laura's husband, but he is also Nadja's employer. Remembering the kindness that Laura had given her when Nadja first started at Gero's firm, Nadja agrees to help her friend.
So while this story is unfolding in the chapters there is also the story about Paul who is having an ongoing affair with Nelly. That is until Nelly shows up at Paul's family home and when Paul tells Nelly to leave it's like a slap in the face for her. Nelly believed all of Paul's lies about leaving his family for her but then Nelly is found dead and Paul is the number one suspect.
So while all this is twisting and unfolding, the reader is also getting a glimpse into the past of Nadja and the story ones I figured out who was who is really amazing!
While I listened to the audiobook I used the book a bit when I was trying to figure out everything. Once I got everything figured out it was amazing, the audiobook was great and the narrator was amazing! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves twisting tales! Thank you Flat Iron Books, Netgalley, and Macmillian Audio for the opportunity to read and review this one! Look out for this story in October!

Title: The Golden Couple  Author: Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen  Expected Publication: March 8, 2022 Publisher: St. Martin's Press  Genre: Mystery/ Thriller  Pages: 336 pages  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review:  OMG This is one that I was really enthusiastic to read because I have loved EVERYTHING that these two authors have written and just a little secret (they didn't let me down! I was glued to my kindle the last 40% of the book!) Marissa Bishop sought out Avery Chambers to help her with her marriage. Marissa had a fling and she wanted to tell her husband in a controlled environment, where she and he could work out their differences and heal their marriage. Avery is just the unorthodox therapist to do this, see she only takes clients that she can help in 10 visits because she has a system that works. So while they work through her program they can be in a different place than when they first came to see her. So, while it seems that the Bishops are getting through their

My Review of The Shadow Man by Helen Fields

Title: The Shadow Man  Author: Helen Fields  Expected Publishing Date: Feb. 4, 2021 Published by: Avon Books UK  Genre: Mystery/ Thriller  Pages 400 pages  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5  Review:  This is a different kind of thriller/horror book. An American profiler and psychologist is called in to help aid when a high profile abduction of Elspeth occurs after a murder of a similiar woman. Along with Detective Baarda she and he follow the abductions of a 12 year old child and of a parapalegic man. Trying to figure out the end game is all they can try to do and the twist and the turns of the case is absolutely horrifying. Fergus abducts them all to try to create the family he never had, not long after his introduction the reader can realize that he is not only physically but also mentally sick. He is so sick and twisted it's not even funny. This book follows the investigation and also gives an insight into Fergus's mind, and what an adventure that was. I definitely recommend this b
