Mrs.Olie

5🌟 a great story about the 1950s deep south. The fight for equal rights and the struggle of 2 sisters to be better than the discrimination based on the color of their skin, and the murder of white man in their fight for survival.

4.5🌟 I love a good who done it murder mystery dinner. This had me thinking every character was it. One of my favorite Canadian authors #Shari lapena

3🌟 I feel awful to give this a low rating. I've been excited to read it since I pre-ordered it in January. But unfortunately the truth is, it's not a great story, felt forced, I was bored but because I was so excited I pushed through it. Book 1 of the series was really good. Book 2 was still ok. But this one, nope.

5🌟 A very good read. "We see only what we want to see". This book captures the downfall of a heinous secret of betrayal, karma and a twist that you will never see coming. A definite read.

5🌟 this book starts with a crime similar to Jon Bonnet Ramsey, and the ending leaves you with answers but feeling unresolved. Author Flowers, what happened to Margot? Luke? The murderer? So many more questions. I need a moment to let go of my anger. Such a good read though.

5🌟 a great story about young love. Also a great message to never judge a person by the outside, they may be as broken as you are on the inside.

5🌟 this book is so good that I read it in less than 1 day. It grips you from the start and has you guessing who the murderer is until the end. It's not who you think it is 🤐. #sharilapena an amazing author who never disappoints. Her books are all absolutely amazing.

3🌟 I am so disappointed with this book. It started off really good, and then slowly it started to underwhelmed me. The ending was disappointing.

3🌟 Although it is a good story line, it is not very well written. Some parts were rushed, no elaboration, and then it just ended, and here is an epilogue. 3🌟 for effort.

5🌟 I have not cried while reading a book in a very long time. It's heart wrenching, and crushing. Trigger warning ⚠️ speaks about pedophilia, suicide, and medically assisted dying.

5🌟 trigger warning ⚠️ contains conversation about child sexual abuse/rape, self harm and suicide. This book is absolutely amazing and well written. It is a very tough topic to read, and I thought of stopping as it was tough to read; bit I am so glad I continued. Not only does the author write about the abuse, but how the psyche copes through such traumatic events to protect us. But with help, professional help, it is possible to not overcome the trauma or forget about it, instead to learn how to properly cope with the events and realize that it is possible to continue living. Standing ovation for this book.

4🌟 a nice, light and airy, quick summer read. Trigger warning ⚠️ discusses suicide and the effects it has on families and friends, and the thought of the victims. Otherwise, a good quick read.

4🌟 great story and I really loved the pictures. This is a great read with twists. The photos do tell the story, of a murder and ghost seeking peace.

4 🌟 this was a fun read. It's like big brother, but with very dangerous weapons used. A good quick read and palate cleanser after reading so many psychological thrillers.

4.5 🌟 I great quick read. I really enjoyed the plot. There is enough detail to have you connect with the characters, but not to where it feels like the story is dragging on.

When the cover of a book feels nicer to touch than with the book cover 💝 already half way through this beauty. I must say if you like textured book covers, etc. This book feels so nice to touch.

5🌟 a great book. Book 3 of 3. By page 500 I will admit, reading over 1200 pages in a week was becoming exhausting. But in the end I am excited to see how this turns out as a film; the author has revealed that this series is being turned into a movie. At the same time, the book version is always better than the film. The author will have you turn on everyone, and make you believe everyone is in on it; but the last 50 pages will have you screaming. When justice is not really justice, because the truth you believe is not the actual truth and now you have ruined 100s of lives. I am seriously mad at Bishop. 😡
