TASHA 5-STARRED THIS ONE! MISSING GIRL RETURNS YEARS LATER…

“...But something is not right with Ellie. She won’t say where she’s been, or who she’s protecting, and it’s up to Chelsey to find the answers. She needs to get to the bottom of what happened to Ellie: for herself, and for the memory of her sister, but mostly for the next girl who could be taken—and who, unlike Ellie, might never return…“

Tasha J: I 5⭐️’d it. 😉 But, I have reader amnesia here for all of these….

Tasha J: A recent favorite read of mine was Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera. I practically inhaled it.

“What if you thought you murdered your best friend? And if everyone else thought so too? And what if the truth doesn’t matter?

…But now the phenomenally huge hit true crime podcast “Listen for the Lie,” and its too-good looking host Ben Owens, have decided to investigate Savvy’s murder for the show’s second season. Lucy is forced to return to the place she vowed never to set foot in again to solve her friend’s murder, even if she is the one that did it. The truth is out there, if we just listen.”

PSYCH-THRILLER READER RECOMMENDATION (on Tasha J’s recommendation list)!! EVERYONE THINKS SHE KILLED HER FAMILY…

“…Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope’s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred.

It’s now 1983, and home-health aide Kit McDeere arrives at a decaying Hope’s End to care for Lenora after her previous nurse fled in the middle of the night. In her seventies and confined to a wheelchair, Lenora was rendered mute by a series of strokes and can only communicate with Kit by tapping out sentences on an old typewriter. One night, Lenora uses it to make a tantalizing offer—I want to tell you everything…”

Tasha J: I know I always see people who love his work or hate it, but it’s fun for me. Lol

THEY BURIED A SECRET BY LYING TO THE POLICE… Is it better to believe a lovely lie or to know the horrible truth?

“...Twenty-two years later, Scarlett has buried that deadly incident deep in her mind and built a comfortable life for herself, working in a hotel on the west coast of Florida and raising her teenage son with her husband Vince. Her peace is disrupted, however, when Pepper’s daughter shows up with news of Pepper’s death.

Zoey is twenty-one and studying to be an investigative journalist. She has a cryptic letter from Pepper addressed to Scarlett that alludes to the events of that fateful night and Pepper’s initial intentions to get an abortion. Now Zoey wants answers about her mother’s past...”

Cheryl: Listen for the Lie was sooo good – I couldn’t sleep until I’d finished it!! If you enjoyed LFTL have you read First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston – go in blind but it was another couldn’t put it down for me!

“…the one thing she’s worked her entire life to keep clean, the one identity she could always go back to—her real identity—just walked right into this town. Evie Porter must stay one step ahead of her past while making sure there’s still a future in front of her. The stakes couldn’t be higher–but then, Evie has always liked a challenge…”

THEY WELCOME HER INTO THEIR GROUP

“…She sees them at her son’s new playgroup: the other mothers. A group of sleek, sophisticated women who live in a neighborhood of tree-lined avenues and stunning houses. The sort of mothers Tash would like to be. When the mothers welcome her into their circle, she discovers the kind of life she has always dreamt of—their elegant London townhouses a far cry from her cramped basement flat and endless bills. She is quickly swept up into their wealthy world via coffees, cocktails, and playdates.

But when another young woman is found dead, it’s clear there’s much more to the tight-knit community than meets the eye. The more Tash investigates, the more she’s led uncomfortably close to the other mothers…”
