Oh my goodness. This book is just wow. It is so authentic and so heartbreaking. It speaks to the desire of our society to make snap judgements based on the media. It is about a school shooting, yes, but it is about so much more...family, heartbreak, love, loss, heroism. This was a great read despite the fact that I ugly cried for the last 5 chapters or so. This is one of those books that is going to stay with me for a loonngggg time.

Great concept Terrible execution
It Stephen King... What’s not to Love???

Answer: This Movie.

The trailer had me hooked, this looked like a great thriller based on kings work, surely a slam dunk in most people’s book. No not this one. Truly the saving grace and the reason I stuck till the end was Patrick Wilson, who’s commitment to this truly outlandish and ridiculous character was utterly commendable so props to him.

Everything else was just Bad Bad Bad

I eagerly recommend Catriona McPherson’s “House. Tree. Person.” as an intriguing 4 star read.
                        
I do enjoy reading Catriona McPherson’s books based in the Galloway region and enjoy following the characters journey’s between the towns that my family spoke of during my childhood.

This book is a good paced thriller filled with so much suspense you just don’t know what the twist is until the very end (or at least I didn’t).

This book was an easy, yet engrossing, read and had me hooked early on. The author tells the backstory at the perfect pace to ensure the reader turns page after page.

Thanks to Catriona McPherson, Midnight Ink and Net Galley for the opportunity to read and review this engrossing suspense novel.
