slow, tedious, thriller
To be honest I was very disappointed with this book. I read the back and thought it sounded interesting and intriguing. The plot sounded good and as I had never read a John Grisham novel, I thought why not. It took me over 6 months to read because I found it boring and it really dragged on. When I read a thriller, I at least expect some modicum of violence or the odd descriptive murder, this lacked any. It went along so slow until the ending (which was unrealistic to me) was a welcome. If this is an indication of his writing then I think I will steer clear.

A really good and engaging thriller.

Jake's a bit of a lad and a horrific motorbike accident doesn't seem to change much however, when women he meets and show an interest in him are murdered, he becomes the prime suspect. Facing a multiple murder charge, Jake needs all the help he can get if he's not going to be staring at the inside of a cell for the majority of his life.

With some great characters (not all of them particularly likeable), a growing sense of tension and some great twists and turns, the Butterfly Wheel develops into a really good and engaging thriller and my thanks go to the author and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this book.

Loved this book! It has everything you could want from a thriller; fast paced, excellent story line, brilliant characters and great setting. Scarily, in the world in which we live, I can see this not being beyond the realms of reality!! Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.

THE SECRETS SHE KEEPS is tense, immersive, and emotional—a perfect blend of commercial thriller appeal and the kind of rich character development and masterful plotting that's simply hard to find.
Critic- Crime By The Book
