DNF, might go back to finish those last 80 pages at some point Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. 4.5 *Judging by reviews, this seems to be a love it or "oh well" book. I'm in the love it camp. I thoroughly enjoyed this psychological thriller. Joan Lurie is on a mission to expose a famous newspaper tycoon for his years of sexually exploiting women, and her boss (also a newspaper publisher) gives her his support. This is her big break and she's looking forward to a brighter and more financially promising future. But when she's attacked the night her story goes to press, she begins to unravel and moves into a prestgious and ultra-secure building that has a mysterious history. Meanwhile, the man she accused is found dead soon after her story is published. His widow blames Joan for her husbands death and the now less than desirable financial circumstances her late husband has left her in. She doesn't really believe her husband was a sexual predator and is out to prove Joan is wrong. Joan meets one of her neighbors and as she learns more about the background of her building (it was once a Magdalen Laundry, where "bad girls" were kept), she sees parallels to some of the current events. I was intrigued by the plot and enjoyed the unique characters. I especially enjoyed the authors notes at the back of the book explaining the author's interest in the subject matter. A super fun read! Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. This was a good read, multiple story lines, and a good ending.. Some unexpected friendships occurred which I really liked and did not expect. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. I am supposed to receive this as an Early Reader book, but it hasn’t arrived yet.Since Carol Goodman is one of my favorite authors I went ahead and got a copy from the library. This certainly didn’t live up to the quality of most of the rest of her books. The stories within the story were hard to follow, and I just didn’t care or connect with any of the characters. I forced myself to finish. This won’t keep me from eagerly anticipating her next book…everyone is entitled to an occasional oops keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"In a twisting, mesmerizing story that is as beautifully written as it is utterly propulsive, Goodman keeps us breathlessly turning the pages right to the shocking and poignant end. I absolutely loved this layered and moving novel!" --Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of Confessions on the 7:45 You're never really alone Journalist Joan Lurie has written a seething article exposing a notorious newspaper tycoon as a sexual predator. But the night it goes live, she is brutally attacked. Traumatized and suffering the effects of a concussion, she moves into a highly secure apartment in Manhattan called the Refuge, which was at one time a Magdalen Laundry. Joan should be safe here, so how can she explain the cryptic incidents that are happening? Lillian Day is Joan's new 96-year-old neighbor at the Refuge. In 1941, Lillian witnessed a mysterious murder that sent her into hiding at the Magdalen Laundry, and she hasn't come out since. As she relates to Joan her harrowing story, Joan sees striking similarities to her own past. Melissa Osgood, newly widowed and revengeful, has burning questions about her husband's recent death. When she discovers a suspicious paper trail that he left behind, she realizes how little she knew about her marriage. But it seems Joan Lurie might be the one who has the answers. As these three lives intersect, each woman must stay one step ahead of those who are desperate to make sure the truth is never uncovered"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
