Reviews: All The Wrong Places (41)
“Excellent modern thriller”
(Paperback)
I absolutely loved this book. It is a dark thriller and there’s a bit of detail regarding the serial killer Mr Right Now and what he does to his victims. There are 4 main characters in the book as well as Mr Right Now. Paige the centre of all the relationships, Paige’s mother Joan, Chloe, Paige’s best friend and her cousin Heather.
There are quite a few clues throughout the story which, for me, made the ending a bit too predictable but still a worthwhile read. Paige’s best friend Chloe has a story running alongside the main story and they overlap. The writing is excellent and I found myself getting really involved with the characters. One minute your angry, then sad, then petrified and then all three at once !
It was a quick read and I couldn’t put it down! I wish the end was a little better but maybe there will be a sequel!
“Gobbled up”
(Paperback)
This is the second one of Joy Fielding's books that I've read, and just like the first, I gobbled it up!
My ideal genres are crime, thriller and chic lit with a twist and this was a wonderful mixture of them all.
The characters were a little tricky to follow, because everyone was connected in some strange way, but once I had got my head around who was who, I lapped up the storyline like a hungry dog. I felt sorry for some of them, angry at others and real happiness when others experienced happiness themselves!
There were twists and turns that I saw coming but also some really unpredictable ones that I really didnt. The twist at the end made me want to jump for joy for paige the main character!
“Suspenseful thriller”
(Paperback)
This was my first Joy Fielding book, but it definitely won’t be my last. It was brilliantly written and certainly very gripping to read.
The creepy introduction from the viewpoint of a serial killer had me hooked from the first page.
The book focuses on four main women characters, Paige and her mother Joan, cousin Heather and best friend Chloe all of whom are very different.
It's a very modern type of suspenseful thriller, looking at relationships, infidelity and the perils of online dating.
The way in which the story unfolds,told from each characters viewpoints, means you get to know each one in a way which has you invested in their lives and certainly willing them to step away from certain situations!
I did guess a couple of the twists but nevertheless I found it a real page turner and would highly recommend it.
“Chilling...”
(Paperback)
Paige Hamilton has joined a dating agency.
Just trying to get back out there she unwittingly attracts the notice of a deranged killer.
But three other women close to Paige also join the online agency, her mother, friend Chloe and cousin Heather.
Little do any of them realise that they are in grave danger.
The killer is determined to find another victim and if it can't be Paige then one of the others will just have to do and fill her place instead.
The killer's blood is up and he will stop at nothing to get his next fix...
This was a gripping thriller from beginning to end and a cautionary warning as to the dangers of the Internet and the intentions of virtual strangers.
“Friends and internet dating”
(Paperback)
Set in Boston USA, and Paige has recently separated from her boyfriend after she found him with her cousin, her cousin who was very similar in age as well as looks. She moves back in temporarily with her mother and very soon Paige decides to look for another boyfriend on internet dating sites. Here begins something very sinister!
The first few pages are set three months in advance and you are left almost horrified by what is going on at a date night. Go back three months and we find out what happens to Paige. What is it with Paige's cousin Heather, is there more to her than just being her cousin who went off with her boyfriend? Also Paige's best friend Chloe has found out that her husband Matt has been cheating on her again after finding his profile on an internet dating site. Their mothers also seem to have problems in and around their lives, what a complicated situation it is around the four women.
A thriller which I think would be more suited to the female reader, as it does go into quite a lot of female "issues ", and does give some warnings over internet dating as you never know who is at the other end of the computer. It keeps your interest throughout with a quirky ending.
