Make Up Reading

  I would like to thank Macmillan Audio & Netgalley for allowing me to listen to this book in exchange for an honest review 5 out of 5 stars I was so excited to get this book as an ARC as I kept hearing about it from the  booktubers that I love to watch. Many of them had this on their most excited about books for 2023! Let me start by saying that Adam Lazarre-White was a fantastic narrator that really embodied Eric.  This book offered me everything I was looking for! We have a family on the run from something mysterious, an interesting and small town full of secrets and a haunted house. So it was a perfect Southern gothic novel. I was hooked and listened to it in one night because I just couldn't put it down.  Johnny Compton is an amazing writer! I loved the characters and I just wanted to see how the story would play out.  Let me say that there is a twist in this that will surely shock you in the very best way!! Pick this up as soon as you can

  4 1/2 out of 5 stars This was a re read and I enjoyed it even more so I bumped it up a half star This is the first Lucy Foley book I have read and it has been on my list for a while. I purchased this back in September but wanted to wait to read it between Christmas and New Years and I am glad I did. It was the perfect read for last weekend. This felt like a modern Agatha Christie feel to it. I love when authors do a wonderful job of paying tribute to the great Dame Christie. A group of old friends gather for the annual New Year's Eve celebration along with employees who have secret pasts and of course rural Scotland and you have the perfect recipe for murder.
