1.31.2016 - The Girl From Home

The Girl From Home

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this advance reader's copy!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's classified as a thriller and it does have those twists and turns in it, but to me it was a bit lighter fare, if murder can be considered light?

The book is divided into succinct parts - it begins with Jonathan. A self-made multi-millionaire in the hedge fund world. Has the Bentley, the trophy wife, the penthouse and wants an ocean-front summer home in the Hamptons. In his words...he wants what he wants. Then his world and job come crashing down.

Enter Jackie - the high school homecoming queen that he lusted after in high school when he was a nerd and she dated the quarterback. They meet up at their 25-year class reunion and sparks fly. However, Jackie is married to an abusive, horrid man.

Without giving away any of the fun, these worlds collide and end in murder.

Definitely a fun read and one that I read way too late into the night. I've never read any of this author's works before but am definitely going to go back and see what I've missed!
