Copy furnished by Net Galley for the price of a review.
Snap decisions, snap judgments, becoming so angry that you finally just . . . SNAP. What will come of dying dreams, mistakes made, a particularly nosy neighbor, and a demoted homocide copper who takes umbrage at having to use his superior investigative skills to solve a rash of simple burglaries?
This has a straightforward story line, good sound characters, and a couple of surprising reveals along the way. The author and publisher apparently felt confident enough not to resort to the ubiquitous blurb "With a twist you'll never see coming!" or some variation on the theme. Thank you for that.
As an aside, I loved this bit - Catherine's mother left her husband because he moved his lips while reading. Priceless!

Lol, great review! Glad you enjoyed this too. I love how she didn’t have to resort to gimmicks or twists!
Oh, snap! Sorry, I could not resist saying it. Great review. ;-)
I wish they all would avoid those damn gimmicky statement as part of the title!

Perfect review, Zoey. I love Belinda Bauer. I don't know why I missed seeing other reviews of this title, but I'm v happy that yours caught my attention. Thanks!

I've read most of her books and enjoyed them all, but I think Rubbernecker was one of my favorites.
Wonderful review, Zoey! Hilarious quote. 😊
Excellent review! I hope to read this too :)

It's like Seinfeld left his girlfriend in an episode because of the way she ate her peas. :P

Fab review Zoey, I loved this too 😊
Miriam wrote: "Fab review Zoey, I loved this too 😊"Thank you, Miriam. Your review was tiptop!
Nice review, Zoeytron! Couldn't help chuckling at the bit you loved. 🤓
And no comparison to other thrillers also scores points. That IS a priceless bit, very Seinfeld-ian indeed!

Victoria wrote: "And no comparison to other thrillers also scores points.

I guess everything just HAS to have the word "Lie" or "Lies" in it now. *sigh*
Super review Zoey! Requested but no response yet. :-(
great review Zoey! glad you enjoyed too! 😃
That’s a reason to leave! Lol

Jen wrote: "That’s a reason to leave! Lol"It is disconcerting to see that, agreed. She should have paid closer attention before taking the wedding vows, no? Thanks, Jen.
wonderful review

Good one, Zoey! I must must must get to that copy of Rubbernecker that has been on my real shelf for over 3 years now. I think I’m missing something by not getting to this author!
Fantastic review. I can't wait to read this!
