RTC Honestly I’m sorry I wasted my time and I even turned the listening up
to a quicker pace and skimmed.

Heard this, seen this, read this before🤨

NZLisaM Ha, ha, I’m totally visualising you listening at a manic speed. 😁 Sorry you just wanted to get it over with, Dorie.


Sujoya - theoverbookedbibliophile I wasn't too impressed with this one either. Hope you love your next read!😊

Glad it made you smile Lisa, we have to see the humor in digging through this ARCs for a gem, right?

Jan I'm not seeing great reviews for this, Dorie. Seems like you're not alone in your assessment of this book. Let's hope you get a gem next!


Marialyce Sorry this wasn't for you, Dorie!


message 10: by Debra (new)

Debra how frustrating. Sorry it wasn't enjoyable, Dorie! I hope your current book is a winner!


message 11: by MarilynW (last edited Jan 13, 2023 08:41AM) (new) - rated it 4 stars

MarilynW I did not enjoy this one at all 🤗

Wait, I was thinking of Dirt Creek! I did like this one better than Dirt Creek 😵


message 12: by JanB (new) - rated it 2 stars

JanB I completely agree Dorie! This was a tired theme and there wasn't a character to support. Plus too much TMI! yuck 2 stars for me!

Thank you Debra, yes I just read a winner :)

Thanks Marilyn, but you gave it 4*???

Exactly Jan, another domestic thriller set in an affluent suburb, it seems everyone with money and living in a nice suburb is filthy rich with spoiled kids, sex crazed and killers!! Ugh, I only read this because they kept bugging me to review it and I saw lots of 4 and 5*, can't trust ratings. I didn't see yours or I would never have continued with it!

Thanks Marilyn, but you gave it 4*???"


I got this book and Dirt Creek mixed up. I really did not like Dirt Creek but I did like this 4 stars worth. I don't know how I do it, I was sound asleep and woke up suddenly, knowing that I had gotten this book mixed up with Dirt Creek. It all makes me look even crazier than I am. 🥴

Don't worry Marilyn, I'm right there with you, "brain fog" at times. I tried Dirt Creek many times and abandoned it! It didn't engage me at all and I knew it would end up being a 2* so that was a DNF for me!


Melissa (Semi-hiatus for Work) Totally agree with you, even though it wasn't very long, it felt too much like been there done that and got kind of boring.

Thanks Melissa I was definitely generous giving at three stars 😕


Sheyla ✎ I agree with you on this one. Great review, Dorie.

Pink that sums it up well, thanks! Definitely not a banger, can I borrow that term from you,, it's such a great one, just kidding I wouldn't steal!
