3.5 Chilling and Creepy Mommy Dearest Stars

In honor of St. Paddy’s Day I joined in on a backlist buddy read of this thriller set in Dublin, Ireland. It starts off strong with a murder at the forefront. You will find yourself compulsively turning the pages, unable to stop reading about the disturbing dynamics within the Fitzsimons family.

The middle dragged a bit for me causing me to skim here and there though I was worried I'd miss something so I found myself going back to make sure at times. 🤣

One thing was for sure - this book made me appreciate how wonderful my mama is. Lydia Fitzsimons is the stuff of nightmares y'all. You do not want to be on her bad side. Need I say it - I loved her! So domineering, dark, demented and psychotic. Although the story was told from 3 perspectives, Lydia's was by far my favorite. I loved getting inside her twisted head. The ending was sufficiently chilling and disturbing. Having enjoyed this, I'm adding Unraveling Oliver to my TBR stat.

Julie G Well. . . I'm glad you had this book to honor St. Patrick's Day, because we all know you weren't able to go anywhere!

JanB I've had this book on my radar but I hate it when the urge to skim hits. Hmmm
