Book-a-book of the Month Club discussion

Discuss the Author M.J. Arlidge. Other books you have read? Plans to read more in the future?

After this, I think I will continue the Helen Grace stories. They will make for good breaks between other books (kinda like James Patterson).

As I said, I love the short chapters. If those keep up, I will read more!

I will not be reading more. I don't think I like superficial books where they're more enjoyable if I turn my mind off. The fast chapters facilitate that nicely. One beat after another with "twist, twist, twist." Whenever I did take a step back and look at the story that was unfolding I almost tossed my phone away out of pure frustration.

I also don't like being lead when I'm reading. More so because I thought I was reading a crime, suspense novel. I was just along for the ride and I felt like things that were meant to be "twists" were so driven home that when they were finally revealed I was annoyed that it was meant to be a revelation.

I may read more in the future - hard to say. I actually need a "mind turned off" book from time to time.
