I decided to put this in "other" because there is really nothing that would define this as 21st Century other than its publication date really...

I think Paris' thrillers are pretty average, but after reading a couple of her books I will always read her. You want a straight forward thriller with a good hook, B.A. Paris is your writer. You want strong, complicated characters then not so much.

The hook of The Breakdown is Cass takes a shortcut despite her husband's warning not to and the next day she finds out a woman she passed on the road (pulled over on the shoulder) has been brutally murdered.

The rest of the story follows Cass in a post-trauma paranoia. Is she imagining things or does the murderer know who she is and trying to silence her forever.

Not much more to say. B.A. Paris stories are always fast reads.
Her writing is good but the novels could really be elevated by more complex characters.

I read this 2 years ago, and don't think I could have told you any details about this except "the car broke down" and the (view spoiler)[the husband is the bad guy (hide spoiler)]. I think that's right?

I like BA PAris for some quick popcorn psych thrillers.

Yep, that's about it! But yeah, good popcorn thrillers is right.

Agreed. It's one of the reasons I don't read many thrillers anymore. I find the characters rather flat.
