*https://mrsbbookreviews.wordpress.com*4.5 starsMegan Goldin is a new author on the block in the overly populated domestic noir sub genre. She takes a tried and tested formula but manages to stand out from the crowd, with her debut novel, The Girl in Kellers Way. For the record I completely enjoyed my reading experience of The Girl in Kellers Way. Goldin has demonstrated through her first novel that she has made an easy transition from a foreign correspondent, to a talented writer. Goldin’s firs...

Read a review on Goodreads when I came across it scrolling. Suprised me at every stage. Read this in a sitting. 2 povs, murder, mystery and family drama. One character trying to figure herself and her past/present situation whereas the other female character is in the police force figuring out crimes past/present that may or may not have some realtionship. Supsensful, easy to read, great pace and setting. Definitely read if you want a well thought out and fun read.

(2017).A body is found near the forest of Kellers Way; Detective Mel needs to identify the victim to catch the killer - hard to do when the crime was committed years ago.

3.75 Stars. After a bit of a slow start Goldin’s alternating first person narrative really hits its stride. The contrast between the viewpoints of highly dependent and erratic housewife Julie and the very likeable, stoic and reliable detective Mel keeps readers guessing and short chapters help build suspense.

This is one of those books that points readers in a certain direction and it seems so obvious you know it’s a classic misdirection. However… Goldin adds in enough red herrings that we’re forced to ponder if there’s a double bluff being played. Or perhaps it’s just me overthinking things again!Julie West (who describes herself as former trailer park trash) is married to the wealthy enigmatic psychology professor and academic Matt and raising their daughter Alice. But we learn early that Julie is

Megan Goldin's debut novel The Girl In Kellers Way reads like she's been publishing crime fiction for years. The plot is tightly woven around well developed characters as interesting as the hidden motives and dangerous liaisons they pursue. Short, punchy chapters alternating between key characters keeps the story fresh and provides a nice yin/yang dynamic between the thin blue line of policing, and the everyday civilian. This slice of domestic noir with a physiological suspense twist is written

Julie West is the second wife of psychology Professor, Matt West in a small US college town. She loves her husband and step daughter Alice, but has suffered some traumatic events and has been on medication to help her recover. However, she prefers to avoid taking the medication as it dulls her mind and plays havoc with her memory. Instead she clears her mind by enjoying her daily runs through a forest track called Kellers Way until one day something happens on her run and she suffers a set back

I am so mad I want to slap one star on it. This is one of those books you enjoy quietly until it gets you hooked like a junkie in a meth lab, only to turn you into a madwoman capable of inflicting mass destruction.Because I so love spending my nights reading pretty little books and then going to work in the morning feeling like shit, exhausted and burned out. Just for the fuck of it. I don't need proper endings, closures or conclusions. Who cares how the story ends.Well... FUCK open-to-interpret...

4 1/2 starsMy View:“Most murders are committed by someone known to the victim. More often than not, it’s an immediate relative. A husband. Or a wife.” (back cover)What a fantastic debut novel! I love domestic noir, and this is a great example of the genre. As I read I solved the mysteries of this narrative in my head only to have nagging doubts bubble to the surface the more pages I turned. I did not like the character – Matt – what a well written egocentric, calculating individual he is. Julie

I read The Girl In Kellers Way on the plane. From the moment I started reading it when I boarded the plane to when I got off the plane in Perth, I could not put it down. It is easily the best book I've read for ages and I can't stop thinking about it.

I read the Girl in Kellers Way and I could not put it down. The story starts with two apparently separate stories which merge together to create a reading experience that takes an unbreakable hold on the reader's attention. The story throws and teases, and you don't know which way it will go until the very end. This is one of the best books that I have read for a long time and I would highly recommend this book for readers who loves psychological thrillers, or just anyone looking for a great boo...

Thoroughly enjoyed this psychological thriller. One of the best that I've read for ages.

I love books that I can't stop reading. The Girl in Kellers Way is in a similar genre to Gone Girl and Girl on the Train. It is very well written for a book of this genre with a fast-paced, twisting story that kept me glued to each page. Loved it!! It's one of the best books that I've read this year and the best thriller that I've read since Gone Girl.

The Girl in Kellers Way I would say is my favourite book read this year! I noted all the high reviews and the comparison to the big name books this year. I completely agree that this book has not got the attention it deserves.The story begins with two different story lines that eventually merge together. It keeps you guessing and intrigued the whole way along. The two story lines are intertwined and flow so easily, unlike other books I have read where you become lost and somewhat bored.I was fas...

Easily one of my favourite books of the year so far. It had a slow start, but once I was in I was IN. So, so good. Full review to come, hopefully!

This psychological thriller is a gripping story about the frustrated and anxious wife (Julie) of a psychology professor (Matt) who feels that her marriage is shadowed by her husband's dead wife who was murdered years ago. As the story evolves we learn that Julie has all sorts of secrets as does Matt. And then it gets really interesting when the dead wife's body is found and it turns out the person the police thought murdered her didn't. So they start investigating and as they do, the marriage un...

I couldn't stop reading The Girl In Kellers Way so I ended up reading it in a day and a half. The writing was very good and the story and characters were compelling. It's among the best psychological crime thrillers that I have read in my opinion mostly because it has so many unexpected twists and it is very clever. I hope to read more books from this author.

I received an Advanced Reading copy of this book.Enthralled. That is what happened to me when I started reading this book. I was enthralled and captured, much the way one of the characters is.There is murder, mystery and of course, mayhem aplenty! Who is the Girl in Kellers Way? How did she die? Where does Julie tie in to this and can Detective Melanie Carter connect the dots? These are just SOME of the questions raised as you read this book and it takes you on quite an adventure to the conclusi...

This book was recommended to me by a friend - a bit of a six degrees of separation thing. I was skeptical, but it sounded good.OH MY GOSH - It was un-put-down-able. It only took me 48 hours to read. I had to read in between making children's breakfast and school lunch. I had to have it with me for school pick up. I didn't talk to ANYONE during swimming or netball training for those two days!After the first few chapters, I was sure I had it all worked out. WRONG! There was a twist or a turn in ev...
