You can read this. Well, I mean, you can definitely read this. Only if:1) You bought it for free (as I did).2) You don't have an account in Wattpad but want to know how a typical story in there "sounds" like.3) You're simply procrastinating. It is 35 pages long so won't take you more than, 20 minutes?4) You want to re-understand that everything that's tagged "bestseller" can hardly be...you know.That's basically my opinion. The story had an interesting synopsis, I mean, you know that thing: when...
An intriguing short story with a very nice twist.
For a short story this was a really good read. It's hard to say to much about it without giving away the whole story but it is packed with suspense and easily had me read it in one go as I wanted to know who was behind killing Emily's boss.I think fans of the author are going to really enjoy this and if you haven't read any of their books, then you will certainly want to after reading this!
It's an average story. Though the climax is predictable, it gives us a couple of likely scenarios.
A contemporary crime thriller written with skill, it has all the trademarks of a full size thriller packed into only forty pages. Quite a feat!Our protagonist is 26 year-old Emily Latimer who works as a junior accountant in an office. Disappointed that her boss, Andrew Burton, will not let her have the weekend off to travel to Edinburgh with her girlfriends, she writes a quick text to her live-in boyfriend, Stuart, in which she vents her frustration. Andrew (whom she has nicknamed 'Android', i...
2.5, really... The short story was just OK... I've read a ton of short stories which have blown me away. This one didn't quite hit the mark. The writing was a bit clunky... But... worth a read for the theme.
The Text is a short story by Claire Douglas. It’s a murder mystery that revolves around a text message that is accidentally sent from Emily who is enraged with her boss Andrew. The plot illustrates how easily a text message can be misconstrued with just one letter of the alphabet typed incorrectly. This one text changed Emily’s life forever!The story held my attention and it was a page-turner for me, I’m interested in reading more from this author.
This was a stunning short story that had me riveted from start to finish! What starts out as an opening premise quickly morphs into a mystery that not only includes murder but the ones we cover ourselves with.Why have I not read this author before? I'm off now to rectify that!
Letters - there are 26 of them in the alphabet, and in The Text, author Claire Douglas demonstrates how, by inserting just one of those 26 letters incorrectly, it can change the entire meaning of a text message!Emily is furious with her boss Andrew, after he tells her that she might not be allowed time off for her trip to Edinburgh the following week. He’d known about it for quite a while, and she’d been organising it with her friends for months now, and was really looking forward to it. She sen...
The Text by Claire Douglas is a crime thriller. It revolves around the sudden death of a person when a text accidentally sends into the office group. It will change the life of a female protagonist. The cover page is appealing, and that's one of the reasons I choose this book.The main character is Emily Latimer; she works in an office under Andrew. Emily lives with her boyfriend, Stuart. She plans a trip to Edinburgh, but Andrew didn't give her time off. Furiously, she typed a text to send her b...
Last Seen Alive has been one of my favourite books this year as you can tell if you read my review of that book HERE . So I was thrilled to see this short story free over on Amazon! If you’ve never read any books by Claire before it’s the perfect opportunity to check out what you’re missing and I’m convinced that when you do, you will be fangirling as much as I do about this authors books. And even better you can read the beginning of Last Seen Alive at the end of The Text.This really is the per...
The Text is a free kindle short story by one of my favourite authors. And that's also the only reason why I picked it up because I don't normally read short stories. I find them, wait for it, too short. . Just when you feel you're getting to grips with things, it's over. But did I mention this is Claire Douglas? I'll pretty much read anything she comes up with, to be fair.Emily Latimer is angry at her boss, Andrew. She's planned a weekend away with her friends but Andrew is reluctant to give her...
This short story is currently free on Kindle and well worth downloading. Its only about 40 pages and it took under an hour to read but its a quality story with very good characterisation and a twisty storyline.
