Woah! OMG! Wow! What a book! So incredibly clever, and I had strong gut feelings as to who was behind everything and was completely dumfounded by the finale as a result. There is so much more to many of the characters than meets the eyes. There are many red herrings, and I'm never really sure how things would turn out. For everything is pointing to the fact that on 1st April, Mary will die, and she is our main character, and main view point, and you get to know her well as she tries along with t...
We know who the next victim is. It’s me, isn’t it?The countdown has well and truly begun. After reading and enjoying The Perfect Couple by Jackie Kabler I couldn't wait to get my hands on this. This book surprised me, I thought I knew where it was going and then about two thirds in bam, I was thrown for a loop. I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING. I really liked that this story is told from the point of view of a potential victim, who also happens to be a crime reporter, as well as from t

I stayed up way too late reading this book! It felt like I should be able to predict what would happen, but I did not see any of the twists coming and felt genuinely surprised, even while simultaneously feeling like the characters were complex and fully developed and I knew them well. The sense of time and impending doom or disaster were conveyed really well, but in a fun suspenseful way, not a stressful one. I felt like the main character was relatable, but realistically flawed and her thought

The murder list by Jackie Kabler.When Mary receives a blank diary as a present, she thinks nothing of it. Until she opens the diary, and sees it’s not blank after all…I really really enjoyed this book. Great story and characters. Kept me gripped. I liked Mary. Pete I wasn't sure. What a twist. Didn't see that coming. 5*.
I would like to thank the author, the publisher and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of this book. Having read previous books by this author and enjoying them, I was looking forward to this book and I wasn't disappointed, it had a great story and some very interesting characters, with lots of twists I would definitely recommend this book.
