I just wanted to point out for anyone reading this as part of the "23 BOOKS IN 2023", this book takes place during SUMMER, in the month of July (not in the winter, as suggested in the list of recommendations).

RATING: 4.5 STARS 2017; Minotaur/St. Martin's Press I have had The Vanishing Season on my TBR list for about 4 years, and now I am mentally kicking myself for waiting soooo long. This novel starts with a bang and does not let go of you…

The Vanishing Season is a fine first novel. The plot held my attention throughout and I read right through it. The book’s weak point was character development. The characters were sufficient to keep the thrilling plot moving along, but…

A bit too graphic and gruesome for my taste. Kristi & Abby Tabby

Good thriller. Kept my attention but I figured out the killer and did not find the ending to be such a twist.

Not a bad book, there is for sure a few twists and worth the read but I probably wouldn't read it again.

This book is original and very well written. It kept me up last night. I'm glad to see she has another book coming out next year.

While reading this book, I often thought about Thomas Harris's "Silence of the Lambs." It's not as sinister, but it definitely recreated the nervous feeling I got when reading that book. There are a few plot holes here and there (would it…

Received an award for First Novel. Easy to see why. It builds to a satisfying climax with interesting characters - flawed but not silly. The protagonist, a police officer, was abducted 10 years ago when she was 14, and rescued but not…

A big disappointment. Unappealing characters, unbelievable and plodding plot and a completely contrived denouement. I guessed who the villain was long before the end, but only because I asked myself who would make least sense to be that…

Didn't find any of the main characters compelling. An easy read though.

I thought this book was vastly overrated. The pace was slow, the characters' relationships were unbelievable, and the plot has been done to death. Two of the main characters go from just jumping out of bed to hurling hateful barbs at…

I really enjoyed this book. It sucks you in immediately and the characters are interesting. It's a quick, easy read - highly recommend for travel and vacation reading. I appreciate the unique perspective of the main character. It's nice to…

A tense atmospheric thriller with a couple of great MC's.
