Welcome Book Lovers
That sounds so much better than book haters doesn't it! LOL
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my "scoop" (I'm all about the short sweet spoiler free style of reviewing) about a book I've read.
I'd love to hear your thoughts or comments, if you have any, about this novel. I'd also love to hear about your favorite novel by this author (if there is/you have one).
A GOOD HOUSEKEEPING “GREAT READ”
“A deliciously creepy psychological thriller.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
This chilling psychological suspense novel—think Strangers on a Train for the modern age—explores the dark side of love and the unbreakable ties that bind twin sisters together.
Felix and Tilda seem like the perfect couple: young and in love, a financier and a beautiful, up-and-coming starlet. But behind their flawless façade, not everything is as it seems.
Callie, Tilda’s unassuming twin, has watched her sister visibly shrink under Felix’s domineering love. She has looked on silently as Tilda stopped working, nearly stopped eating, and turned into a neat freak, with mugs wrapped in Saran Wrap and suspicious syringes hidden in the bathroom trash. She knows about Felix’s uncontrollable rages, and has seen the bruises on the white skin of her sister’s arms.
Worried about the psychological hold that Felix seems to have over Tilda, Callie joins an Internet support group for victims of abuse and their friends. However, things spiral out of control and she starts to doubt her own judgment when one of her new acquaintances is killed by an abusive man. And then suddenly Felix dies—or was he murdered?
A page-turning work of suspense that announces a stunning new voice in fiction, White Bodies will change the way you think about obsession, love, and the violence we inflict on one another—and ourselves.
I loved this book.
It has such a noir feel to it. It is so thoughtful and well paced and plotted. I found myself saying just a few more pages each time I read.
It's perfectly Hitchcockian. Shouldn't be a surprise as the characters talk about him.
Careful reading may yield secrets before they are revealed.
I was a tad let down at the end but it is fitting considering the drama of it all.
Both sisters are utterly creepy and sinister in their own way.
I do have one HUGE question that was never answered (unless I missed it) regarding a lost childhood item. But that's just me and I have my suspicions anyway LOL.
I can't wait for the next book by Ms Robins.
I think fans of Ruth Ware would enjoy this novel.
