Despite a few unnecessary twists that leave listeners wanting, overall this is a suspenseful and worthwhile work that adds to the genre of psychological thrillers. Readers who enjoy BA Paris and Gillian Flynn will enjoy this title. [“Readers…will love the skewed psychology and shifting perspectives of this domestic thriller”: LJ 10/15/17 starred review of the St. Martin’s hc.]
Listeners will surely want other books in the series. ["A readable, tidy police procedural that echoes any number of popular television series": LJ 8/10 review of the Akashic hc.]
Readers who enjoy the work of Paula Hawkins and Ruth Ware will want this title. ["Will consume psychological thriller enthusiasts and keep them thinking long after the final page": LJ Xpress Reviews 12/16/16 starred review of the Ballantine hc.]
Readers who appreciate the thrillers of Iris Johansen, Tess Gerritsen, and Lisa Gardner will enjoy getting to know Bianca St. Ives. [See Prepub Alert, 12/12/16.]
In early 2017, a call for chapter proposals began circulating on library Listservs for a forthcoming book titled Tolerance: Social Justice and Activism in Libraries, Moving Beyond Diversity to Action. The aim of the book is to discuss how librarians can take diversity, social justice, and social change to the next level and promote tolerance in libraries. As a librarian, scholar, and educator who specializes in issues of diversity and social justice, and how to integrate them into LIS pedagogy and education, I was instantly taken aback by the use of the word tolerance. Tolerance and diversity are not words I regularly put together; in fact, I view them in opposition to each other.
Although written for LIS students, this work is also essential for all information professionals and will be particularly valuable to library managers looking to recruit a more inclusive workforce.
Kent's (The Crooked House) psychological thriller is reminiscent of B.A. Paris's Behind Closed Doors, which is a more exciting example of stories in this subgenre (a wife realizes she doesn't actually know the man she married). Readers who enjoy Fiona Barton and Shari Lapena may want to try this title.
