I really liked that passage because a) I instantly knew the magnetic material he was speaking of. Remember the Wooly Willy toys as kids? You would drag the iron fragments to the blank face to make eyebrows and a beard and whatnot. The liquid version of that was in tubes you could find at the museum gift shops or science magazines. I loved them, but moreover, I resonated with the description. Jagged edges pointing at anyone daring to come near, and they turn harshly to me too, hurting myself with my own stalactites. Holy cow! This book is a non-stop ride that ends in a way I never saw coming! Once again, I was intrigued because it sounded like a good mystery story. I was not disappointed. I did not realize that this is the second book in a series but I didn't find it hard to follow along anyway. As far as I knew it was a standalone. Honestly the way this book ended I am glad to find out it is a series. Sloane, Judy. "Starburst magazine issue 268, What Lies Beneath director interview". www.visimag.com.

You feel like punching several times from supernatural forces and crying like a baby to make it stop! Sorry our author is evil genius and he keeps sending more bombs and destroys your safe space. I enjoyed the fact that Laura is a strong female protagonist. Despite her distinct flaws, I was drawn along with her on her journey.

Laura's presence is a reminder of a dark past in this little town. Her dad's PTSD contributed by Vietnam and his connection with the family killed is a dispatch of clues but connecting the dots becomes tedious and his disappearance creates an edge of the seat thriller. The Merrit's little girl, Emily, was one of Laura's closet friends, but after their murder, they were never to mention Emily's existence in their house again. That was true expression and quiet real reflection of my feelings: I was terrified! And you know what I’m not easily scared of anything instead of my image in the morning and my husband’s snoring sound louder than cumulative ten T-rex screaming! But let me tell you something, when I reach the end, my spine was already tingling and there were at least 15 teeth bites on my arm (nope, my dogs are innocent, I did to myself because I have no longer nails which is more disgusting image you may ever imagine.) Wow, I was blown away by this book. Right at the start we learn that Nina has had her 68 year old mother, Maggie, chained up in the attic for the last two years 😮. We don’t know what she has done to deserve this. The story, told from the perspective of both women in both the present and the past slowly peels away the layers until we get to the truth. And it’s not pretty! When reporter Laura Chambers is called into the investigation of a fatal vehicular incident, it turns out her roots are quite deep in the bigger mystery of why a Jane Doe calls her minutes before she is killed. From removing protestors from inside dangerous tunnels to the scenes of some of the UK's most notorious crimes, he describes how he has developed into a highly regarded and highly skilled search specialist, whose job is to assist investigators and police as they search crime scenes and bring serial killers to justice.

Success!

Maybe it’s the duality in her personality, but how can she claim to have a loving relationship with him when what happened to her proves otherwise? Also, for someone who hates their mother, she’s so unsuspecting when being told she has rare incurable disease.

Filled with unlikeable, dysfunctional characters, secrets, lies and disturbing choices, 'What Lies Between Us' had a malevolent feel to it, which chilled me. The characters, with their co-dependency, got under my skin, and left me feeling anxious and quite sad.

We all kind of know appeasement is a bad idea,” Hoffman says. “Giving Hitler Czechoslovakia didn’t work out well. But exactly why is it such a bad idea?” Maggie y Nina, madre e hija que viven juntas y solas desde la desaparición del padre, tienen una particularidad. Nina vive “más o menos” una vida normal, y Maggie no sale de casa desde hace casi tres años…. Más que nada porque Nina la tiene encadenada en su habitación de la planta superior, aunque para las cenas le permite acceder hasta el salón… con una cadena más larga. La novela nos explica el porqué de esta situación en capítulos que van de una a otra de las protagonistas, y que van adelante y atrás en el tiempo, llegando incluso al momento en que el padre dejó de formar parte de sus vidas.
