Barbara (cinnabarb) | 10022 comments I finished The Sleepwalker The Sleepwalker (Sleepwalker, #1) by Chris Bohjalian by Chris Bohjalian.

Annalee Ahlberb, a sleepwalker, goes missing one night. Her husband and two daughters try to go on with their lives while they wait to learn what happened to her. The story's a bit slow but very informative about sleepwalking. 3.5 stars.

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 10022 comments I finished Death of a Chimney Sweep (Hamish Macbeth #26) by M.C. Beaton Death of a Chimney Sweep by M.C. Beaton

A con man is killed and Hamish MacBeth is on the trail of the perpetrator. Most of Lochdubh's usual quirky characters make an appearance. Not a great addition to the series, but it's okay. 3 stars.

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 10022 comments I finished Last Breath Last Breath (Detective Erika Foster, #4) by Robert Bryndza by Robert Bryndza.

In this 4th book in the series, DCI Erika Foster in on the trail of a serial killer who targets pretty brunettes. Story alternates between the investigation and the perp's dastardly deeds. Good thriller. 3 stars.

Jean | 359 comments I think this fits the literary fiction genre mostly, but the prologue sets it up to feel mysterious. Whatever you call it, Beartown Beartown by Fredrik Backman takes it time getting there, but it's really worth it in the end!

I would definitely check it out if you're into psychological thrillers! Though there is a certain element to the story that some people were put off by. Can't really mention it without giving anything away. But I would highly recommend checking it out if you like shocking endings!

Yeah, it was one I was not expecting at all! And I'm usually pretty good with guessing "twists" and the like. Those gifs show exactly how I felt!

Sandysbookaday (taking a step back for a while) (sandyj21) | 4770 comments Victim Mentality by Angelo Marcos Victim Mentality by Angelo Marcos

Angelo Marcos is one of a very select group of authors of whom I cannot get enough.

Victim Mentality is a very clever and immensely enjoyable psychological thriller like nothing else I have read.

Nick is OCD and has reached a critical point in his life -no one likes him, not his girlfriend, his support group, his agent.

When he lands a role as a career criminal he wants to meet one so that he can get into the role. Enter Gideon Mathias, master criminal and manipulator extraordinaire.

Highly recommended.

Thank you to author Angelo Marcos for providing a digital copy of Victim Mentality for review. All opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
