Book #18 Read in 2014
The Arrangement by Suzanne Forster
This book reminded me of the book Gone Girl....I didn't really like any of the characters or find anything redeeming about them...but I had to finish the book to see what happened to them. In The Arrangement, Allison was swept overboard and her husband, Andrew, is blamed. She is then found...or was she? It turns out that Andrew replaced his wife with Marnie, a deformed local girl who was also thought to be dead. He wants to use her to flush out Allison's true killer so that he can be freed from suspicion. A long line of suspects exist, including Allison's dysfunctional mother Julia and her mentally ill brother.
This book has good twists and turns in it. As I said above, none of these characters are truly innocent and some are not even decent people. That being said, readers will want to see what happens to them, if they get their just desserts and how this book will end.

This thriller was at first a slow burn, and then it got more and more intense. It kept me guessing!

I've read this three times so far and I can't figure out why I like this book. I am still very confused about some of the things that happened, and why they happened. It is very much like a soap opera, which is dislike, but that kept me reading trying to figure out how the story would play out. I am still very confused by the actions of the mother, and the cop made me so angry. The only character I like was Marnie, and that is because I felt so bad that she was mixed up in this mess, everyone else I just didn't like, even the husband because he forced them to be in that crazy house. Overall a very crazy story, with a lot of twists and turns.

A decent murder mystery page-turning thriller. It had great plot twists I would have given it 4 stars if it wasn't for the ending. It felt rather dragged and rushed and some parts didn't have enough clarity.

Somehow the reviews had given me an idea that the book was not all tht good but i loved it.The mystery /suspense quotient was great even though the romantic aspect was appalling. There was absolutely no chemistry btwn the leads and the emotions were missing completely.
Nevertheless, it was gud story with lots of layered characters to keep us hooked.
Go for it if u love mysteries!
