I really enjoyed this novel. I was inspired to read it after hearing the author speak and read excerpts from her book at EMPL. It is a fast read about why Grace left her family years ago.

For me this is the perfect summer read. It has the backdrop of the lake in Canada and the cabin, it is a light, easy fun read and it is a romance. The characters were fun and easy to connect with.

I enjoyed this thriller. I was not a fan of the main character but I did enjoy the ending which I usually don’t with Thrillers.

With A Vengeance
by Riley Sager

book cover


I really loved this. I am already a big Sager fan. But I liked that this novel changed his usual formula. Normally Sager's books involve someone in an old house or area, figuring out an old mystery from their past. But in this case, this was all about knowing what happened and searching for revenge/justice. There were also the usual twists. Some were predictable (one especially so), but some were unexpected and none of them detracted to the story. It can be difficult to read a train mystery without thinking of the Orent Express but I loved this story as it showed the different ways we look for justice.
