Review: A killer stalks the university campus & has just killed their third victim. Currently on campus is Charlie Jordan, who ever since the deaths of her parents in a car accident, has allowed her life to be consumed by movies, to the extent that she 'sees' movies playing in her head whenever things become too stressful or sad. Now, following the murder of her best friend, Maddy, at the hands of the Campus Killer, all Charlie wants to do is go home, so she decides to use the college ride share board to get a lift home to Ohio. She meets Josh Baxter there, a stranger who works on campus, but is going home for a family emergency. As their car journey begins, they start talking & it isn't long before Charlie realises there are things about Josh that don't add up. Is it just her imagination, is it her guilt at leaving her best friend alone that fateful night, is she really seeing what she thinks she is seeing, or is Josh the Campus Killer? I do so look forward to a new Riley Sager book & this one is a belter of a read. It starts off quite slowly, but as things pick up, the tension mounts, & I found myself flying through the final 40% of the book. It is written mainly from Charlie's point of view, but there are short chapters from other characters, & it all adds to the build-up. Yes, you do have so suspend your disbelief that Charlie would get in a car with a stranger mere weeks after the murder of her best friend, & with a killer on campus, but if you can do that, the twists keep on coming, & you won't be disappointed. My thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Hodder & Stoughton, for the opportunity to read an ARC. I am voluntarily giving an honest review.

Review: Charlie Jordan is being driven across the country by a serial killer. Maybe. Yeah, or maybe not. I mean, she’s being driven to the next state and she spends so long faffing about, panicking and convincing herself of conspiracy theories and then talking herself out of them that it feels like she’s been driven a LOT further, but she’s not. This is the second Sager book I’ve read and the second time I’ve been duped by cover quotes and I have to say it won’t happen again. When the story was moving forward (which wasn’t often), it was well-written and entertaining. When it was delving (repeatedly) into backstory - some incidents of which were recounted more than once - it was tedious. And while we were in the car with Charlie and Josh-who-might-not-be-Josh-but-might-be, I found myself skimming huge chunks where Charlie kept pondering the same thing. Needless to say, I wasn’t impressed and would not recommend.
