What an amazing thriller this had so many twists and turns I felt like I was on a rollercoaster and I love a good plot twist fantastic keeps you guessing roo the very end

Paper Ghosts is not watching, but reading a game of chess as two skilled players try to outstrategise each other to achieve their goal.

This was a brilliant read. As soon as I started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it. Highly recommended

This one starts unusually, and it took perseverance to keep going. There's much to this story and the characters and some beautiful writing, and it does get going after the slow start. But it's still a bit odd, and challenging.

Gripping storyline which developed well throughout. Kept me guessing. Thanks for the opportunity to read.

I loved this clever, captivating story. Grace's character is superbly drawn and I love the inclusion of photos and her survival notebook. I was glued to the end

Wow what an interesting concept!

A women kidnaps a man who she is convinced has killed her sister among other girls. However the man has dementia.... so exactly what does he remember?

I loved this book - keeps you guessing right to the end as to who is telling what truth. Would highly recommend.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.

Very enjoyable book and really great story. I could not make up my mind about Carl all the way through. Spoiler Alert! I was convinced very early on that Carl did not murder Rachel but couldn’t decide if he was a murderer or not. The Mary’s picture was a genius gripper all the way through and got my mind going back and forth between murdered or family. If the intention of the author was to make the readers like Carl it worked on me. I found him to be quite charming. The road trip was full of action and incidents and kept me reading into the early morning hours. Loved this and would read from this author again

Great chiller, easy to read in one sitting. The theme is original and exciting, better brace yourself for the ending.

Loved this book. Grace’s sister disappeared when she was a teenager - after years of investing Grave is convinced she knows who killed her and sets off on an unusual road trip with that man . A tense psychology thriller that reveals sides to all the characters you just weren’t expecting. Highly recommended

I read this book in a matter of days, as I really wanted to know the ending. The plot twists and answers to questions came suddenly and hit the right punches, with really good pacing. I've been meaning to read Black Eyed Susans for a while now so hopefully I can pick it up soon

Paper ghosts is an original tale that will leave you turning the pages into the night. A fantastic narrative, with excellent twists and turns.

I read this around release date and didnt write a full review, i really enjoyed this, it was unexpected as i wasnt 100% sure wether i would, i would read more by the author

This is a beautiful, thrilling, suspense story of a girl grown up after losing her sister when she was twelve years old. There are many threads to this story but strangely the crime is the not really one of them. Grace and Carl are intricate and intriguing characters and the journey she takes him on is full of mixed emotions - hope, hate, and murder. As a reader I found it confusing to read at first as the back and forth is slightly overwhelming. However I was soon caught up in the atmospheric nature of the mystery.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publishers for my free ARC.

I loved this book. And I mean LOVED. I felt like I held my breath for the last few chapters. I loved the setting, the characters, and the story was gripping and clever. I'm off to buy everything else this author has ever written.

Having read blaxk eyes Susan's and struggled with it. I really hoped i would be able. To get on with this one.. However i just couldnt.

----------

My Sister disappeared.

I know who took her.

Now I've taken him.

----------

Carl Louis Feldman is an old man who once took photographs. That was before he was tried for murder and acquitted. Before dementia and his admission to a Texas care facility. Now his daughter has come to see him, to take him on a trip. Only she's not his daughter, and, if she has her way, he's not coming back . . .

Because Carl's past has finally caught up with him. The woman driving the car is convinced he's guilty, and that he's killed other young women. Including her sister Rachel. Now they're driving across Texas, following his photographs, his clues, his crimes. To see if he remembers any of it. To discover what happened to Rachel.

Has Carl truly forgotten what he did or is he just pretending? Perhaps he's guilty of nothing and she's the liar. Either way, in driving him into the Texan badlands she's taking a terrible risk. For if Carl really is a serial killer, she's alone in the most dangerous place of all . . .

This was a gripping, unusual read - a different slant on the usual whodunnit genre. The characters were well-written and interesting and you never really know what is going to happen or how it will turn out. I read it in 2 days!

This story is cleverly crafted with some unexpected dark humour and great quotes. I wouldn't call it a fast paced page turner as it builds slowly but I think this helps to make it more sinister. I found The two main characters week drawn and intriguing and I liked the way the novel was structured. It's a clever cat and mouse type plot and it certainly kept me engrossed. It also wins the award for one of the most unique books I've read in a while which is a breath of fresh air in a saturated psychological thriller and crime market. This us the first book I have read by this author but I would definitely read more from her.

An interesting, intriguing well written book told through a refreshing lens with a clever plot and beautifully crafted narrative. I would definitely recommend.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for my advance copy.

A superb page turner that keeps you guessing tight to the end. Definitely a must read. Superbly described characters and plot.

I adored black eyed Susan’s. Was one of my favoure books from a few years ago. So I was expecting to love this story of twists and turns. Whilst the start was fantastic and the end had me on the edge of my seat, I felt like the middle got as lost as the characters did on their road trip. An amazing concept, but didn’t hit the mark for seasoned thriller lovers like myself.
