The blurb promises an unsavoury character on dating sites but this is only featured in about 20% of the book. I also thought he was a bit 2-dimensional and lacked substance. The rest is about Paige’s relationships with her mother Joan, her cousin Heather and best friend Chloe. I thought it was a bit misleading in that respect.

Descriptions of the advertising roles and instructions on how to play bridge were a little unnecessary and I feel did not add to the story.

However, all this aside, even though I sort of guessed where the ending was headed it certainly did not disappoint. I would love to know what lies in the future for these characters and I hope for a sequel. Fingers crossed!

Rating: 3/5

After the unexpected reveal in the first chapter I was drawn into the story immediately and found it a fast, easy read both entertaining and undemanding.
Highlighting the dangers of online dating and the emotional turmoil of choosing a date, there’s enough in this book to put me off online dating websites for life, if I was so inclined. The fact that most profiles are nearly always fake or embellished with false detail, it really does make you stop and think, who it is you’re agreeing to meet in ‘real’ life after chatting through social media.
I liked how the chapters were written through the different perspectives of the women protagonists with the odd one interspersed from the killer, though I personally would have liked more from him and more detail of his actions. There were some chillingly tense and very unsettling moments scattered about but maybe not enough of them to say this story was full of tension and fear. I also felt there was maybe a touch too long between his chapters to keep the tension mounting.
I don’t think this story is meant to be a serious physiological thriller but a more of a lighthearted look at the dangers of online dating, the bitchiness of women and the arrogance of good looking men who are constantly depicted as players, incorporating a brutal serial killer into the story.
This is the second book I’ve read of late that have portrayed men in a very bad light along with the gullible and helpless women of said men. I’m not sure I took to any of the characters, Joan was perhaps the most realistic, venturing back onto the dating scene after the death of her husband, although I’m not sure I could picture a seventy year old woman with half her hair shaved off.
“All the Wrong Places” kept me entertained and turning the pages and I can’t ask for much more than that from a book, it was fun, satirical, at times tense and had an ending that was very apt. Joy Fielding is an excellent writer whose books I have enjoyed before and I would definitely seek out more by her again.

4 stars

The dangers of modern dating are the subject of Fielding’s newest book. Four women download a dating app hoping for a happy ever after, or at least another chance at love. Mr. Right Now says and does all the right things, he’s handsome and charming….until he has his date alone. Then he becomes a monster. And one of the women has swiped right on his profile and now may become his victim instead of his date. Sadly, this fictional story could well be true. A reminder that online dating is a dangerous business indeed

Seriously addictive reading!

A crime thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Told from various points of view, it is fast paced and gets hearts racing.

Full review to come on my blog soon.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bonner Zaffre for the chance to read this book and leave a review.
I have quite a lot of friends who met their partners this way so was interested to read about others experiences.
Interesting reading about Paige, her mother Joan, her friend Chloe and Chloe's husband Matt and their different takes on online matchmaking.
At times the level of "romance" was a little too much but the twists of Mr Right Now was very well introduced.
Paige's cousin Heather is a nasty piece of work and wants everything Paige has too. This might well not work in her favour just for once.
An easy read , not hard to follow and perhaps a little predictable.

It's been a long time since I read a book by Joy Fielding and she is still as good as I remember. A great thriller, with not everything predictable!

The last time I read Joy Fielding I was 15 and discovered her books in my local library. See Jane Run is the one that made the biggest impression but I remember enjoying all of her books.

All the Wrong Places makes a nice holiday read. It's not the most gripping novel I've ever read but at the same time I was curious to see how the story ended for all the characters. There's a serial killer hiding behind an online dating profile, Paige who recently broke up with her boyfriend after he cheated on her with her cousin, Paige's mum Joan who is widowed and also looking for love, Paige's friend Chloe who is fed up with her husband who can't keep it in his pants, and to make it even more fun, Paige's cousin Heather who has been copying Paige all her life, trying to be as successful as Paige but often falling short.

Many thanks to NetGalley for my review copy in exchange for an honest review.

"All The Wrong Places" is a perfect concoction of crime and women's fiction. It's a quick, engaging read which turned out to be even better than I anticipated. Haven't read Joy Fielding's work before but I certainly will again. A thrilling read!

Four women, some even strangers to one another are inexplicably linked with a handsome, charismatic serial killer, who meets women through a dating website. Together the women are finding their way to true love, but one of them has made a date with the devil. 


Oh My Word this book was fantastic. So much so I have just bought another five of Fielding’s books. This was a fantastic and terrifyingly real horror story of online dating and the dangers of putting your whole life online. Told from multiple POV’s, including the killer himself, this book was honest and insightful and at other times suspenseful and terrifying. Highly Highly recommend this book. This is out now, released in  March 2019.

I have read other books by this author and have found them to be intriguing reads with many twists and turns. This is one author I will always want to read and this book just adds to that.

The story is told from different narrators and I thoroughly enjoyed the switching around and, for me, it added to the power of the read by making it terrifying in places.

Although essentially a story about online dating and some of the less pleasant aspects, including some horrifying outcomes, it is more than that. The subject is treated cleverly and allows the reader to become embroiled in mess it can create.

Thank you to NetGalley, Bonnier Zaffre and Joy Fielding for my ARC in return for my honest review.

** spoiler alert ** 3.5 stars

I can't lie,I saw exactly where this was going fairly early on... but I still enjoyed the ride getting to the end.
A very good cautionary tale on the downside of online dating... I mean these ladies have the sense to agree to meet in a crowded bar,but head off with stranger minutes later because he looks good.
I like the multiple narration,I always like when we have a coherent killer narrating too.
I do have to wonder though,why do the characters never have more than 1 friend???
All in all,I think this is a book where justice is served,and ALMOST everyone landed up where they should.

I found this book an easy enough read but also lacking in much tension. The twists were fairly predictable and I didn’t feel particularly involved with the characters. Rather an anticlimactic ending, finishing with a whimper rather than a bang !

All The Wrong Places Just wasn’t my cup of tea. Rarely do I get to the point with a story where I can’t go on reading anymore.
I had to suspend believability to even try and get through this and in the end I just couldn’t go any further. I stopped reading around the 60% mark since I just found it slow.
