Madeleine Henry
The world’s most famous author has vanished. A thrilling hunt of mind games and twisting suspense begins when a detective sees evidence written into her novel.
Detective Nina Travers is so good at her job that she blends in like a benevolent Tom Ripley. She can be anyone. She can be no one. Nina wants to be someone. Her new case will finally get her noticed.
Bestselling author Claire Ross has disappeared from the Hamptons on her wedding day. How tragic that the author of an epic romance that captured the heart, soul, and imagination of the world should suddenly vanish on the happiest day of her life. Claire’s distraught family and friends, her mystified fiancé, and her zealous online fans all have their theories—from the sinister to the hopeful. Nina’s job is to find the truth, and she’s pursuing an angle that no one else has explored. She’s looking for a trail of clues in Claire’s novel.
Reading between its haunting lines, Nina follows a spiraling path of secret love, obsession, and death. What Nina finds is so shocking even she never saw it coming.

Critic reviews
“[A] cunning debut thriller…Just as Henry seems to be leading readers down one path, she veers in a wholly unexpected direction, delivering a welcome jolt to an already effective mystery. Sharp observations on toxic fan culture and a basketful of literary easter eggs are icing on the cake. This delivers.”—Publishers Weekly
“Fans of twisty psychological suspense, especially those who enjoy literary references, will find it hard to put down.”—Booklist
“My Favorite Terrible Thing is one of my favorite books of the year! Insightful, emotional, and utterly surprising, I devoured this deeply psychological novel in one sitting and immediately wanted to read it again. Madeleine Henry is brilliant!”—Wendy Walker, bestselling author of What Remains

Surprise ending
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
About 1/2 way through the story takes a major left turn and never recovers. It gets completely unrealistic, the protagonist is an unreliable narrator and the story lacks enough information to allow any form of truth to show through. None of the characters are likable nor are they relatable. The “twist” was easy to see from a mile off.
The only thing good about this experience was that it was free so I didn’t spend any money on it.
It had so much potential

Better than most of the "mystery" books being made today, where there is no mystery at all.

Orange juice that was aggressively, bright! Pepperoni coins.
The author was trying to portray the wealthy with adjectives that l personally felt were ridiculous.
Mr. Dawe does not do that many Mysteries anymore hence me trying this author out. I have over 125 of Ms Dawes books and l am going to re listen to those to re capture the joy of a well edited book.
Were my comments of help?
