I think you'll enjoy that, Janet!"


I remembered your review, Brenda, and looked it up again. I see you've read his previous works too which made up my mind. I got turned down on Netgalley for this one so was really pleased to get it how I did.

Aymen Ben cheikh Hello! I went to the bookstore :D Got me two Guillaume Musso's books, "Parce que je t'aime" I started this one on my tablet and loved what I ve read, and "Central Park", I didn't plan to pick this one, but sometimes you see the cover, then read the synopsis, then open your wallet to see if you have enough money :)

Rhonda: Good idea. I have read quite a few of his books and enjoyed them. I also want to read Broken Promise. Did you know this was a trilogy? Broken Promise is the first then Far From True and The Twenty Three.

Ter'e Crow Lindsay (terecrow) | 798 comments Well, I tried to read Linwood Barclay's Broken Promise. It was a slow beginning --- but once we got to the 23 dead squirrels ---- I knew this book was not for me. I am used to a book moving along - you know, kidnappings, blood, guts, guns.......you know.....THRILLERS!!!!
Broken Promise will find a new home.
I started reading Orphan X!!!!!! YES! YES! YES!! Love it.
