'THE DEAD GIRL IN 2A'......AT LEAST SHE WON'T EAT YOUR PEANUTS........

The Dead Girl In 2A by Carter Wilson (2019)    Oh boy......here's another one with a back cover full of authors who bleat "I COULDN'T TURN THE PAGES FAST ENOUGH!  I STAYED UP THE ENTIRE NIGHT TO FINISH IT!!!"

                  You should remember my constant warning about author blurbs..........

                  Put them in the same category as those messages that pop up on your laptop..."CALL THIS NUMBER IMMEDIATELY OR YOUR INTERNET WILL BE CANCELLED, YOUR HOUSE AND CAR REPOSSESSED AND YOUR CHILDREN SOLD INTO SEXUAL SLAVERY!!!!"

                  Or anything that comes out of Donald Trump's mouth that ends with the words, "believe me..." or "many people are saying".......

                  So.....no, BQ did NOT stay up all night reading this. I got plenty of sleep in between chapters.  Sometimes during. 

                  I loathe and despise any and all attempts to describe thriller plots in any detail.  90 per cent of the fun comes from discovering the twists and turns for yourselves..........no matter how weird, stupid and unlikely they may be......

                 And this book piles on weird, stupid and unlikely plot twists by the truckload.......

                 The opening chapters, however, will no doubt hook you. Jake, a professional ghost writer, suffers greatly from memory losses and a crumbling marriage....... he's a tortured soul whose careless driving caused the disfigurement of his adorable young daughter......

                 On a plane to Denver to meet a new client, Jake's seated next to Clara....and the seatmates think they've met before but can't remember where, when or how......Not that it makes any difference, since Clara declares she's already picked out a scenic spot in Colorado to kill herself.......

                   Say whaaaaaaaaaaa???

                  Per BQ thriller-review policy, that's as far as I go.

                  Should you choose to dive into this book, you might tear through the first third intrigued, wondering, "where the hell is this going anyway?"

                  But as the revelations start to pop, it may also dawn on you that overall, there isn't a single moment of this story that's even remotely believable. About the only blurb adjective that would properly describe this book......."far-fetched"......and then some.

                   If you're willing to swallow the loopy-doopy storyline, by all means read on. Just don't expect to lose any sleep racing through it.......1 & 1/2 stars (* 1/2)......or as the BQ blurb reads...
....."WHACK-A-DOODLE THRILLER COULD HELP YOU KILL SOME TIME IF YOUR FLIGHT'S DELAYED.....BUT A MAGAZINE MIGHT BE CHEAPER!!"
