Add a CommentToo much past and present going on. She's always thinking and talking to herself and it was very annoying. Could have done a better job with less pages.
Quite the page-turner. I was done before I knew it. The ending was a little silly but worth the couple hours of reading. I sided with the main character since she thinks like I do (hehe). Get it, it's entertaining.
Canadian author Joy Fielding’s latest book is a gripping suspense story set in the Irish city of Cork. Marcy Taggert travels to Ireland alone, seeking solace for a broken heart. Her marriage has ended after the loss of her twenty-one-year old daughter, an apparent suicide. Only her upturned canoe was found floating in Georgian Bay. Despite her family’s insistence that Devon is dead, Marcy thinks she sees her daughter on a day trip from Dublin to Cork. She returns the next day to launch a desperate search to discover the truth. She meets an assortment of interesting characters, some sinister, but the reader is never sure where this story is taking them. I haven’t read Joy Fielding’s novels in a long while, and am pleased to find that an engaging heroine and a compelling plot are still her hallmark.
Poor writing and unbelievable plot
I haven't read Fielding's last couple of books so thought I would try this one. Found the beginning quite formulaic and uninteresting so did not continue. I liked her early books but found some of the later ones very predictable and this one has not changed my mind.
I couldn't put this book down. The writing wasn't the greatest but the story was gripping. I thought the ending was rushed and a bit of a cop-out, but I'd read another by this author. Good for a quick read if you like mysteries!
Last night at Harbourfront, I attended an author reading event at which Joy Fielding read the first chapter of Now You See Her. She prefaced the reading with the hope that it would hook the audience into wanting to find out what happens next. It worked! Riveting. Can't wait to continue the story.
