Three Little Lies…. that’s just my kind of book. Will certainly check it out! There’s something so addictive about psychological thrillers… the mind games, the secrets, the slow unraveling of truth. I love how they pull you in, make you question everything, and leave you thinking about the story long after the last page. And nothing beats that “didn’t see that coming” feeling!
This is a lovely bouquet of books, something that I am making a note of. All the books seem great for a weekend read. I was particularly drawn towards, “The S Code,” and, “Three Little Lies.”
I found The Intentional daughter-in-law, interesting. I am trying to understand the kind of daughter-in-law I was and my daughter-in-law, who is a Mexican. I am going to read this soon. the other boks sound like thrillers which are not on my reading list.
Absolutely loved this curated list! Each recommendation offers a unique journey. ‘Three Little Lies’ sounds especially intriguing. Thanks for these insightful picks—adding them to my reading list!
