Summary

When a body is presumed to be her missing husband’s, a woman must unravel the secrets of her own past to clear her name, find the truth, and put her conscience to rest once and for all。 All Ruby wanted was a fresh start。 But after an early retirement and a relocation to a tight-knit community with her husband, Tom, and her daughter, Lily, her new beginning takes a turn。 First her troubled daughter and then her husband disappear without a trace。 Unsure how to cope, grief-ridden Ruby turns to her neighborhood friends to find a way forward with new hobbies, including a murder club where they try to solve cold cases。 But just as unexpectedly as her family vanished, a body floats to the surface of the nearby lake。 And everyone is sure the body belongs to Tom…everyone except Ruby。 Determined to find out what happened to her family once and for all, Ruby digs into her neighbors’ lives, and her own, only to uncover secrets that raise more questions than they answer。 And the biggest question of all—why doesn’t she recognize the body?

wowThis book was fantastic。 My first time reading this author! I will be reading everything she wrote! A definite must read!

Cassie

Loved how fast the story progressed but the plot got so convoluted。

Mandy Woolfries

great readReally great read that kept you guessing right until the end。 Was an easy read as well so even with the twists you didn’t need a scorecard to keep track of everything。

Don't Forget Me by Rea Frey was my Kindle First Reads selection for February 2024。。。 This book was non-stop action and suspense and alternated between past and present with equal intensity and intrigue。 I can't say that I didn't have a hunch who was the wielder of the murder weapon, but it was still a lot of fun getting to that bloody conclusion。 There were mysteries stacked upon mysteries and a whole host of suspicious characters, with the most suspicious of all being the first-person narrator Don't Forget Me by Rea Frey was my Kindle First Reads selection for February 2024。。。 This book was non-stop action and suspense and alternated between past and present with equal intensity and intrigue。 I can't say that I didn't have a hunch who was the wielder of the murder weapon, but it was still a lot of fun getting to that bloody conclusion。 There were mysteries stacked upon mysteries and a whole host of suspicious characters, with the most suspicious of all being the first-person narrator herself--which is always something I love in a thriller。 I'm glad I picked this one。 😉 。。。more

Beauty&ABooksie!I really enjoyed this one。 I liked the flow from past to present。 There was a surprise moment for me about 60% in, that I wasn't expecting。 I do admit, I called the big reveal moment, though。 I definitely say read it! See if you can solve the case ;) Beauty&ABooksie!I really enjoyed this one。 I liked the flow from past to present。 There was a surprise moment for me about 60% in, that I wasn't expecting。 I do admit, I called the big reveal moment, though。 I definitely say read it!

As I began reading this book I was quickly drawn into the plot and the characters, but in short order things started to fall apart。 It became very complicated and for me disjointed。

Great ThrillerIf you enjoy relaxing sometimes with an escapists novel, this is a great one to choose。 The plot - a psychological thriller - draws you in and keeps you guessing。 It was a perfect read to get lost in on rainy Saturday afternoon。

Grant Ashley

Twisted characters and twisted plots。This is a real psychological thriller, and it completely had me unable to guess what was going on right until the end。

Claudia

This was my first Kindle Unlimited book。 I wasn't sure what to expect。 It's a very easy read and I could have finished it much sooner if I had the time。 But it was interesting。 It was even more so because of a court case I saw recently。 This was my first Kindle Unlimited book。 I wasn't sure what to expect。 It's a very easy read and I could have finished it much sooner if I had the time。 But it was interesting。 It was even more so because of a court case I saw recently。 。。。more

enjoyed itIt is an interesting story with a lot of twists and turns。 I would describe it as a dark psychological thriller- with possible triggers because of the domestic violence scenes。

3。5 stars。 I had to take half a star away because the author seems to believe that online neighborhood forums are like group texts or old-school chat rooms。 “Nashvegasart has left the conversation。” Aside from that and the use of the word “bribe” when she meant “blackmail” I very much enjoyed this book。 I nearly couldn’t put it down。 Two of the perhaps too many twists shocked me。 I audibly gasped at one point。 I enjoyed that there were many cheesy and overdone things the author could have done a 3。5 stars。 I had to take half a star away because the author seems to believe that online neighborhood forums are like group texts or old-school chat rooms。 “Nashvegasart has left the conversation。” Aside from that and the use of the word “bribe” when she meant “blackmail” I very much enjoyed this book。 I nearly couldn’t put it down。 Two of the perhaps too many twists shocked me。 I audibly gasped at one point。 I enjoyed that there were many cheesy and overdone things the author could have done and didn’t。 It’s definitely not the best of the genre but not every book needs to be exceptional。 What I was looking for was entertaining and it did a great job of that。 。。。more

Would’ve enjoyed this book a lot more if the author hadn’t used the word “vacillating” so many times。

Susan Peterson

I don’t read a lot of thrillers, but I’m a longtime fan of Rea Frey’s writing—she didn’t disappoint。 This book is chilling and gripping—a murder mystery, a family drama centered around the horrors of domestic abuse。 I was on the edge of my seat as everything unfolded, almost scared to find out what would happen and what would be revealed next。 There were so many ways this story could have gone, and ultimately the ending was as alarming as the crime itself。

I thought this was a good choice for this month's Amazon first reads but, I was wrong。 This was confusing and boring。 I really struggled with it。 Hoping for better next month。 I thought this was a good choice for this month's Amazon first reads but, I was wrong。 This was confusing and boring。 I really struggled with it。 Hoping for better next month。 。。。more

Poignant, emotional, and yet marvelously malevolent, Don’t Forget Me is written with Frey’s traditional gorgeous prose while simultaneously being suffused with dread。 The final outcome is deeply shocking and terrifying。 Certain to keep readers turning the pages!

2。5 stars。 A very interesting premise: Ruby, a former trauma nurse, finds a body in a neighborhood lake, which virtually all in the neighborhood identify as her missing husband, Tom — that is, all in the neighborhood except Ruby。 So, Ruby becomes the chief suspect in this murder。 The story progresses as Ruby tries not only to eliminate herself from suspicion but also to find out the truth of whose body she found and where her husband could be — and, as an added twist, where her missing daughter 2。5 stars。 A very interesting premise: Ruby, a former trauma nurse, finds a body in a neighborhood lake, which virtually all in the neighborhood identify as her missing husband, Tom — that is, all in the neighborhood except Ruby。 So, Ruby becomes the chief suspect in this murder。 The story progresses as Ruby tries not only to eliminate herself from suspicion but also to find out the truth of whose body she found and where her husband could be — and, as an added twist, where her missing daughter is and why she disappeared。 This was definitely a page turner and really kept my interest until about the last 25% of the book when many things went unexplained, the revelations began to lose all credibility, and the ending really jumped the shark (even though I had long suspected who the murderer was)。 Overall, I was disappointed in the last portion of this novel, which dampened my enthusiasm for the book as a whole, but I would try another written by Rea Frey because of the good reviews her books seem to get。 Thanks to the publisher and to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC。 。。。more

3。5⭐ This was a decent twisty read。 There are plenty of unexpected revelations。 I found the story suspenseful and I never felt bored。 Parts of it felt a little unbelievable or maybe requiring you to suspend disbelief。 I liked how it ended。 I enjoyed the writing and plot。 Out March 1。 Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for the gifted copy。 All opinions are my own。

Good grief! Wow! This is everything I ever want in a thriller! I truly couldn’t put it down。 I loved the author’s style of writing and the characters! Again…just wow!

I'm torn in my rating of this book。 One the one hand I thought the writing was good and flowed well and the first 75% or so I was hooked, but after that it just got a little repetitive and less and less believable。 I'm torn in my rating of this book。 One the one hand I thought the writing was good and flowed well and the first 75% or so I was hooked, but after that it just got a little repetitive and less and less believable。 。。。more

When Ruby’s husband, Tom, decided relocating to the suburbs to build their dream house was their next move, she didn’t exactly put up a fight。 Cottage Grove seems like the perfect community—both friendly and safe as well as idyllically picturesque。 Besides, after years as a trauma nurse, Ruby’s recent retirement means she no longer needs to be in the city center, so a new start might be just what she, Tom, and their daughter, Lily, need。Just months after arriving in their new home, however, Lily When Ruby’s husband, Tom, decided relocating to the suburbs to build their dream house was their next move, she didn’t exactly put up a fight。 Cottage Grove seems like the perfect community—both friendly and safe as well as idyllically picturesque。 Besides, after years as a trauma nurse, Ruby’s recent retirement means she no longer needs to be in the city center, so a new start might be just what she, Tom, and their daughter, Lily, need。Just months after arriving in their new home, however, Lily and then Tom disappear。 Ruby knows that her daughter has plenty of problems, but to vanish seems rather dramatic。 Suddenly alone in a big, empty house, she turns to the neighborhood true crime group as a distraction。 Known as the Murderlings, they get together regularly and dig into cold cases。 If nothing else, it’s something Ruby shows a definite knack for。Until, that is, crime comes knocking on Ruby’s door。 While out rowing one morning, a body floats to the surface of the Cottage Grove lake。 Shocked and confused, she immediately calls the police。 It doesn’t take long, however, for the attention to land directly on Ruby。 It seems that all of her neighbors have identified the victim as Tom—a likeness that Ruby can’t see。 Is she kidding herself? Or is there something decidedly more sinister going on?As the police set their sights firmly on Ruby as their prime suspect, she decides she must search out the truth for herself。 But with every turn Ruby seems to uncover new secrets。 Secrets that only raise more questions than answers。 After all, her friends aren’t the only ones hiding things behind their opulent doors。 Ruby has her own skeletons buried in her past。 Several, in fact, that she’d do almost anything to keep shrouded from view。 Is Tom really the dead man in the lake? And why does everyone think she is the killer?Oh。 My。 God。 Don’t Forget Me was one truly brilliant mind f*** of a book。 Starting off as one thing and slowly morphing first in one direction and then another, the final reveal quite literally took my breath away like few others have。 Action-packed yet also filled with plenty of gritty topicswell-written premise and ingeniously linked subplots。 Ultimately, despite a few tiny flaws, my eyes were riveted to the pages as my thumb swiped left at what was record speed。The plot on this one was, for the most part, an absolute hole in one。 Finely layered as the past intertwined with the present, the storyline had plenty of twists and turns—none of which I was able to see through。 Add in the heaps of red herrings and the possible unreliable narrator and my mind was well and truly blown。 Told in dual timelines of then and now, the shifting plot kept me firmly in suspense until the timely—and shocking—reveal。As for those characters, Ruby was a dynamite hit。 Potentially an unreliable narrator since she even doubted herself, she was hard to pin down。 At the same time, I could absolutely relate to some of her actions。 Others, well, they went a little beyond what I could see myself doing。 As for the rest of the cast of characters, most were only vaguely described。 I would’ve loved to learn more about Daisy and the rest of the Murderlings as how often do you find a group of true crime fanatics within a murder mystery plot?The biggest bee in my bonnet, however, was the very over-the-top turn that the story took as the bodies began to pile up。 Requiring quite the suspension of disbelief, the first and second halves of the book were hard to tally together。 After all, what was a certain five star beginning quickly went off the rails。 In the end, though, I still was utterly spellbound as I raced through the pages, so, ultimately, I guess my hang up was relatively minor。All said and done, this domestic thriller had me gasping out loud—especially when I reached that thrilling last page。 Ending with quite the bang, I’m praying this is just book one of a series。 After all, there are just so many delicious directions in which this one could go。 Stuffed to the brim with long held secrets, well-perfected lies, and all-consuming guilt, this is not one to be missed。 How I overlooked Rea Frey until now is the ultimate question。 All I know is, I’m overjoyed at the prospect of digging into her backlist ASAP。 Rating of 4 stars。Thank you to Rea Frey, Thomas & Mercer, and NetGalley, and Thriller Book Lovers Promotions for my complimentary copy。 All opinions are my own。PUB DATE: March 1, 2024Trigger warning: domestic abuse, mental health problems, drug addiction, mention of: infidelity, hit-and-run car accident, suicide 。。。more

Really loved this book。 Wasn’t expecting the ending and really looking forward to reading this authors other work。 Very easy read and like the idea of a group that comes together to solve fake murders that was a new and interesting thing to see in a book

The last chapter is the best chapter in this book! Wow, what a punch!Not to say the rest isn't good, it's just the last is outstanding。 A body shows up in a lake in a small community and then Ruby's secrets start to come unraveled。 It seems like the more secrets revealed, the more the body count goes up and Ruby seems to be the one person they all have in common!

I didn't love the way this was written。 Told between chapters from "then" and "now" I didn't feel like the chapters always ended in the appropriate place, causing some confusion。 Maybe the author wanted that confusion, but I had to go back and look a few times to see which timeline I was on because they bled together at times, especially in talking about Lily and her disappearance。 I wouldn't call Ruby an outright unreliable narrator, she's just been living with so many secrets for so long she's a pro at withholding info。 Overall I enjoyed the story, the pacing kept me interested, and the secrets kept coming。 I would for sure read this author again。 。。。more

This is my 6th book by Rea Frey so when I see a new book of hers coming out, I immediately want it。 So happy NetGalley and the publisher sent it my way for my honest review。 This had a lot of suspense to it, all till the end。 It’s actually her very first thriller and she did a great job with it! That ending! Wow!!! I really enjoyed it!

My opinion- This was so bad。 I just couldn't like anything - the writing, the characters and the only obvious twist。Review: ⚠️ Domestic abuse, drug use, violence, murder, mental illnessRuby finds a body, which, according to the neighbourhood belongs to her missing husband。 Her daughter also went missing and so the detective and neighbours are suspecting Ruby。 She needs to find the truth keeping her secrets hidden。 The book had a good start with a potential plot but lacked smooth storytelling and My opinion- This was so bad。 I just couldn't like anything - the writing, the characters and the only obvious twist。Review: ⚠️ Domestic abuse, drug use, violence, murder, mental illnessRuby finds a body, which, according to the neighbourhood belongs to her missing husband。 Her daughter also went missing and so the detective and neighbours are suspecting Ruby。 She needs to find the truth keeping her secrets hidden。 The book had a good start with a potential plot but lacked smooth storytelling and the thriller aspect。 The writing is poor, the scenes are not completed, and we jump into different times without giving clear information about each incident。 There are lots of plot holes, many incidents are happening too conveniently。 I didn't connect with a single character。 Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for providing the arc in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
