This was a slow paced thriller full of twists and turns. Will the night editor suddenly disappears. We find Rose investigating the disappearance but Rose has her own issues to deal with.

TW : Alcoholism, sexual assault.

A fabulous read. It has a very claustrophobic feel, which really serves to ramp up the tension. Really good twists towards the end.

The idea of the book is intriguing, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me. It was still an enjoyable read, but there was just something missing that I can't quite put my finger on.

Thank you Avon Books and Netgalley for this advanced read.

This is my first book from Caroline and definitely not my last I hope.
This was all you need for a thriller / crime book and it is not what you think.
Full of twists and turns and well written and good characters.
I would definitely want to read more by this author.

I was lucky to receive an advance copy of What Happened on Floor 34 from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review and opinion. WOW! This book starts off with a bang and will keep your heart pounding until the very end. So many twists and turns and you will be shocked when it ends. Highly recommend you read this book the first opportunity you get.

I really enjoyed reading this thriller, it was a great read,.kept me on the edge of my seat. Definitely would recommend it if you like thrillers

This was a slow and steady burning read, that keeps you paging from beginning to end, and leaves you thrilled at the end! Really enjoyed the book, will read more.

I saw that this book had been described as a ‘serviceable thriller’ and I feel like that sums up my feelings exactly. While it’s not exactly a story that will stay with me, it provided what I needed it to whilst reading it - an easy to read story that gave me a need to keep reading to piece together what happened.

I thought the premise of this story was original and enjoyed the contrast of the lives of a day editor and night editor at a national newspaper. While I was definitely interested in discovering ‘What Happened on Floor 34’, it seemed like it took quite a while to actually get there - Rose’s inner thoughts became rather repetitive - although this is sufficiently explained by the end of the book.

This is the first book of Caroline’s that I’ve read and while it didn’t blow my mind, it was entertaining for sure and I’d be keen to read more of her books in the future.

Thanks to Avon Books UK & Netgalley for an EARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A claustrophobic slow-burn mystery thriller. Rose is a day editor at a London-based newspaper HQ at Canary Wharf. When her night-time counterpart Will disappears mid-shift, her search for answers is so shocking it turns the entire story inside out.

This was everything you need for a thriller and crime story. It is not as black and white as you first think and like most typical thrillers, is full of twists. This is a first for me by the author and one I enjoyed and I would read more of their work. The book cover is eye-catching and appealing and would spark my interest if in a bookshop. Thank you very much to the author, publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.

I loved THROUGH THE WALL
And
BABY GROUP
by this author so I was surprised this one didn’t thrill me or capture me like her others.

It lacked pace and pitch now and again which made me slightly eager to get to a faster pace (hopefully) as I read on. It was a bit bumpy.

Although I did enjoy following Rose on her journalism but the actual plot behind all that fell a little short for me personally.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of What Happened On Floor 34?. I was happy that my request to review this book was approved, and I received this e-book for free in exchange for my honest review.

I was intrigued by this novel and couldn't read it fast enough . . . it was that engrossing. There were twists and turns galore towards the last twenty-five percent of the book that had my heart pounding. Once I got to the end, I was sorely upset at the ending. I'm not going to go into detail as that would give the story away, but I'd be interested to know if anyone else hated the ending.

There were things in What Happened On Floor 34? that were reminiscent of The Girl on the Train by Rachel Hawkins . . . namely the main character having a drinking problem. It also has similar pacing. Fair warning, this book does deal with sexual assault, so it may not be for everyone.

Most of the characters that were likable and some that were not. However, by the end of the story there were a few that I ended up disliking immensely. I love the setting of the story, and it definitely left me feeling uneasy while reading it late at night. I would have loved it had it been storming while I read the story because it would have given the story additional ambiance.

All in all, I'd give What Happened On Floor 34? by Caroline Corcoran four out of five stars, and I look forward to reading more novels by this author.

2.5 rounded up. This book had so much potential but found it repetitive and I’m still not clear on the ending 😅

Wow what have I just read? Caroline Corcoran is an author who should be on every shelf.

“ I’ll tell you where you don’t want to be when you are scared for your life and about to run: on the thirty-fourth foor of an empty Canary Wharf tower block. I’ll tell you what time you don’t want it to be too, for that matter: 2 a.m. “

Corcoran really sets the scene from the beginning of this book. The tension oozes from the pages and I’ve been hooked from the beginning.

I’ve read all of this author’s books and this is high on the list of favourites. This is unpredictable and completely captivating from the get go. I found this completely different and unpredictable.

Rose is an unpredictable narrator and I’ve had mixed opinions throughout this book. Corcoran has definitely kept me on the edge of my seat with this one. This is one of those books filled with twists and unpredictability.

The setting of this really shows the author’s knowledge of the industry. It has added an extra element to reading and the been slightly haunting from the beginning. This is a book I have devoured.

Whilst some readers may be put off get the trigger of Rape, I have to admire the author’s sensitivity whilst handling the subject. The portrayal is authentic and you can’t help but feel for the character.

I adore this author and this is a must read. I have devoured page after page in just one sitting. A brilliant book that I highly recommend.

I’ve read other books by this author, so was keen to read this one. We get caught up in the world of journalism and newspapers when we are introduced to Rose who is the day editor of a London newspaper. When the night editor, Will disappears Rose finds herself investigating his disappearance. This did sound like a really good thriller and whilst I enjoyed it, it did seem a little slow in parts. I really enjoyed following Rose through her job and found the newspaper life exciting. Unfortunately, the thrill of the investigation in Will’s disappearance was not as exciting and I felt like I was left wanting more on several occasions. It wasn’t a bad read, but it wasn’t as good as I thought it was going to be.

There were some great twists in this one but I didnt enjoy the pace. It was just to slow. I also felt the synopsis was just didnt potray what the book was actually about.

An intriguing plot where you will have to climb every single step to the 34 floor to find out what happened. Rose is an interesting main character, dealing with the disappearance of her colleague and her new role as the night editor while trying to find out what has happened. Some good twist and some that just didn’t feel necessary it was a 3* read for me.

I found the pace of this book to be way too slow for my liking. Rose is an editor at the newspaper. She works directly with a man named Will who she never has met but trades information with as he works her job exact position but at night. Will is found dead and Rose is determined to figure out what happened.

This was a really intriguing read that kept me turning the pages.
The scenario, the scary position that Rose, the Day Editor puts herself into to find out what happened when her colleague, the Night Editor disappeared. Some unexpected twists throughot the book.
And what a twist at the end!!
Thank you to NetGalley, Avon Books and Caroline Corocan for an ARC in return for an honest review

Rose is an editor who has a counterpart called Will. They work different shifts so rarely cross paths. When Will disappears Rose steps up to help out. Rose wants to uncover the truth and she becomes obsessed in finding out the truth. She is a caffeine addicted stereotypical journalist who can be annoying at times. The pace was a little slow for my liking.
