Thank you to Netgalley for the Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of this book in exchange for a review/feedback.

The life and Death of Rose Doucette is a novel that follows Dylan Fisher who one day gets a call from his ex wife asking him to meet her. The story is as the title and blurb says with some twists and turns along the way.

They say don’t judge a book by its cover but in this case, I did before I read the blurb/description. I would say the cover is stunning and the blurbs/summary had sold it for me to start reading. Thankfully the story does pick up during the sixth chapter, in which case the narrative started to form cohesively and made me read without much effort to push myself for the sake of reading. I would say it has a great base and storyline that was lovely to read although I did have some things to say about it to which I will touch base below.

With that being said, there were components that I felt either needed work or I wasn’t a big fan of. Please note with some of these things, I’m not sure if it was how the book is meant to be or if it was the kindle version I had received as other works didn’t have these issues that I had with this book.

Beginning with the first few chapters, which were, in my opinion, had too slow of a pace. The story did not pick up until the sixth chapter and I was getting more invested over time, but I would have appreciated it if the main clause of the story was expedited to prior chapters. I also felt like the dialogue was occupying the page 90% of the time, with what little descriptions of the scenes leaving me wanting more but not getting any, making the experience less immersive.

Overall, this book is a well put together mystery/thriller book with intriguing components that could easily become a great book with more editing and fixes. The above is my personal opinion upon reading the book so take it with a pinch of salt.”

a compelling thriller with a very modern feel. the book kept me on the edge of the seat with all the suspense and I flew through the book. It is a very interesting read and I loved it.

With the police convinced that Dylan killed his ex-wife, he rushes to clear his name and, more importantly, find Rose's killer.
