A Tangled Web..
The discovery of a doppelgänger in name only - so begins a somewhat strange friendship and bond which suddenly disintegrates with a disappearance. As shocking secrets and possible truths come to light, it may well be that nothing was real from the start. Slow burn suspense, where nothing is quite as it first appears, littered with twists and turns and a cast of credible and well drawn characters. A tangled web indeed.

A quick read, with fast-paced action all regarding two women with the same name.

Sally Jones is a kinda dumb girl next door. One day, she stumbles onto a small problem but soon digs herself deeper and deeper into something incredibly dangerous. Secrets! Betrayal! Lies!

I did enjoy the quick pace of this story, but did find that I could already guess what was going to happen. BUT, some of the twists were excellent.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Sally Jones receives emails that were accidentally sent to the wrong “Sally Jones.” When the other Sally Jones goes missing it unravels a mystery from the past.

This book is divided into 5 parts. At first I was very engaged with the story, but then it seemed obvious what was going to happen. By part three or four it got more interesting again. I did feel like much of the story was predictable, but it kept me interested enough to keep reading. It was a decent read if you’re looking for something quick and easy.

This was an interesting read and did keep me gripped. I am rating it 4 stars though as I figured out the main twist within the first few chapters so wasn't super engaged after that.

I know we all supposed to have a doppleganger but have you ever met someone with the same name... well is what Sally Jones discovered and what happens next is chilling and for a reader thrilling.

This is a book that builds slowly but is a really good read.

It is twisty and intriguing and I absolutely loved it

3.5 ⭐️. I found this story quite slow paced at times but overall a decent thriller with a good twist. Sally Jones who is on leave from work decides to go find her friend who she has been communicating with by email, the friend also named Sally Jones. But is the friend really who she says she is.... Thanks to Netgalley and Hera Books for ARC.

I enjoyed finding out part of this book was based on an identical mixup, but overall the story was a bit slow and the ending unexpected but also a bit much to be honest.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the book.

Overall a decent slow paced drama.
It did take a while to get going and i felt the ending a little far fetched.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

As someone with a common name myself I found the premise for this plausible and funny. Although as the plot got going I did think the events and reasonings of the characters were a bit odd. The plot was okay although again I thought it a bit strange in places and the actions of Sally were bizarre at times.
This book has twists in it but I had them worked out very early on so I was not surprised. I would not have minded this except I thought something could have been thrown in to inject some excitement into the latter half.
I still enjoyed this book but I was anticipating more from it.
Thank you to NetGalley and Hera Books for an advance copy.

"The Other Miss Jones" follows Sally Jones, your ordinary next-door girl simple, emotional, and maybe a bit too naive. When she stumbles into a seemingly minor problem, her obsession with solving it spirals into something far more dangerous. What starts as a simple doubt turns into a tangled web of lies, family secrets, and hidden betrayals, all leading up to her upcoming wedding—a situation that makes you feel genuinely bad for her.

The book is divided into five parts, and I have to admit the first half dragged quite a bit with minimal development. But once Part Three kicked in, the twists started unraveling, keeping me hooked as the hidden truths surfaced one by one. While the ending did manage to surprise me in some ways, I could predict certain plot points, which lessened the impact.

Overall, a decent thriller with a slow build-up but a rewarding second half. If you enjoy domestic suspense with layers of doubt and deception, this one might be worth picking up!
I would like to give it 3.5 stars!!!

I was delighted to be an ARC reader for Sophie Flynn’s latest novel, due to be published on 24th April by Hera Books.

I was drawn in from the very first page of the Prologue, found myself willing Sally to connect the dots, and wondering why she couldn’t work out what was staring her in the face!

As the book progressed, I was certain I knew what the ending would be, and was pleasantly surprised to see that I was wrong, with the biggest surprise in the epilogue.

I very much enjoyed the book, and would recommend.

This was a good quick read. Read it over a few hours and it had me page turning. The main character is slightly frustrating at the start but the ending was good. I’d definitely read more by this author too. Very enjoyable. Thanks for the early access.
