5⭐️ HANDS DOWN!!
This was my first book from Katherine and I need to read more!!! The twists are phenomenal and the end just left you saying WHAT!!! You’d never know!🫣

I really enjoyed the added new articles and comments throughout the book based on what was occurring for Alice and her family. It made the story even that more interesting and tied in so well!

I’m so grateful to receive an ARC from Simon and Schuster and Netgalley! I can’t wait to dive into another thriller by Katherine🔪

The Break-In is an incredibly suspenseful, immersive, heartbreaking, and delicious thriller. It’ll make you question the moral dilemma Alice is facing and think about what you would do in self defence? There are lies, deception, and a domestic side to the story that’s just as twisted. The twists in this book make the Break-In itself seem like child’s play.

I really enjoyed the “court of public opinion” angle we got in this book. Some of my favourite things in crime thrillers are news articles and comment threads that give you outside perspectives. Goes to show the world is harsh when they don’t know the full story.

📕 Thank you Simon & Schuster and NetGalley for an ARC of this book. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to read this one ahead of its release on August 26, 2025!

The Break-In is gripping from start to finish.

It is a wealth of secrets, lies, murder, family and so much more.

Catherine and Jamie have a break in at their home and when Catherine defends the children by hitting the intruder over the head, their life is forever changed.

He dies.

Will the police charge her or is it self defense.

The public is not a forgiving one.

Katherine Faulkner weaves in a multitude of twists and turns, red herrings that will have you guessing to the end.

Everytime I got complacent and said I know where this is going, I was so very wrong.

The jaw dropping twists kept on coming to the very last page and the ending was perfect.

Don't miss The Break-In but I will warn you its so very hard to put down.

Thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Canada/Simon & Schuster for a heart pounding read.

I received this advance readers copy for free in exchange for my honest feedback. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy this thriller. This book kept me guessing right to the end! Also my first book I ever read from Katherine Faulkner and excited to read her other work!
