Thriller month reads

 

For Thriller month, I'm featuring some great backlists, starting with The Chain.
This quick, easy read flows along like a rushing river, & you don't want to get off.
Imagine getting a call that your child has been kidnapped, & the only way to get her back is to kidnap another child. So goes The Chain. The masterminds twins behind it upbringing/traumatic childhood development into evil may be cliché, but it's captivating nonetheless.
"George Orwell was wrong... In the future, it won't be the state that keeps that keeps tabs on everyone by extensive use of surveillance; it will be the people. They'll do they'll do the state's work for it by constantly uploading their locations, interests, food preferences, restaurant choices, political ideas, and hobbies to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media sites. We are our own secret police."

What was really eerie in The Passengers is how close we are to having fully driverless cars. Several people find their self-driving car has taken over & told them they're going to die. With cameras in the cars, it's being broadcasted worldwide for the public to decide who to kill first, & who to save. Truly terrifying stuff!

The very real lifestyle choice many uni students make to get a sugar daddy to help pay bills is fascinating. Reading about how it all came to this for one & then got terribly twisted was interesting in The Arrangement. Questionable morals & obsessive behaviors make for a gripping read.

In Woman on the Edge, when the protagonist is at the subway, a hysterical mother forces her baby into her arms & then jumps. The crazy situation she's then in, trying to figure out how she knew her, kept me quickly turning the pages. Author Samantha M. Bailey does a wonderful job writing about the strong desire to have a child, & post partum depression.
