This is the second book of Marrs that I've read. The first one was Keep It in the Family. Rated that 4.5★. Same here in The Good Samaritan,it felt like it will have a sequel, but this is a standalone. The epilogue is such a jaw-dropping one. I want to read more of his works!
TW: Suic!de thoughts and the *graphic* actual way of doing it...YES there is. (oh ghaaad), emotional abuse, manipulation, child grooming

This was very dark to the point of did I want to continue due to the main topic of the book…
However, the story itself was narrated amazingly by the two narrators. Especially Laura, she made her feel so realistic and just how like a sociopath would potentially sound like?
Can’t knock John Marrs, he’s the king of thrillers.
Just please check TW as there is a lot of talk about suicide and death.

Amazing plot twists, was kinda giving Freida vibes! Deffo gonna give some of his other books a go!
Couldn’t have guessed what was going on, although had a slight feeling she was a lot more crazy than we thought.
Extremely dark, but kinda loved it, very much intriguing!!
