A review by aratecla_the_bookrat
The Book Club by C.J. Cooper
2.0
Ok so, without any spoilers, a story of murder, secrets and small village gossip! With a Desperate Housewives vibe.
I was engrossed for two thirds of the book and then the story really dragged on, at which point I just wanted it to end and get it over with.. I hoped for a very good and satisfying ending but that wasn't delivered and when I finished the last page I was left perplexed and empty. It felt like the book kept building and building up to a climax that was never reached, leaving me really disappointed, so much so that it spoilt the book entirely.
Although the description says is a gripping psychological thriller I'd say it's more like a cosy thriller. I feel sorry because it had potential but the end ruined it for me as I expected a bit more.
