The Woman on the Ledge

A twisting and turning of a corker!

I felt like I read two different stories once the twist was revealed. The transition was rather jarring, but overall a fairly good thriller.

I flew through this in less than 24 hours, so I obviously enjoyed it for the most part. It did lose me in some of the structure towards the middle of the book. I wasn't a fan of the retelling segment towards the end, and there were a few parts sprinkled throughout that drug on and could've been cut in half. You do need to suspend disbelief a bit (a lot), but I still had a great time.

Wow! How do I begin to describe the roller coaster read that is The Woman On The Ledge? To say that it is thrilling and engaging would be an understatement. This book takes the concept of plot twist and turns it on its head. Just when you think you know what's going on, the story leads you down a very different path.
I was hooked from page one, and I hated having to put the book down to do things like work, and engage with reality.
I hadn't read anything by Ruth Mancini prior to The Woman On The Ledge. Now, I really want to.
Thanks to Netgalley, Century Books and Penguin Randomhouse for the eARC of this book.
