Now You See Her: The bestselling Richard & Judy favourite

Product Information

Secrets can ruin everything. The problem was that Jeanine's secrets were not the only ones that would affect what was happening. As Jeanine learns more about her husband's past, she realizes that she needs to get away and the Jump Killer could be the perfect way of getting away, if only she could duplicate the pattern. This book unfolds in two time frames…. the ‘now’ when we meet Charlotte in a police interview; and the ‘then’ just a few weeks before as her best friend Harriet drops 4yr old Alice off for Charlotte to babysit. An over-protective mother, it’s the first time Harriet’s been away from Alice so Charlotte’s pleased her friend’s entrusted her with her daughter. Let me start off by saying that I never read James Patterson Novels. It's not that I don't like his books, it's just that "suspense thrillers" are not my genre of choice. My main reason for reading "Now You See Her" was to bond with my boyfriend. His whole library is filled with suspense thrillers.

Now You See Her by James Patterson | Goodreads

Football Association council member John Lewis, who refereed a match, was far from alone in thinking it was "not a game suitable for women, and if they continue to play during the war I hope they will cease doing so when the peace is declared". Nina's secret life began 18 years ago. She had looks to die for, a handsome police-officer husband, and a carefree life in Key West. When she learned she was pregnant with their first child, her happiness was almost overwhelming. But Nina's world is shattered when she unearths a terrible secret that causes her to run for her life and change her identity. But, the story STILL was dragging for me. And.. the ending seemed to be rushed to me... I'm not sure where the author was going at the final end? Honestly in the last chapter... I was holding on to a final grasp of a twist... and it just ended?Title: Appealing, suspenseful, intriguing and absolutely love how the title plays so fittingly into storyline. Jacquelyn Mitchard’s first novel, The Deep End of the Ocean, was named by USA Today as one of the ten most influential books of the past 25 years – second only to the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling (but second by a long shot, it must be said.) AMELIA has always felt like a happy life is just out of reach. Having moved every few years with her mom and sister, she’s always had a hard time making and keeping friends; there’s never enough time, and never enough money to stay in one place. And now, in her senior year, right before tennis season, Mom wants to move again. Half of the book reveals Nina’s past. The other half of the book flash forwards to Nina’s present, as the demons from her past begin to catch up to her. In “Now you see her,” James Patterson tells the story of a mysterious woman named Nina, who’s running away from her old life and secrets which can ruin her life in the present. The story starts off when Nina, a single mom, shows a video recording to her sixteen-year-old daughter of her father wishing her a happy birthday. Only it’s not her father, but an actor hired by Nina. For whatever reason, Nina does not want her daughter to know the truth.

Overall, if you are looking for a well-executed and unsettling psychological thriller, give this one a try. Review Summary: Shallow, cheap mystery with an extremely outdated and overused plot and a dissatisfying and irrelevant conclusion. If you're really that curious about how this story will play out, just read the first and last parts; everything in between is not necessary, entertaining, or thrilling. Otherwise, I'd avoid this book altogether. It’s now fifteen years later and Jeanine has morphed into Nina Bloom, after faking her death. Her life in New York is once again pretty normal-seeming. Well, that’s no fun. Several things are tossed into her path and off to Key West she once again must return. This time it’s to save a man on death row and of course, bad-boy Peter is right in the middle of it all.

Advance Praise

In a world full of psychological thrillers about missing girls, this is probably the only one that stands out on its own and reigns them all! This is one of those bang through books you can't put down where everyone is hiding something, Heidi Perks writes with an instinctive knowledge of how to keep the reader enthralled and dissects her characters along the way until you see them clearly.” As contemporary as the rest of the plot maybe, this is in no shape or form contemporary, and seems a litttttle unoriginal. The story is full of numerous twist & turns. It has a bunch of unrealistic coincidences and at times it's predictable. Half way through my read, I thought: "Nina needs a love interest," and sure enough, enter: Lawyer Charlie Baylor. There were times when I was at the edge of my seat wondering what to expect next. All of this thrown together, made for me a fun read!

Now You See Her by James Patterson, Michael Ledwidge

As for the main character, I don't know that I liked her. For somebody who spent her time watching other people with mental illness, I think she could have used some counselling. I want to preface the rest of this review by saying, this book PROBABLY wasn't for me. Just reading the summary made me groan internally. Her pet peeves are known authors and editors who cannot and will not learn the difference between “lie” and “lay” and family signs pluralized with apostrophes. I first have to explain that I am a HUGE Patterson fan, but also a HUGE Patterson critic when it comes to his co-written books. There has been much speculation over the years about how much input Patterson has with these books and in my opinion some of his most recent work was diabolical, leaving me to wonder if he even glanced at them, let alone co-written them.I found this book and thought it had an intriguing plot, I hadn’t read a body switch book in a while and thought it would be a short, sweet book I could read in a day. It was.

Now you see her - BBC

Marcy's has experienced feelings of unrelenting guilt since her mother committed suicide several years ago, and now with her daughter's death these feelings have escalated. Like most people who lose a loved one Marcy continually carries on internal conversations in which she relives every unkind thing she has ever said or done to her mother and her daughter. Normal, right??Besides its unbelievability, the story also fell short for its predictability too. But, perhaps, I'm just born intuitive, so I couldn't blame the writers for it. The Deep End of the Ocean was chosen as the first novel in the book club made famous by the TV host Oprah Winfrey, and transformed into a feature film produced by and starring Michelle Pfeiffer. Did a fist pump at the end of the story and had a big smile on my face after reading the epilog. First time in a while for a JP book. Heidi Perks has delivered a first rate domestic thriller. Now You See Her is a taut, fast paced tale which keeps you guessing and is full of unexpected twists." I loved the twists in this thriller and found myself getting annoyed with one of the characters, but that made it all the more enjoyable."
