Why read it?

1 author picked The Day She Died as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a psychological thriller about a woman who finds herself in a disturbing situation and isn’t really sure how she got there. Like all good plot-twisted novels, this one didn’t need the surprise revelation(s) at the end to be a compelling and immersive read, so when it comes, it feels like the cherry on top of a really creepy sundae.

The narrator's voice is compelling, especially if you enjoy Scottish-isms that feel fresh if you read mostly American authors.
