The Good Samaritan

An ITW Thriller Award finalist.

She's a friendly voice on the phone. But can you trust her?

The people who call End of the Line need hope. They need reassurance that life is worth living. But some are unlucky enough to get through to Laura. Laura doesn't want them to hope. She wants them to die.

Laura hasn't had it easy: she's survived sickness and a difficult marriage only to find herself heading for forty, unsettled and angry. She doesn't love talking to people worse off than she is. She craves it.

But now someone's on to her--Ryan, whose world falls apart when his pregnant wife ends her life, hand in hand with a stranger. Who was this man, and why did they choose to die together?

The sinister truth is within Ryan's grasp, but he has no idea of the desperate lengths Laura will go to...

Because the best thing about being a Good Samaritan is that you can get away with murder.

Another page turner

It is nearly impossible to put down a John Marrs book once you start one, and this one is no exception. But I think that I'll remember the characters in this book a lot longer than any book I've in years.

I love this book. It was suspenseful. Every time a new person was added to the mix I was surprised. Quick read but geeat.

⭐️-This entire book was S L O W. I tried both the written copy and audiobook. The audio book would put me to sleep and when physically reading…. I’d honestly forget what I read. I can’t count how many times I had to reread a line to remember what I’d read already….*sigh* or maybe I’m in a reading slump? It’s possible. I REALLY wanted to like this book. ☹️ I think the premise of the book is what kept me reading because I really had high hopes. I thought having an end of the line was a super neat idea.

Laura… oh Laura. I felt like she was kind of heartless and a bitch… lol from the beginning I was like wtf?? Bc her thought process just blew my mind….am I the only one bothered by the satisfaction she got from hearing someone’s last breath.
