The Gold Digger by Liz TolsmaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars 💛💛💛💛💛
This was such a great thriller and the best book I’ve yet read by this author. The author drew me in from the start with the great cast of characters she gave and the way she told the story.
I knew it was based on real events but the plot felt so twisted and gruesome, could it really be true? And then the author had me confused so many times about what happened to the men and who did it, that my head was spinning in circles about what was going on - I could probably have googled these crimes but then I would have lost the enjoyment of the journey.
And the ending was surprising and also did not feel concluded. I kept reading and feeling like something else is probably going to happen.
The romance was also secondary to the suspense story which I liked.
I’m still a bit shocked about these crimes and would probably not recommend this to sensitive readers. Though, if you love thrillers, you would love this story. For me this was the best yet in the series.
