The Note: A Novel by Alafair Burke

Three best friends meet for a holiday in the Hamptons, that goes wrong after a seemingly innocuous prank.

PW called this standalone from bestselling Burke a disappointment, while LJ says that the author’s trademark style creates suspense but her flawed characters may turn readers off. I disagree, having found this a perfect read it and forget it thriller for a one sitting read over the holidays, that cleansed my reading palate between heavier NF titles. A great book to take along on a winter holiday.
