This was a quick and easy read.

I wanted to keep reading to learn about each name on the list and how they were connected, if they were.
Then the people on the list started showing up dead and I found myself question by who. What for?
There was a twist that I didn't see coming but it made the book/storyline that much better.

Then there was another twist at the end of the book! Which I was extremely happy for!

I was able to connect with some of the characters but not all of them.

I would recommend you read this book when it comes out! I will be looking to read more of his books!

Nine Lives is a brilliantly-written thriller! It was captivating and a wild ride that I highly recommend.

Psychological suspense that conceals mysterious secrets linked to nine random names on a list. Nine people get a piece of mail, listing nine names, theirs included. Is it junk mail or something more sinister?

This story grabbed me immediately. When I wasn’t reading it, I was thinking about it. The format was intriguing and my mind was scrambling for clues. One event almost damaged my opinion of the book, but the author rectified it to my satisfaction, lol.

Don’t miss this page-turner by Peter Swanson.

Sincere thanks to William Morrow for providing this complimentary ARC through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

One list. Nine names. Nine murders. Are they connected? I’ll let you figure that out for yourself.
