I had the opportunity to listen to an advanced audio of Guess Again by Charlie Donlea, thanks to NetGalley and RBMedia. This gripping thriller follows Ethan Hall as he attempts to move forward from a haunting past involving child abductions and murder.
This was my first book by Donlea, and I was immediately drawn in by the compelling writing and well-woven characters. The pacing, suspense, and unexpected twists kept me hooked from start to finish. I’m excited to read more from this author—Donlea has a real talent for crafting a tense, layered story that stays with you.

Go into this one blind if you can. This is a twisty, fast-paced read that blends small town secrets, cold case mystery, and psychological suspense.
I loved how it moved between character dynamics and high-stakes twists. The short chapters made it fly by, and the steady reveals kept me hooked. I’ll admit, I was a little confused in the first half, but that only made me more determined to piece everything together.
The ending pulled it all together in a really satisfying way as well. One of the connections near the end did stretch belief just a bit, but overall this was such a strong and engaging read. Definitely one I’ll be recommending
