The Favor
by Nora Murphy
Need a book where you can escape everyday life, participate in vigilante justice vicariously and flip pages furiously? Then this book is for you.
Be forewarned, you will need to suspend belief somewhat. I think I watch too many crime shows to believe that there was no video for any of the situations that happened, but like I said, if you can just sit back and enjoy the ride, you will really enjoy this one.
Dealing with what might be triggers for some including miscarriage and domestic emotional and physical abuse, I think it is important to point those out before I can recommend this read to everyone. I didn't feel like the author abused this platform though, I think she used it to show how easily these type of situations can happen and how easily a woman can feel trapped.
This was a fast-paced thriller. Although I don't believe that violence or murder is the answer, I could appreciate that this was a story and was FICTION. It was one person's look at what could happen in a situation like this. Basically two women who look similar, find that they are living very similar lives. What is seen on the outside in relationships is often not what would be seen on the inside. The author did such a great job of developing the characters - I rooted for some, and despised others. There was one aspect (the detective's partner) that I wish more time was spent on or there was some resolution, but it didn't ruin the story. I am purposely not giving much of a synopsis on this story because I think this is a perfect book to go into blind. Knowing the synopsis almost gives too much away.
Definitely recommend. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the advance copy to read and review. Pub date: 5.31.22.
