As Long as We Both Shall Live
by JoAnn Chaney
Really enjoyed this one, burned through it in just a few short days. Although I completely guessed the plot twist (and it's very reminiscent of Gone Girl / Nick and Crazy Amy) just before the halfway mark, I didn't care. And that's because I really loved the structure of how this one was told - especially in the beginning. I loved the 3 detective characters - Abraham Reid for the 1995 parts and Spengler and Loren in the 2018 parts.
Spengler's character is great at pointing out the misogyny and sexism in her job as a homicide detective in a male-dominated field. And while, yes, I figured out the plot early on, I still completely enjoyed watching it all unfold.
Another successful book club book! But I think we're going to need to find a different style for our next choice. As Long As We Both Shall Live has now meant we've read two thriller kinds of books (the other was also very successful - [b:The Last Mrs. Parrish|36039837|The Last Mrs. Parrish|Liv Constantine|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1528028359s/36039837.jpg|55049770] - and I think if we stay in this lane we'll grow too fatigued with this style. So the challenge is on to find another great book club pick, but from a different genre. ??
