Confessions on the 7:45
by Lisa Unger
3 stars for this not so thrilling thriller from Lisa Unger. This was my first Lisa Unger book and maybe my last. It was ok. The synopsis makes it sound a lot more seductive than it actually was. I had to keep notes in the beginning 1/3rd of the book as the names and characters were getting tossed in left and right with no obvious connection to each other. I don't necessarily mind having to pay attention but this was a bit much. It was confusing. All the stories do intersect eventually and in a way that is enjoyably unforeseen. I do think the twists in this book paid off and made it worth a read but it really is more of a mystery than a thriller. I also found the writing a little bit subpar in the beginning and truthfully was close to DNR'ing after chapter 2. It is worth sticking with it but I personally feel that if the writing is low grade then I shouldn't have to take notes to keep ahead of what's going on in the story. Just my opinion. Looks like this book has already been sold to Netflix and maybe the screen edition will be easier to follow. This author puts out about a book a year and sometimes quality gives way to quantity when it comes to writing, IMO. It still might appeal to some, so give other reviews a read and decide for yourself.
