Has some interesting twists and turns. Drags on a lot and somewhat predictable. Ok read
I couldn’t put it down and cried over half of it. It was really good.
Stopped reading in the first chapter. Much too dark for me. Just a personal reaction.
This book will tug at your heart and keep you turning the pages.
Read this book in one day. Loved the character development.
Enjoyed this book with a very surprising ending.
Nice twist. Kept my interest while our world is on fire, so…
This book was so great. As a former foster parent and a parent of two special needs children by adoption I felt like the author looked in on my life. It felt nice to be seen, to have someone else go through the same even if it was a character in a book. The storyline kept me guessing and I was shocked at the end! Such a great book. I have recommended it to everyone I know!
Good book
Enjoyed. Didn’t figure it out for quite awhile.
Tuesday’s Child was an emotionally captivating mystery! Emery’s life begins to unravel when her daughter is murdered. This was an intense whodunit, with alternating time frames leading up to the end. There are no perfect angels, and I was praying so hard that Holden wasn’t guilty! No one gets through this unscathed, and there are hard life lessons to be learned along the way.
Wow! This was one heck of a suspenseful ride! A family in crisis, an adopted child suspected, and a mother that refuses to give up, Tuesday’s Child is a domestic mystery that I couldn’t put down. The story was intense and intriguing. The characters were so deeply written and the plot moved forward at a wonderful pace. The twists and turns surprised me every single time. I gasped, cried, and even laughed at parts. It’s so well written and, if mystery is your thing, you probably be up all night reading like it was. I just couldn’t put it down. Such a wonderfully rich story!
This book evoked feelings in me that had been long buried, bringing tears at times but the end evoked the happy tears. This book has an exceptional happy ending. Holden is a child left alone at a young age when his supposed caregiver overdosed and died, with the needle still in her arm. A 6 year old left alone for days not knowing what to do or where to go.
I found this book to be tragic, mysterious, revealing, heart wrenching, heart warming and haunting with real life situations like a girls club and Mommy Tribe which to me is the mean girls club only with a snobby name. This book also made me feel angry, sad, confused and intense at times.
My favorite thing about this great mystery is that you don’t get to know until close to the book, I mean not even really a hint!
Going into “Tuesday’s Child” – I wasn’t sure what to expect- so to be taken back by the mind muckery, passion, spine-tingling goosebumps, dark places, and spaces the author has its readers willfully trudging along through. In my opinion, it speaks volumes for the author’s unique talents!
I swear I could feel the outpouring of emotions as I read sentence after sentence, pulling me into the rabbit hole of depravity a little farther with each page- and I couldn’t get enough!
So much goes on! Folks if you like a twisted, murder break your heart mystery – then this is one book I suggest reading!
It has been four days since I read it, and I am still having passing thoughts about it!
This is the first novel I’ve read by this author, and it won’t be the last. It’s a little dark, but what an amazing book. The character building is so intricate and three dimensional that I was dragged into this story from the first sentence. I loved this portrayal of older child adoption, such a far cry from the saccharine sweet versions I read before, yet oddly uplifting too. Emery is a wonderful protagonist, a real mother with doubts and struggles, who doesn’t have a clue what to do some of the time. Sad, poignant yet uplifting too. I adored this book.
