An Isolated Incident by Emily Maguire
2.0

This is another case of poor marketing for a book. I pick the books I want to review on the Netgalley platform based on the synopsis and the genre. I was a bit on the fence about this book but it was classified as a mystery/thriller so I thought I’d take a chance on it.

SPOILER ALERT!

This book isn’t a mystery or a thriller. It’s an exploration into the aftermath of a brutal murder and it’s not super strong on that front. If this book had not been placed in the wrong genre, I wouldn’t have read it and I wouldn’t be giving it a bad review. Please stop marketing books this way. I don’t like being played for a fool and if I’d paid for this book, I’d be even angrier.

Get your book into the hands of people who WANT to read it. Not the people who don’t.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I was not paid for this review.
