The Good Samaritan by John Marrs

𝓑π“ͺ𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰 5/5 ⭐️

The Good Samaritan by John Marrs is a fast-paced psychological thriller. Laura is an operator for End of the Line where people call when they need hope and reassurance that life is worth living but is Laura someone you can trust to help you? 

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ALC of this book!

This new edition has a bonus chapter at the end! Publish date July 8th, 2025!

OMG! What the heck! This was seriously diabolical but so freaking good! I could not put it down. I listened to this and the narrators were fantastic! So engaging and easy to follow! You have no choice but to hate Laura literally none but yet you are still pulled into wanting to know what happens and how she manages to weasel out of the situations she puts herself into. 

Honestly though the unreliable narrator really kept you guessing! You don’t what is and isn’t real!

The ending made me so mad! I had hoped for a different ending but I get it! 

Definitely recommend to those who like psychological thrillers that are fast-paced, dual POV, and unreliable narrators.
