All The Pretty People Paperback – January 26, 2022

I give this one a 4.5. It was slow getting into for me but once it picked up, it picked up, and I didn't want to put it down. Just when I thought I had it figured our, I realized I didn't. And when I thought I had it figured out again...I realized I still didn't. The plot twist was good and the ending was wrapped up beautifully. It all came together full circle!

I came across All The Pretty People by Barbara Freethy in my library's Hoopla catalog and I'm so glad I did! While it was a little slow for my liking and could have been a bit shorter, it had a very engaging mystery and plenty of twists and turns. I was completely surprised by both 'whodunnits' and almost every single one of these characters was sitting on at least one secret. I also loved the way Freethy decided to close the book out, and it was a super sweet ending after all of the pain and drama we had to go through to get there.Amy McFadden narrates the audiobook, and I was very happy with her narration. Even though there are a lot of characters to keep track of, the story is told from the viewpoint of Willow with excerpts from Melanie's diary. McFadden did a great job of changing up her voice for the diary parts, and it was nice to have that differentiation since it was a different character. There is a little bit of romance to this one as well, but nothing that takes away from the main storyline. All The Pretty People was a great little page-turner that I easily finished in one day, and it is the perfect book to add to your beach/summer reading!

This is why this author is one of my favorites. I was blind sided, shocked, never saw it coming. Very sad and emotional but so worth the reading.

I didn't see this killer coming, I thought it was someone else in the same family but not who it was so that was fun because I usually can predict the endings of these books. The pacing of this book was good however I never loved the main character she was kind of annoying and whiny. This was definitely a good read however I finished it in two days

All the pretty people by Barbara Freethy is a standalone domestic thriller which kept me on my toes from page one. The story is about a missing girl, Melanie who was never found, but ten years later, everyone involved returns to the island for the wedding of Kelsey. Every page held yet another secret to uncover, leaving you twisting around and pointing the finger at everyone at least once before the whole truth comes outThe ending was a complete surprise. Well-developed characters. Barbara Freethy is a great author and you will not be disappointed with any of her books.

The book was ok had some twist and turns I didn’t see coming. But was a bit slow moving .

This book is a page turner. I did not figure out everything until its revealed. I thought I figured out those evolved but I only got two right and the details completely evaded me. Loved this book.

This story deals with human emotions, lies we say, shame for some of our deeds and scary disappearances. Such twists !! Loved it!

The suspense and unexpected ending left you hanging on every chapter. Very well written.

I really enjoyed this book with all the twists in it. It was well written. I will read more by this Author.

A great read which people had so many secrets with plenty of lies as well. A must read and enjoy.

I loved the mystery. B.F brings her characters to life so naturally so as the reader you know them. The middle lags a bit but stick with it. Very good read

Wow this was an amazing story. I was fooled from the beginning. I thought I’d figured it out but I was so wrong! Amazing suspense and drama. I’m actually hoping we might get other stories in future with some of these characters. Wonderful narration too
