What Lies Beneath: My Life as a Forensic Search and Rescue Expert

Product Information

Laura’s father passed away when she was eight, and she thought she understood why he vanished from her life in the year before he died, but the photograph and the corpse begin to cast doubt on everything she thought she knew. I definitely prefer John Marrs's more sci-fi books like 'The One' and 'The Passengers' but this book was brilliantly written, and undoubtedly had me on edge! Also the cover is hauntingly good!

Full disclosure: I did not read the first book in this series. I've jumped in mid-series in different series (how many times can I use this word in two sentences???) and didn't feel like I was missing much, but in this case, reading the first book definitely would've helped. There's clearly some recurring characters with little context, and mention of past events, again without much context. However, you can definitely read it as a standalone, but expect to be a little confused in some regards. Maggie y Nina, madre e hija que viven juntas y solas desde la desaparición del padre, tienen una particularidad. Nina vive “más o menos” una vida normal, y Maggie no sale de casa desde hace casi tres años…. Más que nada porque Nina la tiene encadenada en su habitación de la planta superior, aunque para las cenas le permite acceder hasta el salón… con una cadena más larga. La novela nos explica el porqué de esta situación en capítulos que van de una a otra de las protagonistas, y que van adelante y atrás en el tiempo, llegando incluso al momento en que el padre dejó de formar parte de sus vidas. No, I don’t know why I would read a book about a woman whose keeping her mother chained in the attic when I’m being on a quarantine for ten days now. Yes, I know, probably not my smartest move. J. G. Hetherton’s Last Girl Gone is astunningdebut that takes the reader down adark and vividrabbit hole . . .Swiftly paced, riveting, poignant and real.” Both of these stories are intense and raw. They feature men who prey on the perceived weakness of women and strive to subjugate them in vicious and horrific ways. These will be trigger points for some readers and should be considered. The author, I believe, set out to bring realism to these works. In so doing, these novels are not sugar-coated when it comes to the violence some men will perform in response to women who they perceive are not respectful of the man's proper place as the dominant gender.As a word of caution, What Lies Between Us has a lot of violence (both physical and mental) and it is not for the fainthearted. Also having recently read Darling Rose Gold, the themes felt similar to me. The stories are vastly different but somehow the story could have impacted me a lot more if I had read this book first, but this is not the book’s fault of course. Also, who leaves a head-on-the-table-banging-until-bleeding death row inmate with nothing to lose unsupervised with a reporter? Was it just me who did not buy it? Anyone?

That’s not to say that there were no glimpses of her ‘goodness’. They were just so rare that she’s just an unlikeable person. And having a main character you can’t root for makes it that much more difficult to be invested in the book. Home. It should be a safe place, a place of tranquility, for family time, for rest, for love, for nurturing. But it can also be a prison, just ask Maggie. Maggie and her daughter Nina live together in their family home. Every other night they have dinner together. While Nina bee bops around to ABBA, Maggie has a chain around her ankle. Nina keeps Maggie chained up in the attic, but why? Note: If you take Surok's letter to show King Roald before Rat Burgiss, you will learn about his guards' skills. In game theory, such punishment-and-cost situations demonstrate an idea known as “subgame perfection,” another version of the Nash equilibrium in which even wildly altered circumstances do not change the optimal decisions. No puedo darle cinco estrellas, sin embargo, porque hay aspectos que, mirados con profundidad, te harán dudar de que algo así pudiera haberse producido en la vida real. Si analizas la trama con detenimiento encontrarás fisuras. Pero como la novela te atrapa y no te suelta, harás la lectura completa sin grandes aspavientos. En ese aspecto, la obra es más que recomendable como thriller psicológico, y además lo cierra con un final que a mí me parece perfecto.

Harrison Ford as Dr. Norman Spencer, a successful college professor and scientist, Claire's second husband. Maybe it’s the duality in her personality, but how can she claim to have a loving relationship with him when what happened to her proves otherwise? Also, for someone who hates their mother, she’s so unsuspecting when being told she has rare incurable disease. They’re basically saying, ‘I’m willing to bury some information about me, and I’m confident I’ve got enough good attributes that somebody will uncover them,’” Hoffman says. “By not mentioning their credentials, they’re signaling that they’re not looking for a superficial interaction with somebody who is impressed with that one thing, and they don’t need that thing to impress you.” Game theory can help formalize that answer through models showing that, while enacting punishments does incur costs on the punishers, this approach leads to lower costs by inhibiting repeated bad behavior. It does cost the U.S. something to impose economic sanctions on Russia for invading Ukraine; but not imposing any cost on Russia would encourage further invasions. The author, J.G. Hetherton, is new to me. I did not read Laura Chambers Mystery #1 ( Last Girl Gone) and I don't think you will have to either, although I am adding it to my list! I think I have found a new author to add to my favorites list! His writing is beautifully woven together with stunning imagery. A particular passage I liked, that is an excellent example of his imagery follows:
