PENGUIN The Other People: The chilling and spine-tingling Sunday Times bestseller

I read this book only in a day! I’m a Stephen King fan and when he said about the book,“if you like my stuff, you’ll like this”, I knew this would be good. I couldn’t help noticing similarities between the two authors. Both are known for their immersive writing styles that draw the reader into their stories. They explore themes of horror, fear, and the supernatural, but King's work often delves deeper into social and cultural issues, while CJ Tudor’s themes tend to be more personal and character-driven. Tudor is a newer author, but her work has already garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. I now understand why. Her work is bleak and melancholy with a focus on exploring the darker aspects of human nature. What I ❤️ about this book: 📑 It’s a page-turner that keeps you guessing until the very end. The author masterfully builds tension and suspense, making it difficult to put the book down. 🦋The characters are well-developed and interesting, with complex backstories and motivations. I became invested in their fates and cared about what happens to them. 🪢The book is full of unexpected twists and turns that kept me on my toes. Just when you think you've figured out what's going on, the author throws a curveball that leaves you reeling. ✍️The author's writing style is engaging and immersive, making it easy to get lost in the story. The dialogue is realistic, and the descriptions of the settings and characters are vivid and powerful. 💎The book deals with some heavy themes, including loss, grief, and the lengths that a parent will go to for their child. The themes are handled with sensitivity and depth, making the book emotionally resonant.

This third book exceeds the first two, which were fantastic. Once you start reading it, you just cannot put it down. CJ. Tudor has become my favourite writer.

This book! I cannot put it down. When I’m not reading it all I can think about it what’s going to happen in the book next. I have 50 pages left and I’ve only had the book a day and a half! Couldn’t recommend enough, will mess with your mind.

Thanks

C.J. Tudor is back with The Other People, and it is brilliant. Her latest book is tense, exhilarating and extremely fast-paced. I finished this in just under forty-eight hours. I have no doubt that this book will feature in my top ten reads at the end of the year. The story is creepy and intense; when you start reading it, you need to make sure that you have a lot of free time on your hands as this book is very difficult to put down. When Gabe sees a young girl who looks like his daughter in the back of a car, he thinks it is someone who looks like her. But he has no idea how his life is going to change from that moment. A short while later he receives a call from the police who deliver devastating news. His wife and daughter have been killed. But who was the girl he saw in the back of the car? The police don’t believe he saw anything, and he soon falls under their suspicion. But Gabe is desperate to track down the girl he saw. What is really going on here? C.J. Tudor has penned a complex plot, and she kept me guessing as I was reading. Gabe’s desperation to find out what had happened to his daughter and wife comes through really strongly in her writing. He is a broken man and the only thing keeping him going is the belief that his daughter is still alive, even though everyone else believes otherwise, including his mother and father-in-law. With every chapter, the tension rose. The plot takes an even darker turn as Gabe gets closer to the truth behind what happened to his wife and daughter. We also hear from several other characters. The plot flows really well and at no point did I ever feel confused, which can sometimes happen with a novel told from multiple viewpoints. I wondered just how each of the characters was connected. I thought the way C.J. Tudor brought them together was done really well. There is also a supernatural element to this book which adds to the tense atmosphere. This part of the plot really intrigued me, and I felt that C.J. Tudor explained everything in a satisfying way. The Other People is chilling, and the pace rocketed along as I waited to find out the real truth. This is C.J. Tudor’s best book to date, and I can’t wait to read what she writes next.

Disappointing!!! Loose ends, very predictable, sureal parts... I expected something good but nowhere near.
