Megan Abbott foreshadows the extreme events in Beware the Woman when her main character Jacy thinks about a reoccurring dream she’s had since childhood featuring Captain Murderer. A very pregnant Jacy and her husband Jed travel to the isolated Upper Peninsula of Michigan. As soon as you read the word no Wi-Fi and no cell bars you just know Something is Going to Go Very Wrong.
And you would be right. Jacy has a health scare. Of course, being in the middle of Nowhere means very few medical options. Fortunately, Jed’s father, Doctor Ash, is there to provide medical assistance. But, Jacy senses Something Isn’t Right.
Family secrets, amped up tension, Jacy’s suspicions, and the extreme isolation all come together in a shattering conclusion. Megan’s new novel will have you losing sleep because you can’t put down Beware the Woman and then you’ll be losing sleep after you finish its haunting ending! GRADE: A
Just added this to my tbr!
Deb, Katie just finished reading BEWARE THE WOMAN over the weekend and had trouble sleeping as a result! It should come with a sticker on the cover that says: VERY INTENSE!
I am really looking forward to this one. Everywhere I look, it keeps getting positive buzz!
Jerry, after reading BEWARE THE WOMAN I never want to go to some isolated place that doesn’t have WI-Fi!
Several of her books have scared me but this one more than most. Thanks for reading and reviewing it, George. I will tell her tonight it had a fan in Buffalo.
Patti, Megan sure knows how to amp up the suspense and tension in BEWARE THE WOMAN! I wish Megan’s Book Tour brought her to Western NY. She has plenty of fans here!!
Sounds really good. It is on my list too.
Jeff, Megan keeps getting better and better!
Plan on reading this but holding off on purchasing it until her autographing this week.
Steve, please say “Hi!” to Megan for me! I wish she had a signing in Western NY!
