Jacob and his mother are walking home one day when he is struck and killed by a hit and run driver. The police have no idea how to find the person behind the accident and Jacob's mother can't just sit by while nothing is being done. After the accident, Jenna decides to move away from the area after this tragedy. The police are on a nearly impossible mission to find a child killer. Told from the perspective of the police and Jenna, finding the killer is of utmost importance.

I listened to this book as part of book pal read. At first the story started off slowly and I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. Then there was a twist in the story that I didn't see coming. Clare Mackintosh writes stories that leave you on the edge of your seat, wondering what is going to happen next.

I can't imagine what I would do if one of my children was hit by a car. Not only that, but finding out that the person who did it didn't even stop or anything to see if everyone was alright. I don't know what I would do, probably go crazy.

It's hard to review this book without giving away too much. You just have to read it.

Review: The Store by James Patterson

The Store by James Patterson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Published: 2017

In this day and age everyone shops online and The Store has everything you want. The Store is so great, it can even predict what you want or need even before you know you need or want it. But who wants that much invasion into their lives? Jacob and Megan Brandeis intend to get to the core of The Store, to find it's inner workings and write a book to tell the whole world about it. But will The Store prove to be too much for this pair?

When reading this book and learning about The Store, the first thing that comes to mind is Amazon. I know Amazon is tracking me when I see what I was searching on my Facebook feed. An online shop that started selling books, but now you can buy anything from them. This is no Amazon, though, with surveillance cameras and microphones in every home and on every street lamp and sign. There is no privacy from The Store. Will Jacob and Megan be able to expose all inner workings of The Store before it's too late?

James Patterson is one of my favorites, but this book was just okay for me. It did make me think though about what would be next in life. Will drones be polluting the sky to bring us our packages and meals? Will there be a need for us to ever leave our homes and interact with people in person? I would hate for a world like that.
