Review: Her Dying Day - Mindy Carlson - June 2022

The mystery surrounding Her Dying Day by Mindy Carlson captivated me from start to finish, not only because of the eerie disappearance at the heart of the plot but also because it evoked memories of the infamous real-life vanishing of Agatha Christie. 

 Aspiring filmmaker June Masterson is on a quest to document the mystery of Greer Larkin, a renowned mystery author who disappeared under strange circumstances. Growing up on a remote commune, June first heard about the case at fourteen, and now, years later, she’s determined to uncover the truth behind Greer’s disappearance.

This book is a must-read for fans of unsolved cases, as it explores every possible theory about what happened to Greer. Was it her controlling fiancé, Jonathan? Did Greer take her own life due to writer's block, as her agent suggests? Or was it one of the women closest to her—her possessive mother, Blanche, or her obsessive best friend, Rachel? The twists and turns kept me hooked, especially as June digs deeper and uncovers personal writings that could hold the key to unraveling the mystery.

But the tension doesn’t stop there—Rachel’s sudden death just adds more fuel to the fire, and June realizes she’s not just uncovering a dark secret, but putting herself in the crosshairs of a killer. The suspense builds to a breathtaking crescendo, and just when you think you’ve figured it out, the rug is pulled out from under you.

Oh, and can we talk about that cover? It’s total Cover Crush vibes. The moody, atmospheric design perfectly mirrors the chilling tone of the story, hinting at the danger and intrigue that lurk within its pages.

Her Dying Day is an addictive, atmospheric thriller that will keep you up long past your bedtime, with a mystery that will haunt you long after you’ve finished reading. If you love a good unsolved case with plenty of suspense, this one’s for you!
