Publisher's summary

Four women - friends, family, rivals - turn to online dating for companionship, only to find themselves in the crosshairs of a tech-savvy killer using an app to target his victims in this harrowing thriller from the New York Times best selling author of See Jane Run and The Bad Daughter.

Online dating is risky - will that message be a sweet greeting or an unsolicited lewd photo? Will he be as handsome in real life as he is in his photos, or were they taken 10 years and 20 pounds ago? And when he asks you to go home with him, how do you know it’s safe? The man calling himself “Mr. Right Now” in his profile knows that his perfect hair, winning smile, and charming banter put women at ease, silencing any doubts they might have about going back to his apartment. There, he has a special evening all planned out: steaks, wine, candlelight...and, by the end of the night, pain and a slow, agonizing death.

Driven to desperation - by divorce, boredom, infidelity, a beloved husband’s death - a young woman named Paige, her cousin and rival Heather, her best friend, Chloe, and her mother, Joan, all decide to try their hand at online dating. They each download an app, hoping to right-swipe their way to love and happiness.

But one of them unwittingly makes a date with the killer, starting the clock on a race to save her life.

New York Times best-selling author Joy Fielding has crafted a complex, electrifying thriller about friendship, jealousy, and passion - a deadly combination.

All the Wrong Places

It was recommended to me by a book club member. I listened to it and enjoyed it. It was a good story without being too graphic or violent.

Wow incredible!

This story had the best of everything. The best aka most vile serial killer, the best mom ever, the best friendship, the best aka deplorable bad people and even a good guy. In addition the writing was excellent and character development was so so good. I really felt like I knew these characters. The plot is engaging and real enough to keep you riveted to the pages or non stop listening. Oh and then there’s the ending!!

Narration was excellent!!

Exciting read

The narration of this book was exceptionally good. I enjoyed it immensely. Good story line.

Mostly 🍭 , some 🌶

Saskia- you are fabulous. I can’t decide who I love more, you or Nicol Zanzarella, but I like almost anything either of you narrate.

I’ve never read Joy Fielding, but I’m now a fan. It doesn’t really hit the sweet spot if you’re looking for a traditional “thriller”, but I laughed, almost cried and was pleasantly surprised by the tricky ending. The female characters are extremely relatable, and there is just enough edge and suspense to keep it interesting.

Serial killer!!

I really enjoyed the book! I wanted to hear more from Mr. Right Now. I wanted more of the killer part in it.

Wow. That’s a heck of a cliffhanger

That’s it? No ending? Sure hope there’s next book. It took me awhile to get into the book. Feel like there is more to come.

This story does NOT end with a cliffhanger

The author does not spell everything out, but the ending is very clear. She even leaves more than sufficient clues. No guesswork necessary.

enjoyable

A little predictable but enjoyable. Similar to a harlequin movie with a lot more swearing!

Twisted page turner

Several stories entwined with just enough jealously to keep me reading. Tho soon it all plays out with general flurry of predictable events....Great Beach/Travel read.

Very hate worthy characters lol

If that’s what they were going for..mission accomplished hahaha. This book is interesting but the “bad guys” are SO bad it’s kind of over the top ?
