As soon as I finished reading Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter I was desperate for more psychological thrillers. I read lists upon lists of recommendations and one book that kept popping up was Black-Eyed Susans by Julia Heaberlin.
This book is nothing if not a page turner! I finished it in barely over 12 hours
Black-Eyed Susans tells the story of Tessa (formerly known as Tessie) who was found in a field still alive surrounded by the remains of other girls covered in Black-Eyed Susans (flowers for those who aren't familiar.) The story is narrated primarily by Tessa (present day) and young Tessie (after the discovery).
Heaberlin slowly provides bits of information sure to leave you guessing and wondering who the "monster" really is. Is the man on death row the killer or is the real killer still on the prowl?
I don't want to give too much information but I definitely enjoyed this book! No, it wasn't quite as twisted or enticing as Pretty Girls or a Gillian Flynn novel, however it was definitely worth the read!
