Why read it?
1 author picked One Step Too Far as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I am a huge fan of twists I should have seen coming, and this novel does just that.
It’s the kind of book that I wanted to read again as soon as I finished it, now armed with the insight of knowing the whole story. I wanted to find all those places where I should have clued in to what was actually happening.
When a book has an “aha” moment where I pause because it takes some time for the reality of the character’s backstory to sink in, I’m hooked.
From Laura's list on suspenseful books about people hiding behind false names.
