This was dark, twisted and cleverly written
This book takes you on a ride.
My only criticism was that there was a couple of plot holes.
I loved the ending. I felt it was perfect.

I am left stunned by this book. This was the first book I had read by this author and I have to say, what a brilliant book it was.

This is an interesting tale of two women with love and loathing for each other as one is incarcerated in her own home and the other is her jailer.

Such an easy to read book that I would recommend anyone to read and I will definitely be looking at the authors other novels.

Dark and uncomfortable at times but this book is so compelling at the same time. Couldn't put it down even if I wanted to. my only gripe was that some of the twists were on the predictable side and didn't blow me away.

Maggie spends her time locked in the attic. Nina is her captor and believes she has the right to keep Maggie from leaving the house. But NIna does not know everything and the reader finds the truth out through the book. This story is full of twists, turns and secrets.
I enjoyed this book from John Marrs, he never disappoints.
Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for granting me an advance copy of this book

WOW... what a book!
I was hooked within the first couple of chapters! It's opened my mind to how amazing/terrifying the brain can be.
Slowly watching child to adult Nina and wondering what on earth happened to make her the way she is.
I was so heartbroken by the Epilogue but felt relief also.
I would totally recommend this to everyone, I'm so glad I read it!

Great story of a totally weird family - wish I hadn't taken so long to read this. My first book by this author and definitely not my last.

I loved this book! Really fast-paced thriller with many twists and turns just how I like it. I would recommend if you like and read thrillers often as it will definitely surprise.
I also really liked the writing which sometimes can get overlooked when reading thrillers.
Thanks for the advanced copy!

John Marrs is proving himself to be one multitalented author the kind you never quite know what to expect from and this was no exception. The shock factor was high and so was my attention, great thriller.

Oy, let me start by saying John Marrs can definitely write a novel that makes the pages fly by. The Passengers remains one of my favorite suspense books so know that it pains me to give this one 3 stars. Unfortunately I was underwhelmed by the twists especially when each one was announced before the big reveal of who did what. For me I don't want to know everything thing that is coming. I like the element of surprise. I'm the outlier here so if this book sounds appealing give it a try for yourself, many others loved it.

Omg......... this book was amazing I flew threw the pages with Olympic speed I was hooked from the very first page. I found it full of twists and turns threw out and it kept me on the edge of my seat all the way threw  I would defiantly recommend this book if you like a good book to keep you reading threw the night hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did

What Lies Between Us was my first John Marrs book, but it certainly won't be my last! Dark, disturbing, creepy, emotional and thought provoking - brilliant, just brilliant! I loved every minute of it!

Huge John Marrs fan and have been making my way through his books. Picked this up with every intention of splitting it over the month for a group read and discussion… That did not happen. I devoured 250 pages in one night then finished it the next morning. Oops. Hooked. Page turner.

I don’t know what I expected going into this but what I read shocked me, was unexpected and dark. I bloody loved it. Every page. The story is told through mother Maggie and daughter Nina and they are both as bad as each other. I kept swaying from one to the other who I hated more but then it levelled out and I didn’t like either of them. Brilliant story though. Highly recommend.

This has also already gone into my top reads of year. Another one that’s hard to forget. Disturbing. Dark. Deadly. Psychos. A well deserved five stars from me. Another must read.

Another winning thriller from John Marrs!! 5 stars

I read The Good Samaritan by John Marrs a couple of years ago. This book gave me the same crazy intense feels, I legit felt my stomach dropping so many times while reading this. It was dark, twisted and messed up and I was HERE. FOR. IT.

John Marrs is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. I can't wait to read more of his books. I'm absolutely enthralled with both his writing style, his insane twists and his ability to shock me.

Would I recommend this book? Absolutely! If you enjoy domestic thrillers, this is an absolute must read. The twists alone make it worth it.

🌟 Dark & disturbing.
🌟 I really couldn't decide who's side to be on, my loyalties changes with every twist.
🌟 Engaging from page one, I couldn't put it down until I knew exactly what the hell was going on.
🌟 So brilliant written & very clever I can't wait to see what Marrs does next
🌟 Sooo ....excited to see it on the big screen!

I’m the biggest fan of John Marrs so it wasn’t a surprise that I absolutely loved this book! He never fails to disappoint us with such riveting thrillers.

Say what! Why did it take me so long to write this review? This is one twisty dark ride. Even though I had guessed major plot points, I still enjoyed the ride. The pacing is that did it for me here - John Marrs really knows how to get you turning the pages! I really enjoyed the alternating timelines and found my allegiance changing as I read. Cool story.

Yet another fantastic read from Joh Marrs - I've yet to find a book of his that I haven't loved. I will admit that the start of this was a bit slow going but once I got past this, it was a wild ride! There were some twists in here that I didn't see coming and kept you truly gripped. I really enjoyed that we got to hear from the different perspectives of Nina and Maggie, plus getting to hear the present day story and the past story which really helped pull everything together.
Yet another fantastic read from John Marrs and I'd 100% recommend picking this up

When I finished this, I will be honest, I was stuck between "why did I waste my time with this" and "what the hell did I just read"? I am giving 3 stars because I obviously finished it, but really WTF?! This book is complete and utter dysfunction at its finest. Maybe with everything going on with the Gabby Petito right now, I just constantly kept saying "Why isn't this woman getting her daughter the help she clearly needed" and "I don't think I could ever cover something like this up for my kid." There was no big plot twist that you expect in a thriller and it really just kinda did the same thing over and over with random bits thrown in as if it would or could be more shocking than the last little bread crumb....but no....

this was a roller coaster from the get go!!! Did not slow down.. so worth it!!! Mothers and daughters relationships can be great and then not so great!!! What mothers will do for their daughters…and how the daughters react!!!

This book had me from the first page! I loved the multiple perspectives and you quickly find out that neither character is reliable. The writing was perfection, the pacing was fantastic and the mystery kept me guessing the entire time.
