John marrs is always an auto buy author for me. I will always read and own anything he writes! Including the new covers of the books releasing soon! Thanks so much!

This book completely wrecked me in the best way.

From the very first page, The Good Samaritan pulls you into a haunting, morally complex world where nothing is as it seems. Laura works at a suicide helpline, a place where people go to find hope — but she has a secret, and it’s far more sinister than you could ever imagine.

This isn’t your typical thriller. It’s a slow burn at first, but once it clicks, it explodes. The perspective shifts are done masterfully, letting you into both Laura’s mind and those she manipulates. Marrs takes huge risks with character and plot — and they pay off. He creates an atmosphere of dread that lingers even when you’re not reading. At times, I found myself questioning my own morals, sympathizing with people I shouldn’t, and feeling unsettled by how easy it is for someone to hide behind a smile.

Laura is one of the most chilling characters I’ve ever read. She’s methodical, patient, and terrifyingly calm — and yet there are moments you almost understand her. That’s what makes this book so compelling: it forces you to sit in the discomfort of human darkness, of grief, loneliness, and twisted logic.

If you like your thrillers dark, daring, and full of psychological tension, The Good Samaritan is absolutely worth the read. But be warned — it’s not for the faint of heart.
