Summary

An ITW Thriller Award finalist.

She’s a friendly voice on the phone. But can you trust her?

The people who call End of the Line need hope. They need reassurance that life is worth living. But some are unlucky enough to get through to Laura. Laura doesn’t want them to hope. She wants them to die.

Laura hasn’t had it easy: she’s survived sickness and a difficult marriage only to find herself heading for forty, unsettled and angry. She doesn’t love talking to people worse off than she is. She craves it.

But now someone’s on to her—Ryan, whose world falls apart when his pregnant wife ends her life, hand in hand with a stranger. Who was this man, and why did they choose to die together?

The sinister truth is within Ryan’s grasp, but he has no idea of the desperate lengths Laura will go to…

Because the best thing about being a Good Samaritan is that you can get away with murder.

Revised edition: This edition of The Good Samaritan includes editorial revisions.

The Good Samaritan returns with a fresh cover. This version incorporates an exclusive epilogue; while this enhances the reading experience, the main narrative is unchanged from earlier editions.

I enjoyed the book but did not have any empathy with the characters. Which I think is unusual that a book doesn’t have someone you connect with!
Hated she won, however the reading was good.

Lots of twists and turns

Twisted and disturbing. I have personally used The Samaritans phone lines many times, and found them to be invaluable. But, of course, it could go so wrong...!

Darkly compelling

As usual, John Marrs shocks and surprises with this one. Another twisty story with shockingly horrible characters! Great writing, fab character building. Narrators were also very good. 10/10

Wow… just wow!
