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.

0 0The Good Samaritan by John Marrs was an awesome read. I have had a very hard time with books since the beginning of September and I found this book easy to read and very entertaining. The One by the same author was one of my favorite books in March of this year for many of the same reasons it was very easy to read. When you look at this title you think oh this is going to be a do-gooder mystery. All I can say is boy am I wrong. Wow, what a twisted thriller. Laura seems to be a caring woman who volunteers at a suicide help line. And she will help you right off a cliff if you allow her into your head. You think you want to commit suicide? She'll be on the phone with you as you take your last breath and she will enjoy it. But someone that Laura helped to leave this world had a husband who desperately wants answers. And when he finds out about Laura's involvement, well, let the games begin. I got this book from Kindle Unlimited and was super pleased with this choice. This was well written, kept my interest, and was very satisfying. Laura's character was an extremely well-drawn portrait of a psychotic serial killer. She didn't actually kill the people herself, but she may as well have. The events were believable, there wasn't a point in the book where you have to suspend rational thought. All in all, I was very pleased, and I would recommend this book to my friends.
