If you like a book that keeps you gripped and eagerly anticipating the next move, then you will be immersed in this one. She embarks on a challenging yet exciting journey into the past to unravel the mystery behind everything that happened. Luckily I was also able to follow along in this physical copy and flip back to help keep things straight. The synopsis leads you to believe that this is a Russian doll type of tale, and it would be correct, but I found myself in shock that the original mystery of the stabbing that occurs in chapter one isn't really the overarching focus of the plot.
the whole ordeal had me looking at my mans sideways because he acts the exact same: stoic, unemotional, free of any fucks to give. As she travels further back in time, she is a mother looking for answers, how did this all come to happen, and more to the point, can she stop it happening? We can see how Jen catches a person lying convincingly only because she saw the future and is coming to the past from the future. If you're looking for a fast, popcorn type of read this one is great, so long as you dial in and don't zone out while cooking dinner.Each morning, when Jen wakes, she is further back in the past, first weeks, then years, before the murder. If Todd bought a knife as a form of protection, to me that indicates that he must’ve felt on guard and unsafe around him and yet just 2 days before he was at Joseph/Ezra’s house.
To be honest, the intricate plot and introspectiveness in the last half had me full-on Ray Charles to the comma splices. Divorce lawyer Jen Brotherhood waits for her 18-year-old son Todd to get home from a date with his new girlfriend Clio. Now Jack Jordan’s Do No Harm gives us surgeon Dr Anna Jones, whose eight-year-old son, Zack, is kidnapped, and who is told she must kill a high-profile patient on the operating table or her boy will be murdered. She is also devastated that her husband was in fact an undercover cop investigating her father’s involvement in organized crime.First we had, in TJ Newman’s Falling, the pilot whose family is taken hostage and who is told he must either crash the plane or see them die. After consulting with a time travelling expert multiple times (he never remembers her), she resigns herself to jumping and combing for clues.
I thought it was just a butterfly effect situation where she grew up as Eve in the timeline that the book ended in? Eve was kidnapped in the original timeline and was removed from the car before the car was sent overseas.As Jen watches through the window, she sees her funny, seemingly happy teenage son stab a total stranger.
I thought this was going to be one of those domestic dramas of a mother feeling guilty about her bad parenting which leads to her son misbehaving. I listened to the audiobook and wonder if I would have enjoyed this book more had I read the book rather than listened to it. This begins a time loop as Jen travels back days, weeks, months at a time trying to solve the mystery of who this man was and stop her son's involvement.
She prevents the kidnapping, which allows the crime boss to stay out of prison, which negates Todd’s murdering of him.
Great Deal
