Commentary During Books The Girl Before

In the tradition of The Girl on the Train, The Silent Wife, and Gone Girl comes an enthralling psychological thriller that spins one woman's seemingly good fortune and another woman's mysterious fate through a kaleidoscope of duplicity, death, and deception. Soon to be a major motion picture directed by Ron Howard. Please make a list of every possession you consider essential to your life. The request seems odd, even intrusive - and for the two women who answer, the consequences are devastating. Emma Reeling from a traumatic break-in, Emma wants a new place to live. But none of the apartments she sees are affordable or feel safe. Until One Folgate Street. The house is an architectural masterpiece: a minimalist design of pale stone, plate glass, and soaring ceilings. But there are rules. The enigmatic architect who designed the house retains full control: no books, no throw pillows, no photos or clutter or personal effects of any kind. The space is intended to transform its occupant - and it does. Jane After a personal tragedy, Jane needs a fresh start. When she finds One Folgate Street, she is instantly drawn to the space - and to its aloof but seductive creator. Moving in, Jane soon learns about the untimely death of the home's previous tenant, a woman similar to Jane in age and appearance. As Jane tries to untangle truth from lies, she unwittingly follows the same patterns, makes the same choices, crosses paths with the same people, and experiences the same terror as the girl before. Listening Length: 9 hours and 59 minutes

Write-Up About Books The Girl Before

I received a copy of The Girl Before through NetGalley for an honest review. My thanks to Ballantine Books and to J.P. Delaney for the opportunity.To control or to be controlled?......now that is the question.The Girl Before has more wicked cogs in the wheel than a jacked-up Monster truck in high gear. And that wheel keeps turning and turning throughout the entire story. Some days that wheel grinds in the down and dirty. Some days it revs up speed and gains relentless traction.Emma Matthews

The Girl Before is a psychological thriller from JP Delaney, a pseudonym for a writer who has previously written bestselling fiction under other names. A film version is being brought to the screen by Academy Awardwinning director Ron Howard and I am sure this will prove to be one of the hits of 2017.The story focuses on the property 1 Folgate Street,this is no ordinary house, it is state of the art and won the Stirling Prize. It has the latest home technology and was designed by architect

A unique house with a particular landlord, they say. A restrictive covenant, but affordable. A lot of rules, a harrowing application process. Only if you think it is worth it.One Folgate Street. It was built by a techno-minimalist architect named Edward Monkford. There is an intense 200-question application, a face-to-face interview with the ones Edward personally approves, and even then..they rarely get the lease. And if you do, you have to live by strict rules and adapt to this minimalist

This was an entertaining, compulsive read, and I loved it. I read it as quickly as I could because I had to know what was going to happen.This book follows two women, Jane, in the present, and Emma, in the past. There are alternating chapters, so their stories move along together. They each rent a house, One Folgate Street, in London.Jane becomes almost obsessed with finding out what happened to Emma, when she lived at the address, and Emma herself is telling her story. Both women are recovering

"Yes, daddy. Yes." No. Please no. I feel like somebody noted the success of books like Gone Girl and the success of Fifty Shades of Grey and thought: wouldn't it be great if we had a book that combined the two? No, actually. No, it wouldn't.The Girl Before failed on so many levels, and I say that as a reluctant fan of these "domestic thrillers". I've enjoyed everything from The Girl on the Train to last year's ridiculous but fast-paced Behind Closed Doors. I expected I'd like this one too, but

I went into this book with a very open mind. It didn't gel with a lot of people and I respect that!This book is as much about a house from its history to its construction to the contract to live in it as it is about the characters. In alternating viewpoints from Emma(then) and Jane(now) it's an unraveling of what mysteries and secrets this house holds. It was a suspenseful read with the loose ends tied up in the end. But as long as the house stands, this will be a never ending story.

I enjoyed the format of the storyline--short paragraphs--alternating between "then" and "now"/"Emma" and "Jane." It was a clever way to keep the reader focused. I thought the plot was very creative and, of course, the ending was a total surprise. Also, after being officially named a "Cover Girl," how about that beautifully intriguing cover? That, alone, makes you want to buy it.This book is going to make a fabulous movie. While reading it, I kept visualizing the sleek, totally automated house
