Ghosted by Rosie Walsh- Reshelved Books

Another review, another psychological thriller. 

Ugh. 

I firmly believe that this will be the last psychological thriller for me for a while. 

At the same time, I am a firm believer that every book I've been picking up lately HAS been a psychological thriller.

The psychological thriller in this review is "Ghosted" by Rosie Walsh.  "Ghosted" is her American Debut.  It did get good reviews on Goodreads and on Amazon. 

The cover on this book is sooooo pretty! It's flowy and the colors are beautiful.  The synopsis of the book had me interested in it. 

The book didn't live up to the synopsis. It just fell flat. 

Sarah Mackey is a 37 year old woman, who is recently separated.  She and her husband, Reuben had decided that it was best that if they ended their marriage and moved forward with their lives.  Every year around the beginning of June, Sarah flied back home to England to visit the site of a fatal accident. 

This time, her visit is different.  Sarah meets a man named Eddie David.  Eddie is sitting in the grass, playing with a sheep when Sarah approaches him. 

Sarah and Eddie hit it off immediately! They happen to go to a pub, where they drink cider and share chips. Sarah leaves with Eddie to spend the night and thus, begins a torrid affair between them that lasts for 7 days. 

On the seventh day, Eddie and Sarah part ways- Eddie is heading on a holiday with his friend and Sarah needs to return to San Francisco. 

Eddie is supposed to call Sarah from the airport but he never does. 

He just disappears into thin air. 

Sarah has been... ghosted...

Sarah firmly believes that something might have happened to Eddie.  That he just wouldn't have gone off and left, and not try to reach out and communicate with her. 

Like any 37 year old woman, Sarah decides that she is going to basically try and stalk Eddie, reach out to his friends and find out what the heck actually happened to him. 

Gah! NO. 

Just noooooooo.

No one wants to be ghosted but you can't just stalk people and be creepy.

Sarah's character was very pushy.  I didn't really care for her as a character for her personality. 

In a way, I felt like the story was a little disjointed?  There was an element of mystery, yes. There was also a component that was a love story...?  The ending wasn't like any other psychological thriller I've read before. 



With that, I give Ghosted 2 coffee beans out of 5.
