¼ Narrated by Saskia Maarleveld Narration Very Good

FEATURING Domestic Suspense Somewhat thrilling and fairly dark Cheaters, cheatees and a serial killer The awkwardness and the dangers of online dating

To me the most significant issue with this book is that it is marketed wrong.
. . its more domestic suspense than a mystery thriller,

Also, this couldve really stepped up its narration game by having separate narrators for each POV, . . although, I have to mention that Saskia Maarleveld did an amazing job of giving each POV a different inflection, Sooo, I cant complain too much,

Despite these issues or nonissues, I rather enjoyed this book, Although, there was one thing that happened that felt like it came out of leftfield for me, Other than that, I highly recommend this, It even felt a little educationalish, And that ending, it was kind of, . . well, lets just say I wasnt really disappointed with it,

njoymentI started reading All the Wrong Places onand finished it on, This book is an excellent read, I love the first chapter, definitely a strong start to hook in readers attention, The chapters following after that was slow building, but still an interesting enough to read that I didnt want to put it down.
I was hoping the killer to be among the men the four main women characters were involved with but I was disappointed to find out that hes his own mystery person.
I do like that the author include his point of view in the story, I like the concept of online dating and the killer can be an everyday good looking person that could easily fool anyone into thinking he could be the good guy instead of the bad ones.


This book is told in the third person point of view following Mr, Right Now as he is having dinner and torturing a lady he met on a dating app, He informs readers that hes very handsome, more handsome than the fake profile picture he uses and that women trusts him enough to leave the crowded bar they initially met and go to his apartment for a home cooked meal.
The story then goes back toweeks earlier, following Paige Hamilton,as she experienced yet another failed date with a man she met on a dating app.
Paige is currently living with heryearold mother after her father passed awayyears ago, Shes unemployed and her livedin boyfriend Noah ofyears left her for her cousin, Another view is Chloe, Paiges best friend, Chloe married a handsome womanizer Matt, She joined the dating app to verify that her husband is on there per an anonymous phone call informing her of her husbands online presence.
The fourth view is Joan, Paiges mom, Joan decided to join the dating apps as suggested by Paige to find a companion since her husbands death, The fifth view is of Heather, Paiges cousin, Heather is unhappy even though shes having all of Paiges things: apartment, boyfriend, and career, She joined the dating app to look for excitement,

All the Wrong Places is well written, I enjoyed the different stories of the four women including the killers, I like Paiges mom, beingand out dating again, I like the luck Paige was having even though she personally probably hate all the inconveniences thrown her way, Heathers drama is a bit funny, She thinks shes doing a revenge on Chloe but she didnt realize shes being used and easily discarded, I like Chloe only when she caught the new contact in Matts phone toward the end, The idea of online dating apps always interest me and Im glad to have read this book, Although there werent much twists in who the killer is, I do enjoy the reminder that the killer could be someone other than loners and uglies.
I do recommend everyone to read this book,

Pro: fast paced, page turner, dating apps, love amp betrayal, family amp friends, online dating apps

Con: not much twists

I rate it.
stars!

Jasmine at sitelinkwww, howusefulitis. wordpress. com for more details Looking for a fast paced convoluted thriller that will make your eyes roll and head spin at the same time This is it.
All The Wrong Places is one of those books that blends into the background of the thriller genre, There's nothing special about it yet it was actually a fun compulsive read for me, It's not a book that will end up in any toplists but it had a few different storylines that kept my attention and eventually merged into one.
NONE of the characters are likeable and the men, in particular, are all horrible, A good airplane audio book, ALL THE WRONG PLACES is a perfect thriller to come out at what is probably the height of online "dating, " Paige is a once successful woman who had the perfect job and perfect boyfriend, When both of them end and she finds herself moving back in with her mother, Joan, until she can get back on her feet, she decides to try her luck at online dating.
Unfortunately there are some missing women in the area and it turns out there is a serial killer who uses an online dating site to meet his victims and eventually lure them to their deaths.


This is a great read, with many twists that I wasn't expecting, The narration switches between Paige, her mother Joan, her best friend Chloe, her irresponsible and shady cousin, Heather, and the serial killer.
This definitely keeps things interesting as there are a few different story lines going on that all come together in the end.
Although the ending is a little abrupt I thought it was the end of the chapter and was shocked to find I finished it, I was highly intriguedof the way.
I've been a fan of Joy Fielding for years, and this did not disappoint, Highly recommended.

Thank you to author Joy Fielding, Ballantine Books, and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review, Thanks to Random House Ballatine and NetGalley for an advanced read in exchange for this review,

This book is categorized as a thriller about online dating,   There's someone called Mr. Right Now who plans a special evening for an unlucky lady who will find herself dying a slow death at the end of the date.
  Paige, her terrible cousin, Heather, Paige's mom Joan, and her best friend Chloe all try online dating,   One of them is going to be swiping right on Mr, Right Now.

I didn't see much of a thriller here,   While I enjoyed the book somewhat, the book seems primarily about the relationship between all of the characters with this deadly date in the background approaching.
  Don't expect a big mystery because you'll have it figured it out quickly,   Most of the characters are unlikable, and the book will drag on slightly, I would describe All the Wrong Places as both a thriller/suspense as well as drama, We rotate betweenmans andwomens point of views, Its clear from early on that there is danger in Boston and online daters need to beware!

The opening scene is great definitely grabbed my attention immediately by jumping right in with the suspenseful part of the book.
Then we meet the rest of the main characters who are all struggling with their significant others in one way or another.
My favorite character is Joan, who is the older of the main characters and Paiges mother, This was a quick read with an interesting ending! To say I loved this book would be an understatement! The opening scene alone lets you know you have opened up an amazing book! A handsome serial killer is torturing a woman he met online and stops to answer the phone to talk to his next victim hes planning on murdering! The man uses the name Mr.
Right Now and he has been murdering woman he has met on online dating sights all around the Boston area for a few months.
He has it down he only lives in cities for a few months and moves on, He texts the woman makes a date and when they are comfortable he takes them back to his place for a delicious steak dinner.
Then he tortures them and kills them, Paige just went through a rough break up with her boyfriend after finding him in bed with her cousin Heather, Paige is unemployed after her employer is taken over by a bigger business and she has moved in with her mother, After her friend Chloe suggests she tries online dating she decides to give it a try, Chloe just discovered her husbands secret online dating profile after receiving and anonymous phone call informing her that her husband is cheating.
While meeting an

online date at a bar Paige catches the attention of Mr Right Now who happens to be meeting one of his future victims at the same bar.
He decides after over hearing Paiges online name Wild Flower to stalk her online and find out as much as he can about Paige.
. through out this book Mr Right now is planning on brutally murdering Paige for fun and it just makes you wonder how safe is online dating.
. Joy Fielding takes you into the dark mind of Mr, Right now and I loved it! The book bounces from Mr, Right Now , Paige and Chloe and the wonderful Heather, I could not stop reading this book it had me quickly turning pages I highly recommend!! Four! Massmarket female relationship drama masquerading as an online dating serial killer thriller.


All the Wrong Places opens captivatingly, with a psychopathic serial killer who goes by the online alias of Mr Right Now luring his latest victim to her death in Boston and with his eyes firmly set on the woman who is to be his “crowning achievement”.
After this punchy start I was hoping that despite being underwhelmed by Joy Fieldings recent efforts, which have put suspense secondary to histrionics, that All the Wrong Places might see the author return to the form of earlier in her career.
Sadly this isnt the case and marketing the novel as suspense when it reads like a female relationship drama crossed with massmarket chick lit does it no favours.
Not that the novel isnt both readable and has plenty of action in the lives of its female cast to occupy the reader, but it is definitely not the thriller about the perils of online dating that it is billed as.


The narrative then moves back to three weeks earlier and introduces the four women central to the story, linked by blood or friendship, each facing disaffection with their current circumstances.
For thirtythreeyearold strategic advertising manager, Paige Hamilton, life is far from perfect having been made redundant, discovering her boyfriend in the throes of passion with her envious doppelgänger cousin, Heather, and back living with her seventy year old widowed mother, Joan.
Paige turns to dating website Match Sticks is a bid to rejuvenate her love life and Joan, a widow of two years, expresses her own interests in dipping her toe back into the dating waters, despite her daughters unspoken reservations about her decision.
Meanwhile Paiges bestfriend and mother of two, Chloe, is confronted with the truth of her husbands prolific infidelity after an anonymous caller alerts her to his profile on multiple dating sites.
For Paiges cousin, Heather, who is fiercely envious of her fathers affection and respect for her careeroriented, smarter cousin and an unfocused, lazy spoilt brat, life is all about besting Paige.
. . but how far is she prepared to go

As all the womens lives unfold the story occasionally cuts back to the chapters of the creepy serial killer and drop dead gorgeous Mr Right Now whose profile catches the eye of each of the four women just as she sets his sights on ending one of their lives.
. . Arrogant and smoothtalking, Mr Right Nows contributions are written in the firstperson and are interspersed with a main narrative that rotates between the perspective of each of the four female characters.
Sadly these excerpts are short and fleeting in comparison to the heavy focus on the womens problems, More depth of characterisation, an insight into the killers psyche and a more equal balance between the womens storylines and Mr Right Now throughout might well have fostered a little more suspense.
Paige and Chloe are the most believable characters in the novel with Heather the very obvious mean girl and hypochondriac Joans melodramatic sexual reawakening all a little overdone.


Undemanding entertainment for a female switchoff generation who like their suspense near to nonexistent, Cattiness, support, love and betrayal all rear their heads at times and with the coincident heavy denouement telegraphed well before the actual event it all falls just a little too flat.
