Today Xpresso Reads is on the blog tour for AND THEN THERE WERE FOUR and I am going to be doing a round of Like/Try/Why. Lez goooo
Like Rocks Fall Everyone Dies by Lindsay Ribar –> Try And Then There Were Four by Nancy Werlin
Why: So ROCKS FALL, EVERYONE DIES is actually a very underrated title that needs more love so I am trying to push both books with this rec. Both books have families that cannot be trusted, secrets and psychological thriller vibes.
Like Mystic River by Dennis Lehane –> Try And Then There Were Four by Nancy Werlin
Why: MYSTIC RIVER is somewhat of a classic psychological thriller AND THEN THERE WERE FOUR has similar vibes complete with bizarre twists you didn’t really think would occur.
Like Pretty Little Liars –> Try And Then There Were Four by Nancy Werlin
Why: AND THEN THERE WERE NONE has the similar premise of a friend dying and the remaining group of friends trying to figure out who done it. The book has similar elements of bizarre and over the top but in GOOD ways.
Like Children of the Corn –> Try And Then There Were Four by Nancy Werlin
Why: Children of the Corn features a bunch of children trying to kill adults and AND THEN THERE WERE NONE is that concept reversed! While AND THEN THERE WERE NONE isn’t really a horror, it does have its terrifying moments (especially if you are reading the book at 1:00 in the morning like I was.)

I really like the Like/Try/Why concept of your post! I’ve only read about half of the PLL books (but I watched most of the tv show) and I definitely remember watching Children of the Corn …creepy. I’m fascinated with this book because parents are involved–can’t wait to see how that unfolds. Thanks for hosting!
