She’s a friendly voice on the phone. But can you trust her?

The people who call End of the Line need hope. They need reassurance that life is worth living. But some are unlucky enough to get through to Laura. Laura doesn’t want them to hope. She wants them to die.

Laura hasn’t had it easy: she’s survived sickness and a difficult marriage only to find herself heading for forty, unsettled and angry. She doesn’t love talking to people worse off than she is. She craves it.

But now someone’s on to her—Ryan, whose world falls apart when his pregnant wife ends her life, hand in hand with a stranger. Who was this man, and why did they choose to die together?

The sinister truth is within Ryan’s grasp, but he has no idea of the desperate lengths Laura will go to…

Because the best thing about being a Good Samaritan is that you can get away with murder.

Revised edition: This edition of The Good Samaritan includes editorial revisions.

The Good Samaritan returns with a fresh cover. This version incorporates an exclusive epilogue; while this enhances the reading experience, the main narrative is unchanged from earlier editions.

The story flowed quickly and I had absolutely no idea where it was going. The bonus chapter helped to draw the story to an end.

Tense and gripping

Just when I think I can’t run across a more unhinged FMC, I read about another one. Laura has officially made the list of one of the top unhinged. If you’re obsessed with a d3ath, working for a call center at a suic!de prevention hotline may not be the best fit right? I think Laura missed that memo. John Marrs wastes no time letting readers know early on if something isn’t quite right here.

She appears to have met her match with Ryan, but is there ever really a match for someone with this level of delusion? Hearing the story told from Laura & Ryan’s POV added depth to the story and the narrators in the audiobook do a great job with both. Overall a good read if you enjoy stories with multiple storylines!

Insanity at its finest!

The ending was so disapointing. After spending hours listening to this story, the ending was such a let down, I feel like I wasted my time

initially, the story line was very good. The main character was well written
