![]() It makes sense when you read it, but it’s a little jarring when it shifts. It feels a bit like two novels pieced together. Magpie starts off as a thriller and then mostly abruptly morphs into a family drama. Marisa then decides she has to get to the bottom of what’s going on with Kate. ![]() Who does she think she is? She is just a lodger. And then Kate seems totally obsessed with Marisa’s pregnancy. She follows her to a prenatal yoga class, she cooks Jake his favorite meal, she leaves her things around. It goes fine for a while, but then Marisa notices Kate is just taking over her personal space. Then Jake tells Marisa they could use some more income, so he has an acquaintance move into their house to be a lodger in a spare room. They haven’t been dating long, but they’re moving in together and trying for a baby. Marisa has finally found the perfect man. ![]() IN SHORT: This thriller book is half suspense and half family drama. ![]()
