Unfortunately, the mystery aspect of this story lost effectiveness when the author began adding many, many different subplots into it. HWBMR explores some interesting concepts: how well do we really know even our closest friends? Is it possible to get to know someone even better after they've left this world? I loved that aspect of the story. HWBMR is, at its core, an interesting concept for a thriller: girl's lifelong best friend dies girl goes to her deceased friend's apartment to put her affairs in order girl discovers her friend might have been murdered. Unfortunately I have to say that HWBMR is better suited to the NA genre than to the thriller genre-I'm quite certain that Tucker's fans will love HWBMR, but if you are looking for a pure mystery/thriller recommendation here, I would not recommend this book. Tucker's HE WILL BE MY RUIN (HWBMR) is the first standalone thriller by a highly accomplished writer of New Adult fiction-many of you are already fans of her two NA series. This is going to be one of the more complicated reviews I've ever written, but it's important for your understanding of my rating for this book, so bear with me.
