Tear Me Apart and Sunburn

I happened to get Tear Me Apart by JT Ellison and Sunburn by Laura Lippman, both psychological thrillers, at the same time, one on audio and one in print. They were so similar, that it was hard to keep them straight and I wish I hadn’t listened to/read them at the same time. Nevertheless, I did like Tear Me Apart better. While it was too long, the plot was entertaining enough that I stuck with it until the end. Sunburn also went on too long, and was quieter and less interesting to me. Each focuses on a central female character who clearly has difficulties and secrets. Both are mothers, but each inhabits that role differently. If you are looking for a thrilling ride, pick up Tear Me Apart.
