FOR THE BEST by Vanessa Lillie is out now.
This novel is a timely and provocative thriller. It explores the depths of white female privilege as a woman suspected of murder takes an unusual approach to prove her innocence. Jules Worthington-Smith starts a true-crime vlog, revealing not only her demons but the flaws in the system designed to protect someone like her.
For The Best was my first Vanessa Lillie book, and it most definitely won’t be my last! I LOVED the character of Jules Worthington-Smith and the mystery that follows her throughout this novel.
The twists and turns written by Lillie were great. I didn’t see them coming, which made me turn the pages as soon as I finished. However, what really stood out to me was the video transcripts peppered throughout the novel. I found it interesting and a great addition.
If you haven’t read this thriller, I definitely recommend getting a copy. It’s time you emerge yourself in Jules Worthington-Smith’s life!
