Don't Believe It

It is well written. Story keeps you on the edge of your seat

I bought this book because I had read another book by Donlea called "Twenty years later", which was a great read. This book "Don't Believe it" had a disappointing ending. The first 3/4 of the book was pretty good and kept my interest but I did not like the ending. The New York Times book review the ending would make your jaw dropped, I would say my jaw was more clenched.

A few twists and turns leading to an unexpected conclusion. Very well- developed characters. Many different personalities and motivations. I’ll definitely read more from this author.

As I was reading this book and discovering the unexpected twists and turns which are a sign of a great author and a great book, I was thinking this was one of the best books I had read this year, perhaps THE best! Then came the terribly unsatisfying end. I had to ask myself, was it unsatisfying because it wasn’t well written OR because it wasn’t what I wanted and, I have to admit, it was the later.This is a great book and I highly recommend it. I am not sure how many readers will be happy with the ending, but the author finished it just the way they wanted to and that makes it as it should be.

At first, I found my self having a difficult time getting hooked into the book. I am happy I pushed through the. It started to pick up pace and took a few twists and turns, with an ending I did not expect.

I have read several of Charlie Donlea books. He weaves a good tale and brings back into his books some earlier characters. Had me hooked to see “who done it”. Ready for the next one.

Quick read. Very well written but kind of a meh when it all shakes out. I guess I was expecting more of a believable through line.

Kept me hooked throughout and the end was hard to pin down! Charlie is a great read and I have yet to be bored by him.

Esse é o meu livro favorito do autor. Recomendo muito.Já li todos os livros dele, e esse é excellent 👏

The third book of Charlie Donlea was ok. Your standard whodunit, but laced with office politics in the world of network tv. Now, I like a bit of escapism in my books and being confronted with said politics felt like I was just still at work, so that didn't work for me.The story chugged along nicely though, but the end completely ruined it. The culprit was on my radar and I wasn't surprised when the identity got confirmed. But then !<spoilers removed>After an extremely abrupt ending, leaving loose threads all over the place, those last few pages make me feel angry and cheated. Luckily, I've already read the next two books, or I would have skipped Charlie Donlea all together for the future.

This is a srtraight forward whodunnit presented in a round about way. Tok much details of the documentary making process, behind the scenes bickering in the studio was distracting.

Good book Lots of mystery and guessing who did it A very enjoyable read!

Wow! Loved the twists and turns, and did not anticipate the ending! Easy to read and get to know the characters, a good book for summer beach or pool side reading!
