All the Wrong Places: A Novel

Four women—friends, family, rivals—turn to online dating for companionship, only to find themselves in the crosshairs of a tech-savvy killer using an app to target his victims in this harrowing thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of See Jane Run and The Bad Daughter.
Online dating is risky—will that message be a sweet greeting or an unsolicited lewd photo? Will he be as handsome in real life as he is in his photos, or were they taken ten years and twenty pounds ago? And when he asks you to go home with him, how do you know it’s safe? The man calling himself “Mr. Right Now” in his profile knows that his perfect hair, winning smile, and charming banter put women at ease, silencing any doubts they might have about going back to his apartment. There, he has a special evening all planned out: steaks, wine, candlelight . . . and, by the end of the night, pain and a slow, agonizing death.
Driven to desperation—by divorce, boredom, infidelity, a beloved husband’s death—a young woman named Paige, her cousin and rival Heather, her best friend, Chloe, and her mother, Joan, all decide to try their hand at online dating. They each download an app, hoping to right-swipe their way to love and happiness.
But one of them unwittingly makes a date with the killer, starting the clock on a race to save her life.
New York Times bestselling author Joy Fielding has written a complex, electrifying thriller about friendship, jealousy, and passion—a deadly combination.

I loved Joy Fielding books years ago, so I was excited to choose "All The Wrong Places" as my first book from the Bookmobile. Unfortunately, I found it to be too predictable and mostly forgettable.
While this book kept my attention, it was definitely a beach read. Four women, each with her own backstory, decide to download a dating app and see what happens. Paige, is really the only one who actually tries online dating. Her mother, Joan, is 70 and going through some type of late-life crisis. She downloads the app but never meets up with anyone. Instead someone in her apartment building sets her up with a nice older gentleman. Chloe, the best friend, who has her own troubles with a cheating husband, sets up an account to see what her husband's been up too. And then there is Heather, the rival cousin of Paige, who has always been jealous of Paige-from her boyfriend, to her job and even the new mystery man she found online. That would have been enough of a story but the author decides to make "Mr. Right Now" a serial killer. Really? This didn't add much for me. Would he finally met up with Paige after several days/weeks of texting? Would he carry through with his plan and would Paige become his next victim. Would jealousy really be the ultimate karma in the end?
I felt like I was on a car without brakes. The characters were full on! and there was some kind of intriguing justice with a twist. what a ride...
