Review: Do You See What I See?: A Novella by Peter Swanson

Title: Do You See What I See?
Author: Peter Swanson
Format: eBook
Length: 128 pages
Rating: 4 stars
Publication Date: October 6, 2026

From New York Times bestselling author Peter Swanson comes a fantastically creepy holiday story of a writer tasked with helping a famous novelist finish his next book. But when two dead bodies turn up at the seaside manor, he must uncover the killer before the clock ticks down to Christmas Day.

Peter Swanson proves once again that he can pack an incredible amount of mystery into a short page count. Do You See What I See? is a clever, atmospheric novella that blends a classic locked-room style mystery with a festive holiday backdrop, making it the perfect quick read for thriller fans.

I loved the isolated Cape Cod mansion setting and the cast of suspicious characters, each with believable motives that kept me questioning everyone until the very end. Nicholas was an engaging narrator, and I especially enjoyed how the story unfolded through multiple retellings of the same events. With each version, new details came to light, making the mystery even more intriguing and rewarding to piece together.

Despite its novella length, the characters felt distinct, the pacing never dragged, and the twists kept me hooked from beginning to end. If you’re looking for a smart, fast-paced whodunit with a cozy Christmas atmosphere and Peter Swanson’s signature suspense, this is an easy recommendation.

Thank you to NetGalley for approving my request for this ARC.

Monday I went to work, then came home. My husband didn’t have to work late so he was actually home for dinner. Tuesday I went to work, then came home, immediately changed and got in the car to take my son’s girlfriend to the train station an hour away from us so she could head home. Wednesday I went to work, then came home, immediately changed and got in the car with my husband to head to the camp ground (we had to move the camper to our original spot now that it’s not flooded, and set everything back up for this upcoming weekend). We were there almost three hours! Thursday I went to work, then ran errands right after leaving work- food shopping and random camping stuff needed to get done. Friday I went to work, then came home, immediately changed and got in the car to go camping!

I am halfway through this ARC and will have a review posted by next week.

A library book, which is book 2 in the Naughty of Nice series. And an Amazon First Reads short story choice for October.

This week consisted of going to work in the morning of course. Then when I got home from work I was running around doing errands for camping and then actually packing for our first camping trip of the year. I have been SO PUMPED to go camping as my soul has needed crisp sunny air. Bbuuuuutttttttttt, New Jersey was hit with a nor’easter this entire weekend! We had to move campsites for a day because we got completely flooded out.

With being so busy and having no real time for myself, my reading has suffered greatly. I have also DNFed a bunch of books this month. These are the only two I am currently reading/listening to.

My mental health has been in the toilet most of this week. My husband has been working late a lot of nights, and the dog hurt himself (nothing series) but we had to take him to the vet to get antibiotics. I drove up to get my daughter from college so she could come home for a quick weekend as well.

I barely read on my Kindle this week, so I haven’t made much progress on Falls To Pieces.

I am almost done listening to Lost Talismans And A Tequila.

The school year started back up, which means I went back to work. This is my second year with my current company but my 11th year as a lunch lady.

Today we went to church in the morning, and then I attended a baby shower for my good friends wife in the afternoon. This is their first baby and we are so excited to meet him next month!

I haven’t had a ton of energy to sit and read this week. I listened to my audiobook to and from work and I tried to get some Kindle pages in before bed… but that’s about it. Wednesday I barely had the energy to pet the dog let alone stare at words on a page. (I actually took a two hour nap on Wednesday, which I never do because it messes with my sleep at nighttime. It did not this time, lol.)

I read this book a few years back so I thought I’d watch the movie when I saw it pop up on Netflix. I liked the movie even though it was different than the book (or what I remember of the book).

This is a mini series I’ve wanted to watch since 2022, and I finally got around to it this week.

Monday was a crappy day outside weather wise, so I ended up doing a ton of post writing and setting up things on the blog most of the day.

Tuesday my son had an interview, the dog went to the groomer and I went grocery shopping. Nothing too crazy…

Wednesday I had a work meeting to attend in the morning, and then my husband and I went out to dinner with our friends to a new local restaurant nearby. We also played duckpin bowling- so fun!

Thursday I had errands to run in this morning, followed by dropping my son off at his girlfriends house, then picking my daughter up from college for the weekend. I was in the car over six hours and drove 300 miles without leaving New Jersey! I was completely wiped out by the time I got home.

Friday my daughter and I ran her errands in the morning, and once we got home she helped me straighten up the house. We also baked a gluten free egg free cake together!

Saturday we did a whole bunch of nothing! I got a TON of reading in while sitting in the backyard enjoying the beautiful weather.

And today is church in the morning, and then cleaning out the camper before hanging out in the backyard and BBQing. The last days of summer are here and I don’t want them to end!!!

I borrowed A Study In Scarlet through Prime Reading.

I am listening to What We Did To Survive through Libby.

I have NOT had a chance to sit and physically read The Cuckoo’s Calling this past week. I am making it a priority to finish it before the weekend!!!

My son’s girlfriend came to stay with us for a few days. Other than that we actually had a rather lowkey week here. The weather has been beautiful and I’ve been taking advantage of my summer almost being over by sitting the backyard reading and soaking up the sunshine and fresh air! Of course it rained on Friday, booooo!!

I celebrated my birthday yesterday by being in the backyard all day, playing board games with my husband and son. Then I was in the mood for pizza from our favorite local place so my husband ran to pick it up. Then we had brownie sundaes for dessert. It was actually a perfect day!

I borrowed Sunburned by Katherine Wood from my library. It’s a NetGalley backlog book, and I am trying to keep the summer season alive, so why not listen to one last summery book! Hoping to be done with this one at the start of September.

I borrowed The Cuckoo’s Calling from the library. Not sure why I am always slow when reading physical books but it just feels like I’ve been reading this one pretty slow. I’m enjoying this story a lot and plan to make it a priority this upcoming week!

I spent all week getting everything set and ready for my daughter going back to college. Yesterday we dropped her off at her dorm and helped her set up the place. I pray she has a great school year!

If you know Delaney you know if she’s not out living life, she’s in bed reaxing!

The kids and I made a spur of the moment trip to the boardwalk on Wednesday night, just to get out and get some fresh air and sunshine. We love spending time at OCNJ!

I randomly started The Last Morning on my Kindle (a First Reads backlog). I forgot what the premise of the book is so I am flying blind.

I am halfway through One Of The Family. Should be done with this one early in the week.

I borrowed The Cuckoo’s Calling from the library. I made some progress this past week, but not too much, since I’ve been so busy. I’m enjoying this story a lot and hope to have more time this upcoming week to put a big dent in this one.

My parents were up visiting for a long weekend. They arrived last Thursday and left on Tuesday morning. It’s been a revolving door around here as my sister and her family just left from visiting us the week before. We went to the boardwalk with them while they were here and we had such a blast! ZERO PHOTOS WERE TAKEN :(

I have a best friend who lived halfway across the planet from me (we never met before), but just moved to the USA this past spring. We haven’t chatted on the phone in awhile so we made plans to do just that on Thursday night. It was nice to catch up!

My daughter will be going back to college next weekend. We have been going through her stuff she brought home from the dorm, washing all her sheets and things, and getting her all set to head back.

I am still reading a book I received for free titled The Rich’s Guy Wife on my Kindle. I technically put this down to read a quick novella and then picked it back up again.

I am still listening to The Shadow of What Was Lost. It’s a long book but I am making great progress on it despite it being busy, busy, busy around here.

I borrowed The Cuckoo’s Calling from the library. I also made significant progress on this one this past week. I’m enjoying this story a lot and both main characters are growing on me.

Review: He Had It Coming by Darby Kane

Title: He Had It Coming
Author: Darby Kane
Format: eBook
Length: 132 pages
Rating: 4 stars
Publication Date: October 6, 2026

Synopsis: It’s been eight years since “the incident” that stole the future Jerek Hayes had planned. Accusations. Negative press attention. Rabid anger from people he’s never met.

Some say he avoided responsibility for his crime. That his family’s money saved him. But he’s ready to put those years behind him. He’s moved across the country. Established a new life.

He acts like he’s gotten away with it.

But revenge requires perfect timing and Sabrina’s been waiting for this moment. Waiting for him to start over…so she can take it all away.

He Had It Coming by Darby Kane was a fast-paced and entertaining thriller that kept me turning the pages. I especially enjoyed how unlikable and morally questionable so many of the characters were, which made it impossible to know who to trust. The secrets, betrayals, and twists kept the story moving, and I loved watching everything unravel as more was revealed. Overall, this was a messy-in-a-good-way read with plenty of characters to love to hate!

I received a complimentary e-copy through Thriller Book Lovers: The Pulse.

My parents are up visiting for a long weekend. They arrived on Thursday and will be leaving on Tuesday. It’s been a revolving door around here as my sister and her family just left from visiting us. I can’t wait for it to be F-Troop back to normal around here.

Have I taken any photos since my parents arrived? Of course not! I’m so bad at that. I like to just live in the moment and enjoy life!

I am reading a book I received for free titled The Rich’s Guy Wife. I needed a book with blood on the cover for HRCYED 3.0 and this is the first one I found on my TBR list.

I am listening to The Shadow of What Was Lost. I started reading it at the beginning of the year, and about a little more than a quarter of the way through I was getting confused on some plot stuff. Then the book was due back to the library and I returned it unfinished. The Audiobook became available on Libby and I borrowed it.

I borrowed The Cuckoo’s Calling from the library.

Currently up to date with the current season of House of the Dragon. The last episode of this season airs tonight!

Patrick couldn’t believe his luck when Holly fell for him. She’s wickedly funny, beautiful, and with an intimidatingly successful father, Charles.

So when she invites him to Charles’ mansion for a New Year’s break in Scotland, all he’s hoping is that they’ll accept him as one of the family.

But everything feels a little off. Whispers in hallways. Rumours of a body that got found nearby the previous year. And something very strange about Charles’ new girlfriend.

Every family has secrets, and Patrick tells himself all he needs to do is survive the next few days.

But then the first body is found, and Patrick realises that all he needs to do is survive the next few days…

My sister and her family were visiting us this past week, so they could attend my son’s graduation party. And even though she moved away to NC deep down she misses NJ… so she likes to give her kids a NJ summer by going to the boardwalk, mini golfing, the beach… stuff they don’t have close by them.

The kids also had Vacation Bible School this week. They attended when they were children and now they volunteer there. VBS is a week long children’s ministry program our church hosts, like a summer camp for Christians.

We also went to my NJ in laws house yesterday. My father in law has a boat as he lives on a lagoon, and he took us out on two boat rides out in the bay. It was Rollo’s first boat ride and he LOVED it!

I am reading a NetGalley ARC titled Old Ham. It’s a novella so I am hoping to get through it rather quickly and get a book under my belt early in to the month.

I am listening to a Libby audiobooks, Hunting Fiends for the Ill-Equipped, the third book in the The Guild Codex: Demonized series. I am enjoying this read-along so much!

I am reading You Killed Me First, a paperback I was gifted. I barely had time to read it last week so it’s definitely a priority.

Currently up to date with the current season of House of the Dragon.

Dear Debbie by Freida McFadden is a quick psychological thriller with a straightforward writing style typical of the author. The story moves at a steady pace and kept my interest. The characters are not especially deep. It’s an easy read that may appeal to readers looking for a light, uncomplicated suspense novel.

I received a complimentary e-copy. Thank you to Edelweiss.

My NJ in-laws (I have two sets) were gracious enough to offer up their house to host our son’s college graduation party, which happened yesterday. My sister and her family came up from NC so they could attend the party… and have a week of “Jersey Summer” as she likes to call it (since we grew up here and her children didn’t she likes to come in the summertime and take them to the beach and boardwalk… summery things they don’t have down south lol).

The week was spent getting everything ready for the party and having house guests staying with us.

I can’t believe that July is practically over…. which means that summer is kinda almost over. Not cool!

I am reading a NetGalley ARC titled Do You See What I See?: A Novella. This was a Christmas in July plan but didn’t get a chance to get to it until now. Should be finished with it in the next day or two.

I chose Silent Victim back in 2018 as a First Reads choice, but never got around to reading it after all these years. I am doing really good with clearing out my e-reader (the COYER challenge) so I randomly decided to read this one. This one should be finished come Monday.

I am reading You Killed Me First, a paperback I was gifted.

This is an older show, and I am sure I’ve seen some of it before… but it popped up on my TikTok page last week and I decided to watch. I am halfway done with season 2.

I got sucked back in to Dreamlight Valley and I played for a few days this week. I have a ton of quests I have to complete, and a bunch of realms to open up. Cozy game my butt cheeks, haha!

“Canadian wildfire smoke” covered New Jersey in the middle of the week and I refused to be outside breathing in all that crap. So we stayed inside and did a whole bunch of nothing. Then we had two nasty rain storms with up to 80 mile an hour winds one of the days, so we were practically inside all week. BUMMER!!!!!!

I am reading an older Amazon First Reads choice that I never got around to reading called White Out. I am using it as for two HRCYED 3.0 prompts as well. This one should be done by the middle of the week!

I have the ARC of Dear Debbie, but had also thrown myself on the waitlist with Libby for the audiobook. The hold came in so I borrowed it. I am enjoying it more than I thought I would (since I am on the fence with McFadden books), and am about 40% of the way through.

I am not too far in to The Pallbearers Club, a book I borrowed from a friend. It’s a different style of writing and not my usual genre, so I am taking my time with it to really give it a chance.

I can’t stand Argentina so I am rooting for Spain. My son’s girlfriend is also half Spanish so he is supporting her team too, lol!

This is an older show, and I am sure I’ve seen some of it before… but it popped up on my TikTok page last week and I decided to watch. I am almost halfway done with season 2.

Since we were in the house all week, I got sucked back in to Dreamlight Valley. It’s a cozy game that you can pick up pretty much whenever, so I was just messing around on it for almost three days straight!

Nothing too exciting happened in my neck of the woods. My son’s girlfriend came to visit for most of the week. The weather was mostly yuck out- warm, muggy, and rainy. I did not get a whole lot of reading in either – it’s sort of a slump and life things going on.

This photo was from their graduation day in May.

Lately I feel like I keep sharing the same stuff (WWW Wednesdays, Salon Sundays, Monthly Wrap Up, Library Savings, Books Acquired, and obviously reviews) and it just feels stale to me.

I am reading an older Amazon First Reads choice that I never got around to reading called White Out. I am using it as for two HRCYED 3.0 prompts as well.

I am listening to an ALC of Three Reasons For Revenge. It takes place in Australia and the author lives there, so one for The Laws of Five challenge.

I am about to start The Pallbearers Club, a book I borrowed from a friend.

I’ve watched almost every single match of the World Cup this year. What am I going to do once the tournament is over? Probably get back in to reading, lol!!!

This is an older show, and I am sure I’ve seen some of it before… but it popped up on my TikTok page last week and I decided to watch from season 1.

Since I am off of work all summer, I get housework done in the morning and then have the rest of the day to do whatever I please. In the afternoon I would eat lunch, then sit in the backyard and read &/or watch World Cup games.

It’s been straight up BRUTAL outside for most of the week- this nasty heatwave is something else! Lots of staying cool indoors with the AC blasting!!

I switched it up and am reading a historical fantasy called Queen of Shadow. I am not that far into it at this point, but thought I needed a break from all the thrillers… and this ARC publishes in August so why not get a jump on it, lol. P.C. Cast is also a new to me author and I am really attracted to this cover art.

I just started listening to Three Reasons For Revenge by Dervla McTiernan. New to me author and I am excited to get into this one.

I am reading a physical book on my shelf called Sail by James Patterson. It’s an older title that I maaaayyyyyy of read before, but it’s been so long that it feels like it’s new to me. I also prefer James Patterson’s older books over his new ones lately so why not read it, lol.

I’ve watched almost every single match of the World Cup this year. Germany lost in penalty kicks, and it was such an atrocious loss. And I was rooting for Cape Verde to win, but that also didn’t happen. Lots of PKs to determine who moves on to the next round, which just feels… eh, to me.

My daughter celebrated her 19th birthday at the beginning of the week! And I’ve been pretty much getting any housework done in the early morning, then going into the backyard to watch the World Cup games and reading at commercial breaks, half time and in between matches. The weather has been in the mid 70s most of this week so I wanted to spend every second I could outdoors.

Today is Father’s Day here in the USA. My husband has decided that he wants to spend it in the pool, watching World Cup games and barbecuing dinner later tonight. Low key and I am here for it!

This is my Facebook page, if you’d like to follow me.

I am reading the newest short story I chose through Amazon First Reads program called The Safe Room by Lisa Unger. It’s only 63 pages so I should have it done rather quickly.

I am listening to The Fourth Monkey by J.D. Barker. The beginning has really drew me in, I just haven’t had a lot of time to listen to an audiobook this past week.

I am more than halfway through The Kind Worth Killing (a paperback I own). I am hoping to be finished with this one by the middle of the week.
