Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press and Greer Hendricks for the opportunity to read and review this great domestic suspense story!
Everything that makes this kind of book great is here - unreliable narrators, lots of twists, having empathy for some of the characters. There were times that I just set the book down after a twist and thought - whoa, didn't see that coming!
The book begins by telling the story of Vanessa, the ex-wife of Richard, and Nellie, the soon-to-be-wife of Richard. Nellie is a preschool teacher who alludes to a past experience that has left her frightened. Richard sweeps in and literally takes care of everything for her. Vanessa meanwhile, is distraught, drinking too much, and is forced to live with her aunt and work at Sak's after their marriage ends.
The rest you will have to discover yourself because even a hint at some of the twists may be enough to ruin the ride. I had a hard time putting this one down - highly recommended!
