7.21.2018 - Believe Me

Believe Me

Thanks to NetGalley, Ballantine Books, and JP Delaney for the opportunity to read and review her latest book.  I was a big fan of The Girl Before and this was another twisty tale.

The title is very appropriate for this book - you have no clue who to believe in this book.  Claire is an actress in New York without a green card and desperate for money.  She works for a lawyer as a decoy trying to catch husbands in the act of hiring a prostitute.  When one of the clients is found murdered, Claire finds herself working for the police to try to trip the husband into confessing.  But soon, you begin to wonder just who is trying to catch who and just who you can believe.

I was less enthralled with the poetry sprinkled throughout (about S&M practices) even though that was a key element throughout the story.  Some of the dialogue is written in the form of a screenplay, which was interesting because of the acting angle.
So very many twists
