Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Ballantine Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Lisa Lutz - 4.5 stars rounded up!
Luna and Owen have been best friends since they first met in college. Years later, they are both married to other people and living within blocks of each other, having remained best friends. Luna finds Owen's wife dead body in a cemetery and Owen is considered the prime suspect. All of this brings to mind another woman's death - Owen's on/off girlfriend, Scarlett, was found dead when they were in college and again Owen was considered a suspect. The investigation tears open secrets that both have been keeping.
This book is told in two timelines - the background story while they were in college and present day. It's also told in multiple POVs - sometimes switching in the same paragraph. I actually loved this style of writing - it felt like I was privy to all these characters' thoughts. Everyone is keeping secrets here which threaten all of their relationships and behaviors. I was held captive to this story and these characters. Another winner by Lisa Lutz!
