Many thanks to NetGalley, Celadon Books and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the new thriller by M. T. Edvardsson and wonderfully narrated by Josh Dylan; Nathalie Buscombe; and Sofia Engstrand - 4 stars!
Bill, recently widowed and single parent to Sally, is desperate for money so takes in a boarder, Karla, to help with expenses. Karla is an aspiring law student and works as a housekeeper for a wealthy couple. the Rytters. The husband, who appears very controlling, has given Karla strict orders about not disturbing his ill wife, who seems intent on engaging Karla, leaving Karla to question if she is really ill. Jennica lives along with her cat, Dog, and works on a phone advice line. She meets a new man on Tinder but is he what he professes to be? When the Rytters are both found dead, all these characters are questioned about their activities.
I loved the way this story spooled out - interwoven with the events leading up to the crime from their different POV are police interrogation tapes with all the suspects, so you get lots of different sources of information. It's a bit of a slow burn as we learn how interwoven these characters are and learn all the secrets they are keeping. And that ending - you won't see it coming!
