12.11.2023 - For the Last Time

For the Last Time by Heidi Perks 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the new thriller by Heidi Perks - 4.5 stars rounded up!

Erin, mother to young Sadie, is married to Will, and they are seeing a therapist, Maggie, to help get their relationship back on track.  Erin suddenly seems afraid of Will and is accusing him of terrible things.  Maggie can't quite figure how what's going on either, but finds herself becoming too closely involved when it seems that Erin knows something about the death of Maggie's teenage sister years ago.  Told from both their POV and interspersed with the present timeline where Erin .is in the hospital in a coma after a hit-and-run accident.  

This book pulled me in from the beginning because you're never sure who you can trust.  Is Will behaving badly or is Erin imagining things?  Both seem believable but both can't be right.  What connection do they have to Maggie's sister?  I couldn't turn the pages quickly enough to see how it was all going to play out, and the ending was a real surprise!
