Many thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing | Park Row Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by Adele Parks. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Connie can’t wait to have all her daughters back home for the holidays. It’s not just the excitement of the girls being together under one roof; uni student Fran is bringing a new boyfriend to stay. The empty nest will once again be full of friends, family and young love. Yet from the moment she sees Zac, Connie feels a deep unease. Zac reminds her of the worst mistake she has ever a man whose charm and good looks nearly destroyed her marriage. Then, Fran announces she’s pregnant. But Connie isn't the only one with secrets to hide, and someone is going to pay the ultimate price.
I read this on the hills of being introduced to Connie in Parks' first book, Playing Away. While this is certainly a stand-alone book, it was fun knowing the backstory. I liked how the story played out - it opens with a murder, and then goes back 11 days before and moving forward. All along, you know that someone is going to die, but there are plenty of messy characters all with secrets to wonder about. I always enjoy messy family dramas and this one had it in spades. Don't miss it!
