Many thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by the author duo known as Katherine Greene. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!
Based on real events, childhood sweethearts Rhett and Lucinda seem to have the perfect marriage and the child they always wanted. But 15 years ago, the couple was involved in a tragic event which has now reared its head along with new evidence. Lucinda’s dad has always smoothed out all the rough edges for her, but can he save her this time?
I am a big fan of this writing duo and was so anxious for their latest book - and it did not disappoint. Told in three different timelines from multiple POV, this story is atmospheric and full of dark secrets. Its small town setting adds to the tension, where everyone pretends to believe your story, but is more than happy to gossip about you behind your back. There aren’t likeable characters here and toxic masculinity and violence abound. I liked the short chapters and the addition of text conversations in between to further the story and keep me absolutely glued to the pages until that final surprise ending.
