Critic reviews

"The story twists and turns, jumping in time and point of view among the masterfully rendered characters before depositing the reader at a conclusion so unexpected it shocks, while at the same time the reader can see the hidden-in-plain-sight breadcrumbs that have been left along the way. Characterization and motivations sing in this absorbing, suspenseful whodunit." --Kirkus

This book was torturous on Audible

The narrator's voice drive me crazy and all her male characters sound the same. Several unlikable/psycho characters. Ridiculous story line and no closure in rather sudden ending.

Great read

Intriguing storyline with captivating ending; very entertaining throughout course of audiobook and read well from audio standpoint

Hard listen

This story was just ok, the narrating voices are so whiney it was irritating through most of the story. I thought her other book The Business Trip was fantastic so I was really disappointed in the storyline of this book.
