Book #67 read in 2024

Ariel gets a text from Drew asking her to meet him and tell no one. That is suspicious enough, but worse, Drew has been dead for five years. This begins a story of suspense and deceit that continues until the end. I was captivated by the story and couldn't put this down. I needed to know how it was going to end. One of the final plot points was a bit of a letdown, so I dropped the rating. But I can not wait to read more thrillers by this author (if she writes more 🤞🏻)!

Thank you to Harper Perennial for the complimentary ebook.
