Rating: 4/5 stars
Evie Porter is a con woman who gets embroiled in a high stake cat and mouse game with her boss.
I’m not always a fan of con-woman thrillers, but this one was super entertaining and enjoyable! I listened to the audiobook, which had fantastic production quality and great narration by Saskia Maarleveld, and it held my attention the entire way through.
That said, I thought the way the plot unfolded was a bit difficult to follow at times, and I wish there had been more signposting/foreshadowing for the reader to be able to guess what was going on and predict events. Some of the characters towards the end felt thrown in with very little background, and I had a persistent feeling that I was missing something or hadn’t realized key facts (not a feeling I want to have while reading).
Still, this leaned more towards fun than not, and so, even with the imperfections, I would definitely recommend this one if you want a fast-paced and entertaining thriller!

Nevertheless, I thought this book re-ignited my excitement and delivered exactly what one looks for in a read like this! I was guessing and second-guessing the next steps throughout the entire book, and I love good twists that keep you on your toes until (literally) the last sentence.
