3.5

3.5 rating solely because of the ending! One thing I hate about books is when you’re reading from the 1st person perspective, like from the characters thoughts, and their thoughts don’t end up matching the plot. Super early on I assumed Sarah was the killer and planned this all to get back at him, but after reading all her genuine reactions of concern and fear and unbelief that Adam could do this, I was like “okay not her I guess” but the last 30 pages it’s like just kidding! If that was her plan the whole time wouldn’t her thoughts be about that? I know the book wouldn’t have been the same if we had Sarah’s real thoughts, but this book was so hyped up for me I was expecting something crazy and was a bit disappointed. I did enjoy the writing a lot though and it had me glued to the book so even though I’m complaining it actually wasn’t bad

How in the world was this a debut novel?!! I AM BEYOND IMPRESSED.

This is one of the best domestic thrillers I’ve read in a long time, and I think one of the best, period. I read it all in nearly one sitting. The pacing of the story just increased with every chapter, and the dual POVs between Sarah, the renowned attorney, and her husband Adam, accused of murdering his mistress, made for the utmost suspense and scandal. Seriously, the writing in this book was incredible. I could barely put the book down to eat, though I definitely had moments of pause just trying to wrap my head around everything going on with this case. 

Ugh, it was perfect! It’ll keep you guessing and piecing things together the whole way through as if you’re a part of the trial yourself. Highly, highly recommend this one!

This book was awful. The author clearly has no idea what constitutional police procedure looks like, and completely ignores every ethics rule for attorneys. It’s like she did no research, and it’s PAINFUL to read.
