Very strong characters, but the MC just made questionable decisions which was difficult for me to look past. Loved the dual POV and short chapters, which makes it a quicker read! Lots of characters to keep up with, and at times I wasn’t sure who was who. Overall, an interesting and quick thriller which I enjoyed reading!

As a young journalist struggles to get her freelance career off the ground, she gets drawn into a mystery surrounding a group of mothers and a young nanny who was found dead.
Written from dual POVs of Tash, a young mother and freelance journalist, and Sophie, a young nanny who was tragically found dead this book is definitely a twisty ride. I found myself sympathizing with both Tash and Sophie in the first two-thirds of the book. But hang on to your hats for the last third. I always love when I don’t see endings coming and I definitely did not guess the end to this one!!
This was my first book that I have read by Katherine Faulkner and I am interested to read more books by this author in the future!

Thank you to Gallery books and net galley.com for the ARC.
