The ending had me grossed out. Never did I imagine that until closer to the end when the whole picture was being painted. This was a good book and I enjoyed the characters and the storyline. I finished it pretty quickly. 
I’m not sure if I would recommended this book, it was good but not rave about good.

I want to thank the author and NetGalley for allowing me to read this story! This book was an amazing thriller with so many twists and turns.

This book follows Addison and her new husband Richmond who was found dead and she’s the prime suspect. The towns been against her from the beginning. The recent ex wife is trying to throw her out and take all of her money. Her mother is up to her usual tricks of manipulating her. The detectives are questioning and everyone keeps showing up to her house.

So many things unravel and in the best way, this was my first book by this author and I can’t wait for my next!

This was nothing special. A by the book domestic thriller without much thrill. Book started off decent enough but by the end I found there wasn't much enjoyment in the read and without any major twists or shocking reveals, this just wasn't a book that had much to offer.
