Fiona Davis once again delivers on a book I can’t put down. That said, too much of the plot was bunched at the end of the book for me, and I found elements of the resolution unsatisfying.

You’ll enjoy this one if you like: complicated female characters with ambition, dual timelines, an element of mystery, and a strong NYC setting.

Be aware that the synopsis mentions plot elements that don’t come up until the last 1/3 of the book.
