Another suspenseful, unputdownable 5 star thriller from Kiersten Modglin. 

This book is about Wes and his family. Tbis book made me realized that all employees in the workplace are replaceable and family and self should be the top priprity always.

The story was told from  a linear timeline with little snippets from the past and also, it was told from a very minimal number of perspectives which made the sto easy to understand. It is a very quick read with a little bit of absurdity which made the story more thrilling.

Agaiin, this is a 5 star read that can entertain newbies and tenured thriller fans because of its twist and turns a
over story telling manner that is easy to grasp.

I’ve read all but one of Modglin’s books. She is always a go-to for those easy read thrillers. I put this one off because I usually avoid those crazies- like the crazy roommate, mother-in-law, ex, child, etc. I was really not expecting a male protagonist. That brought an interesting spin to the typical story of this type. Poor Wesley, his wife has kicked him out of the house when he runs into an old classmate that offers him a room. While trying to mend his marriage, the other parts of his life begin to unravel as well. What role, if any, does his roommate play? With everything at stake (his wife, child, job), will he ever get his life back?

While no real twist, I enjoyed the ride nonetheless. I read it in a few hours and look forward to more of Modglin’s books in the future!
