I quite literally read this book in 3 hours. I think this thriller/suspense with a sprinkling of romance might be where Hoover thrives.

Ok so welcome to a mind fuck of a book. Cuz what the heck was that ending. I’m still confused

is the letter the truth or the manuscript???? Like was verity lying did they kill an innocent woman like what the actual heck. I think I’m team manuscript but like I wanna believe the letter cuz I don’t want verity to have been that psycho

Such a great book tho it helped get me out of my 2 month reading slump. Definitely recommend
