This is one of the best domestic thrillers I’ve read in a long time, and I think one of the best, period. I read it all in nearly one sitting. The pacing of the story just increased with every chapter, and the dual POVs between Sarah, the renowned attorney, and her husband Adam, accused of murdering his mistress, made for the utmost suspense and scandal. Seriously, the writing in this book was incredible. I could barely put the book down to eat, though I definitely had moments of pause just trying to wrap my head around everything going on with this case.
Ugh, it was perfect! It’ll keep you guessing and piecing things together the whole way through as if you’re a part of the trial yourself. Highly, highly recommend this one!
