I wouldn’t say this was the most thrilling or suspenseful book I have ever read, but it was entertaining nonetheless. There were a few twists that I didn’t see coming. I also enjoyed all the characters’ different personalities, not sure that they all added to the story line nowhere.

Very engaging, not usually a fan of switch perspectives but this one was captivating and easy to follow while still progressing the story well. Good level of suspense, and really great pacing.

loved the journey but the destination was mediocre. Also kept imagining the Bea character as Reese Witherspoon.
Couldn’t put this book down. Just when you think you have things figured out the story takes another twist. This will keep you guessing right up to the very end.
Some books start slow. Not this one. As soon as I started reading the first page, I had to race through until I made it to the end.
Jane has moved into a small town in Alabama and needs money. She manages to find a job walking five dogs in a wealthy neighborhood -- one with massive homes, SUVs that look like tanks and housewives who attend charity events. She hasn't had it easy coming from foster homes and abusive relationships. But life is about to change.
She is in the middle of the street when a sports car driver crashes into a pole to avoid hitting her. He is not hurt nor upset but happy as he invites her to meet him at a restaurant that same evening. She is feeling lucky. The driver, Eddie, is handsome and lives in a gorgeous house. He wants to date her and how can Jane say no?
Shortly thereafter, she moves into his house. She has heard the rumors about his beautiful wife and her best friend who were now missing from an accident at the lake house he owns. It recently happened and now it feels slightly awkward to be living in "her" house. As a poor girl, she has to figure out how to fit into this new life of friends with the goal of getting married.
Each part of the book is told from the perspective of Jane and Bea, Eddie's wife. The author describes the characters to the point where it feels like each person is a little familiar. I didn't exactly guess the ending but when I got there, it was more than satisfying.
My thanks to the author, publisher and NetGallery for allowing me to read an advanced copy.

There's nothing I enjoy more about a murder mystery thriller than not predicting the ending - and this one fits the bill. ☺️
