This book is filled with lies, cover stories, and affairs. It’s a true whodunit and left me questioning and guessing until the very last chapter!

Lots of affairs, lots of suspects. Few moments when I thought the characters seemed real or I felt what it was like to be them.

Devoured this gripping thriller that left me craving for more after every chapter! What made this already good book even better is that each chapter usually begins from the perspective of a different character so you’re always on the edge or your seat, eager to keep reading and wanting to uncover more. The length of the chapters was also great, quite short but still brimming with content. 

A wee bit of a bland and disappointing ending with no real twist but can easily overlook that because of the quality of content throughout!

It’s a decent book with a few twists and turns, but overall unremarkable. A little trope-y and stereotypical.

Good murder mystery that keeps you guessing until the end. The cliff hanger makes me want to know more to this story.
