Well-kept secrets will eventually be exposed. And when you have three women, each holding tight her own set of lies, you know that there is going to be a twist or two that will force the truth to the front.
The new, and controversial, advertising agency burns to the ground one night, and our three main characters watch as a body bag is removed from the debris. Who knows what happened? Who died? And what was the motive? Was it Laura, just returned from maternity leave and concerned that her juicy job has been given to the temp? Is it Mia, the young temporary, who is outgoing with her coworkers, but shares nothing about her background and family? Or is it Janie, the owner's wife, who is conflicted about playing second-fiddle to his job?
Told from the perspectives of the three main characters, the story is balanced and intriguing, with twists and turns along the way. And the ending puts the tale to rest in a satisfying and fitting manner. The story dragged a bit in the middle, and was a bit predictable as it progressed. While I am absolutely okay with characters that I don't like, I still need to be invested in them, and I didn't find that I was captivated enough with any of these women to truly root for, or hate, them.
A quick read, with plot twists and deception galore. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced reader copy, in exchange for my honest review.

3.5 stars
This was a fun thriller following three women who are hiding secrets. Laura is just coming back to work after her maternity leave and isn’t happy about Mia, her temporary replacement, being hired on permanently. Laura wants to find out what Mia is hiding. We also follow Janie, the wife of the boss. I enjoyed following all three women, but my favorite parts were the police interview chapters where we were trying to figure out who set the fire and who died.
