I really enjoyed this novel, probably because it was a kind of soapy blend of mystery and Hollywood intrigue. It very much pulled me in right from the start, and I thought the central mystery and its resolution were pretty satisfying.

I really, really enjoyed this! I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrator did a great job. This was well written, I loved the suspense and it kept me reading and interesting. The way this lost a star for me was how it ended. The whole mystery was basically revealed, one twist and then very anticlimactic. In the end, if they agreed to keep each others secret, why did they even need to meet and have that fight scene? It just really didn’t alter the story at all, I expected more. But overall I did really like this, I think the audiobook is the way to go.

This book kept me entertained. I have the book and found the audible on Libby, so I ended up listening to it instead. I’d be happy to share this book with friends and family who enjoy this genre. It kept me quite intrigued.
