I received an ARC of this book from Harper in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Super Bowl Sunday 2014. Two women enter an elevator on the thirtieth floor. When the elevator doors open on the first floor, one of them is dead. The question now- murder or suicide?

I really struggled to get into this book to start, but once the story was set I flew through the book. I honestly did not expect the ending to go the way it did. The build up to the conclusion was so thrilling to read, I found myself not wanting to put it down. I do feel like the last 50-100 pages were rushed though. I also found part of the book to be far-fetched (everything with Ivins), but the way Shay played it out was brilliant. 

Read if:
• you enjoy psychological thrillers
• you like multi-faceted storylines 
• you like reading about strong women
• you are interested in law

Two women get into an elevator but only one steps out alive. This thriller was a page turner for sure that covered a lot of different angles. I felt a little lost sometimes, but it was a fun read.
