If you put every single thriller topic in a bowl and had to pull out 24 choices and write a book containing all of those choices, this would be the result

slow-paced
A horrible plot but the writing was engaging and fast paced; completely implausible.
“I looked up, my teary eyes cold as ice. ‘ I killed Cora Granger’ “
I was hooked from the prologue and ready for the rollercoaster ride that this book delivered.
This is the first book I have read by Amanda McKinney and WOW! I absolutely loved this book. It was dark, twisty and kept me guessing and doubting everyone. I am a big fan of multiple POVs, especially in thrillers and mysteries so this was right up my alley.
Each character has so many secrets, you just never knew what was going to come in the next chapter.
I loved the detective aspect of the story, and how it combines both Rowan’s career and the domestic drama of a toxic marriage (or two!) along to make for the perfect twisty thriller. It really kept me turning the pages as quick as I could. Definitely a 5 ⭐️ read for me!

This book was AWESOME! It was my first by McKinney and wow did she deliver!
I loved the use of multiple narrators, flashbacks, and some bits of mixed media. Rowan was a complex character with a troubled past and sordid relationships. She was an excellent detective and I could feel her exhaustion and stress as she worked her investigation, tried to salvage her marriage, and take care of her ailing aunt. Her therapy sessions with Amber sometimes made me chuckle and sometimes made me cringe but every page brought something new and something important to the story.
I loved that this book kept me guessing, even when I had some pieces figured out. It starts out with a bang and the thrill doesn't let up! One twist had me saying "wait, what?" while another made me think "there it is!" and I absolutely loved how everything played out.
Based on the title, I expected this to be a domestic thriller and while there are elements of that, there's also so much more. I could totally see this spinning off into a series and I would be so here for it!
If you're like me and new to McKinney, this is certainly a stellar place to start! I'm excited to check out her other work! Thank you to Thriller Book Lover Promotions and Storm Publishing for the copy. This one releases March 28, 2024.

I can say I was honestly surprised by the ending… but that’s because the author kept us in suspense for the ENTIRE book. I was so confused until the last 10 pages or so
