This was a very clever story. It’s told from two POV’s Maggie and Erin. Will and Erin begin to have marital problems that Will doesn’t understand. Erin is scared of him and just knows he has done something but has no idea what. Eventually Will has to move out. They both agree to see a therapist Maggie Day. Maggie somewhat sides with Will from the beginning and that makes Erin mad. Maggie becomes way too involved in their marriage and their problems and soon discovers there is a connection to the murder of her sister Lilly years ago. This is what I like to call a solid read. I found myself staying up wanting to read one more chapter. I did feel like there was some repetition that could have been avoided but a very easy book to read. It’s not the most compelling book I’ve read this year but I very much enjoyed the plot and the way the author delivered it. 

Thank you Crooked Lane Books and NetGalley for this sneak peak! Publication date is December 5, 2023.
