Thanks to NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book.
Quick synopsis: Sloane is married to a US senator and undergoes hip surgery. She is placed in the care of a home health aide, Athena, who seems to have nefarious intentions on preventing Sloane from getting better. But is she actually the one who is making Sloane sicker, or is it someone else? Athena starts to have romantic feelings for Sloane's husband, Whit; but not everything is at it seems on the surface.
Oh what a twisty dark take- this one took awhile to get going and into, but the last 25% of the book had me captured. There were two main plot twists that I did not see coming at all, but it did give the villain their comeuppance once all way out in the open. Good book for those who like suspense and thriller books. I appreciated that this was too far off the deep end psychological thriller that others that are marketed as end up being. 3.25 stars
