Just One Look by Lindsay Cameron
4.0
Down-on-her-luck Cassie takes a temp job at a ritzy law firm because it appears she has nowhere left to turn after her own personal and career woes. While reviewing emails for a big case at the firm, along with an assembly line of temps, she comes across private emails between a handsome, rich lawyer and his beautiful, cultured wife. Cassie gets swept away by the emails that depict their enviable lives and their romantic love for each other. If only she could have that life, things would be perfect.
The emails entice her to start her own investigation into their lives beyond the emails. This quickly turns into obsession where she's basically stalking them virtually and in person. Will she get caught? Will she discover any insidious secrets while on the prowl?
From the start, this thriller debut drew me in with its succinct yet highly descriptive writing. You'll get the goods on the lifestyle Cassie covets. You get a peek into the very unglamorous life of a legal temp. You wonder what may really be going on in Cassie's mind. The suspense builds and builds while Cassie gets dangerously close to her "targets". Every page encourages you to turn to the next one and so forth. I found it exciting and a great read.
My only issues were some storylines that were not resolved with Cassie and found the epilogue a little too far-fetched. Despite this, I thought this was highly entertaining and perfect for those looking for a new suspense novel after exhausting all the other more famous writers in the genre. This author will be one to watch. I really enjoyed this book and was thankful to receive it.
