When looking for an audiobook in Libby to try out, this one stood out as a fun read. I’m a sucker for southern domestic thrillers and was pleasantly surprised to find one when I started listening (as I impulsively clicked “borrow” without reading much about the plot first). Thankfully, I got exactly what I wanted: a quick, twisting - and twisted - story about people with dark secrets, malicious intentions, manipulation, and murder.
