Rose Marlowe is a hard-working nurse, a loving wife, and a merciless killer. Or so she says. Despite her confession, it is hard to believe that this beautiful, kind woman could have killed her vulnerable patient in cold blood. The story follows Theo Hazel, an author who is desperate to find his next title to pay off his debts as he uncovers the truth about Rose.

I was lucky enough to be sent this book by Netgalley and this book was amazing, I have not read a thriller that genuinely left me reeling in a long time. All the twists were perfectly executed and I was left with no idea what was going to be the result until the last chapter. The book initially gave me the same feeling as Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier which I love as there is obviously something wrong about what Rose is sharing, she is in prison after all, but you can't quite figure out what its going to be. This is book is a compulsive page turner and a testament to the amazing writing of J.A. Corrigan.
