A review by bujoxbooked
The Arrangement by Kiersten Modglin

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

4.5

I loved that it was a short read (6 hours!) and entertaining from beginning to end as I read it in two days! The author packed a lot in just that short amount of time. The first half focused on the open marriage, which would've been interesting enough to just read about for me! The second half has all the twists and turns packed in that last bit.

I've been learning from the 2 previous books I've been reading that were thrillers that they weren't for me, but this one proved me wrong! Most thrillers take so long to get to the point, but not this story. Which I LOVED!

I'm between 4.5 stars and 5 stars...because the twists were good don't get me wrong but just one after another jam-packed and then the book just ended! (Lol which makes sense as I now see there is a sequel).

WTH!

Ok let me type this all out just to make sure I have it somewhat straight...

Ainsley sets up "The Arrangement" for them to sleep with other people because she did not want to get divorced and she knew Peter was cheating on her already. She found guys with a particular job that may go after her so Peter would try to kill them and she would be able to keep his secret so they would have to say together forever. He's a secret serial rapist that killed the other wife (whose husband was a copycat rapist) and buried the couple under their new patio and Ainsley already knew about it as she found all the underwear from the other women.
  Still WTH lol

Prior to the last chapter or two, I didn't think it was as crazy of a reveal(
of him sleeping with his wife's best friend's husband
) but wow the end of the book really did it.

I am confused though because
if she knew about him being a rapist or just having all those women's underwear then why did she need Peter to kill someone still. Maybe because of the timeline as it was 6 months later?
