When we first meet Arden Ward, she is a crisis management expert who has been falsely accused of having an affair with a client and is subsequently fired. However, before she leaves her job, her boss gives her one last client – Ned and Cordelia Bannister.
Ned is a real estate executive in Boston and for the last year, has been on trail for the fatal hit-and-run accident in his building’s parking garage. After he is found not guilty by the jury, he and Cordelia think their lives will go back to normal quickly. However, that is not the case. Cordelia is getting threatening text messages and she’s not sure where they are coming from. She also questions whether Ned is really innocent of the crime. When there is a second accident, and it looks like Ned may be to blame for this one too, Arden begins to wonder if Cordelia may be right.
This was a twisty read with lots of red herrings thrown in to keep you guessing.
