Kiki attends a friend's dinner party knowing her ex-fiance will also be in attendance, only for the night to end with him dead - murder or suicide? Initially ruled as suicide, Kiki refuses to believe this and takes it upon herself to investigate.

This was an average thriller, some parts were predictable, and what the author tried to throw in as big twists didn't do it for me. I was not a big fan of the main character, Kiki, and was frustrated with the premise that a woman would go this far to investigate her ex-fiance's death after she was the one who ended it. I also struggled with the romance in this book since it seemed unnecessary and took away from the thriller aspect in my opinion. Overall, it was a quick read and had some good parts, but not my favorite thriller.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for providing me with this ARC.
