A review by za_
Just One Look by Lindsay Cameron

I’m not rating this book b/c I skim read it and can’t decide if I didn’t like it, or just wasn’t in the mood for this type of book.

I’m thinking 2.5 stars.

The book is written from the POV of a woman who’s gone through some shit and mentally isn’t very nice to herself. Her dad dies of cancer, her bf breaks up with her. She has a mental break and attacks the bf, which sets her life on a totally different trajectory.

She starts working at a temp agency, clearly has a drinking problem. Her job is to review emails as part of a case, but one of the lawyers emails slips through and she becomes obsessed with him and his wife, eventually believing they are no longer together.

Her coworker ends up dead, supposed suicide. She has start to see the lawyer. She starts to put the pieces together. Coworker had found dirt on lawyer and was trying to blackmail him. Lawyer killed him. Lawyer and wife were still together and they were committing fraud.

Lawyer comes to kill main character. She escapes and he gets arrested.

She escapes to a new life, changes her name, but the book ends with her still having a distrust of her new partner.
