I’m
a fan of Shari Lapena! I’ve read all her books with the exception of Not a Happy Family, but that is my
current read!
Most
of her books for me fall between a 4-star and 5-star rating! This one wasn’t my
favorite of hers, but it was still a really good book!
In
the first couple chapters, we are introduced to multiple characters. Having not
read the synopsis, I had no clue where we were going with all these characters,
but soon it became evident, and Shari did a really good job at intertwining all
the stories together.
A
couple things that made me not adore this book is:
- The story pace kind
of tanked at one point for me. It started off great, I was very intrigued and
engaged, but then from like 50% to 75% it got really dull for me as the
narrative become more about a trial and the legal system and those types of
books are not up my alley. Although, it did pick up near the end and I felt
engrossed in the story again.
- The ending – So many
loose ends remain, and I don’t like that. I just question why we had so much
character development on some of those stories, and then I have no clue what
happens to them.
Having
said that, it was a quick and easy read that’s pretty decent! I will definitely
keep reading Shari Lapena’s books!
It starts with a shocking accusation...
Stephanie and Patrick are recently married, with new-born twins. While Stephanie struggles with the disorienting effects of sleep deprivation, there’s one thing she knows for certain – she has everything she ever wanted.
Then a woman from his past arrives and makes a shocking accusation about his first wife. He always claimed her death was an accident – but she says it was murder.
He insists he’s innocent, that this is nothing but a blackmail attempt. But is Patrick telling the truth? Or has Stephanie made a terrible mistake?
How will it end?
