's review

it was amazing
bookshelves: mystery-suspense, netgalley
Read 2 times. Last read June 9, 2018 to June 14, 2018.

"My husband did not mean to kill Annie Doyle, but the lying tramp deserved it."

That is the opening line of the book.

Just a mere 4 pages later, you will know that the statement is not quite true.

Andrew, respected Judge
Lydia, His wife and mistress to a beautiful home in Dublin
Laurence, their beloved son

Karen, the sister of our murder victim, Annie Doyle.

You will hear from all of them.

At least one of them is a master of manipulation...

This book, the second by Liz Nugent, author of "Unraveling Oliver" (which I have not YET read), is truly unique.

Not once was I bored, or wanting to skim ahead...

I am not going to say more...I want you to be surprised.

But I am going to say, if you like psychological thrillers this is a MUST for your TBR list!!

It is available NOW!!

I would like to thank NetGalley, the publisher and Liz Nugent for the ARC I was provided in exchange for my CANDID review.

Ah! Yeah, I loved the one too but a lot of people agreed with you! I think Liz Nugent is such a good writer that I may have been predisposed to love it. She has a new one coming out soon!


Jayme I know!! I cannot wait!! 😀
