I liked the book, but it wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting something more tense, suspenseful, and keep me on the edge of my seat. I felt like this read more as a drama-type, instead of a psychological thriller.

The beginning and end were interesting, but the middle dragged on, and took too long to get to the climax. The ending, while it was good and was resolved in a satisfactory manner, felt too rushed.

Good character development in the main characters, wished there was a little more fleshed out on some of the sideplots and secondary characters (namely, Chloe and who exactly she was to Chris). I could only imagine the pain that the parents were going through after the loss of their son. Maybe it's because I don't have kids, but I couldn't really relate, and at times, the female MC annoyed me.

The villain never really came off as threatening or dangerous, at least not to me.

With all that being said, I still enjoyed the book and was interested enough to see it through to the end. ( )

A thriller. Some foreshadowing is apparent throughout this story about a damaged lives. The pace is quick though there was a lot of buildup for a brief bit of thriller "action". This was a free download with Amazon Prime. An interesting diversion from more serious reading. The author has a good command and skill. ( )

Won in Goodread's Giveaway. Not bad. It was a quick read. Not much went on until the last few pages. I was expecting more suspense, based on the Gone Girl comparison (which I disliked). It just fell really short, as if it was the bare bones of a story. ( )

Kat and Scott Hamilton are dealing with the hardest of losses: the death of their only child. While Scott throws himself back into his law practice in Los Angeles, Kat is hesitant to rejoin the workplace and instead spends her days shell-shocked and confused, unable to focus.

When an unwelcome face from Kat’s past in England emerges—the beautiful and imposing Sarah Cherrington—Kat’s marriage is thrown into a tailspin. Now wealthy beyond anything she could have imagined as a girl, Sarah appears to have everything she could need or want. But Sarah has an agenda and she wants one more thing. Soon Kat and Scott are caught up in her devious games and power plays.

Against the backdrops of Southern California and Sussex, in spare and haunting prose, Mary McCluskey propels this domestic drama to its chilling conclusion. ( )
