Publisher's summary

Wanted: Assistant to provide maternity cover for high-powered TV producer. Must be bright, creative, with killer instincts.

Emma would do anything to work for the woman who has the job she wants. Carrie is at the top of her game, with a dream career, a baby on the way, and a handsome screenwriter husband. For Emma, with parents who don't understand her ambition and a serious misstep behind her, this temp position might be her last chance. Carrie has given up more than anyone knows to get to the top of a ruthless business. She won't give up this baby, too. But with Emma filling in for her at the office, her perfect life starts to unravel. Her bank account is inexplicably overdrawn, her husband seems strangely distant, and colleagues are all too happy to take Emma's creative direction. Carrie finds herself dying to get back to work...until a letter left at her door changes everything.

Trust and fear trade places in a love triangle that defies listeners' expectations at every turn.

Intelligent and different...

Riveting to the point of I simply couldn't get anything done. It was long but a great story. I haven't read anything like it and I've read a lot of thrillers. The narration was good, the inside of the television series production world was interesting as well as the tension of just who was lying and about what. I can't imagine a bad review. It seems this would have broad speak to drama, mystery, and thriller lovers alike. I think people should actually read the book before they leave a crappy review. It's good, really good.

Lost me at the end.

Lovely narrator and an interesting story, but the conclusion is so far-fetched and lacks any sort of real justice that it left me unsatisfied.

Interesting story could see the aha a mile away

It was a pretty good story a bit too long to get to the point.

The Author knows nothing about babies !!!!

The author has the baby still waking every 3 hours when he's 7 or 8 months old. Give me a break! The story got too far fetched for me. Everything got very predictable Waste of credit

Seriously disappointing ending

Spoiler - Rewarding and unstable obsessive immature child is disturbing. There’s so much she could’ve done to get justice, without imprisonment, torture, withholding food, extortion, and causing someone’s death. Why not take legal action, rather than commit multiple felonies to get what you believe you deserve. Also, she has an affair with her mothers husband just to get out of admitting she broke in. She didn’t even take responsibility for assuming who told about her affair, she blamed Adrian for that also. I’m a woman and don’t believe EVERYTHING was his fault. That girl needs mental health treatment.

Enjoyable unpredictable

I love how Michelle uses the folly of humans lead by their assumptions to bring her characters to life. I also enjoy not quite knowing who the ‘bad guy’ is as each character has their own flaws that make you wonder...
