Publisher's summary

What does the tragic death of a 27-year-old Portland beauty have to do with a suburban mother in Houston?

Everything.

Only Meghan Bishop doesn't know it yet.

When the married mother stumbles upon evidence suggesting someone close to her may have ties to the heinous crime the nation can't stop talking about, she's forced to dive headfirst into an ocean of secrets she never knew existed.

Unraveling her life one startling piece at a time, Meghan realizes she believed all the pretty lies she'd been told.

And the truth? It's uglier than she ever could have imagined.

Males voices alike in places

I enjoyed the story, but had to reread several areas when male voices began to blur.

SO Many Unbelievables

Overall, I guess this is a good book. It's got some good twists. But you have to suspend belief several times. A biker who just happens to show up and offers to pick the lock of a gate for the wife? At night? In an alley? A taxi driver who actually goes into the house to find his fare? Who, after smelling the awful smells that he "knows" is death, continues to roam around the house. He finds the bloody body and keeps going, picking up things, into the closet, touching stuff, including her cell. Has the man never seen a cop tv show? He's apparently a timid man, yet he does this? THEN he finally calls the cops. And they do nothing to him? A husband who brings his illicit lover to THEIR house while the wife is gone. Her parents live in that town, the husband works for her daddy. Yet they go to the local bar to dance and get drunk? He introduces her to their small sons as "Other Mommy"? Those are just some of the unbelievables in a book full of holes. I’ve never read this author so I don’t know if she does this in all her books. If so, I don’t want to read them.

It had potential …

This book could have been good. It had all the right elements, but it was so outlandish it became ridiculous quickly. There were so many details that went nowhere. And the man, who personally knows lawyers, judges, and even the mayor, would never go to the police station without a lawyer. And a detective questioning anyone like that is far fetched. Unless he saw the man do it, he wouldn’t go about it that way.

And not to get picky, but it’s hard to believe these people were well educated with money. Their grammar was so bad I actually cringed.

I got tired of hearing how “strong” this person was, or that person was. It seemed they were all weak and pathetic. I just didn’t like the characters. They had no redeeming qualities. And the ending was worse than the entire book. I love a twist, but this one was just stupid.
Oh, and the narration between the yoga guy and the wife sounded like a bad soap opera. It’s hard to think of anything that is good about this book.

Because it’s free on here, I’d usually recommend it. I just can’t with this book. It’s so bad that even free is too much. Time is valuable, and once lost it can’t be given back.

I’m giving it a 5 star review

Let’s be real, domestic psych thrillers, share similar storylines and this one isn’t too far off from the others; however, this story incorporate unique elements that others don’t have. The characters’ personalities and reactions are somewhat unexpected, which leaves you wondering who the perpetrator really is. Just when you think you have it figured out another personality quirk makes you stop and reevaluate all the possible motives of all the characters involved in the murder. It kept me guessing until nearly the end! I don’t want to give it away, but this one would have been a fun one for book club convo!
I will be checking out more titles by this author and I enjoyed the performance as well!

Ok

The book felt rushed. The plot was shallow and petty. The characters had very little development and I was only able to connect with one of them to keep my interest and finish the book.

The one thing about this book is I can see where it could easily be a true story or at least the basic plot line. It isn't too far fetched from some of the crazy things people will do these days. If nothing else, perhaps for a free read, that may be worth a rainy day read.

A guessing game

Pretty good mystery. Kept me guessing a lot, but I began to put the pieces together rather quickly. A bit far fetched from reality, but still enjoyable.

Male narrator sounds the same

Guy speaking needs to work on changing his voice to differentiate the characters because I was confused most of the time

Great story!

Love the narrator! What a great story! Just when you think you’ve figured it out, there’s another turn. I am rarely surprised by an ending, but this one shocked me. For the first time in a LONG the ending wasn’t anything I was expecting!

Weak

Not a very original story line. There are a lot of discrepancies and unanswered questions. Who gets on a plane to visit a murder scene that is not in law enforcement? The description of Houston is WAY off (I live here). Why stay with her cheating husband? How can the parents still live in their mansion when they are broke? errrrr

I didnt care about a single character in this book

I didn't feel sorry for the wife or the murdered mistress. I didnt care if the husband/adulterer sat in prison/killed himself/carried on with his life. All the side characters were poorly developed. The plot is thin,and implausible.
I was wanting to be engrossed and captivated like I was with Big Little Lies. I would suggest that book instead.
