This book is the very definition of unputdownable. I finished this in only a few sittings.

My wife and I always have this little game we play. She will open her Facebook, look at all the fabulous stuff her friends are doing and then she will say in mandarin “have lots of money so good”. I will reply her in mandarin “but they are not happy, not like us”. Sometimes the order changes. But that’s the thing… how do we know our life isn’t great and others have it better? Why do we even want to compare? Everyone has an idea of what their perfect life is. For Agatha, it’s Meghan Shaughnessy’s and she has a plan in place to take it all.

This is an intriguing story of two women from vastly different backgrounds and each of them has a dangerous secret that could destroy everything they hold dear. Both will risk everything to hide the truth, but their worlds are about to collide in a shocking act that cannot be undone.

The compelling story is told in alternating voices and the twists kept on coming. The prose is clean and the pace is cracking. The beauty of the story is how Robotham fleshed out both the characters. One moment you will hate them and in a drop of a hat you will be sympathetic to them. For a dude, Robotham really knows the female mindset and delves deeply into their psyche.

PS – With this novel I hit 31 novels read, equaling last year’s record, and I still have time to squeeze in 1 or 2 more. 😊
