I picked this book for its title (it intrigued me), but the author sucked me into the story from the first sentence—written from the antagonist’s point of view about a scheme he/she was perpetrating.

The main character in this book is also a mom and wife, but unlike a lot of other domestic thrillers, Elisa Wright is happy with her life. The problem isn’t her suspiciously-acting husband, but her brother-in-law, who was going to marry her good friend…until that friend went missing. The dips and swerves in this book had me convinced I knew what was going to come next, but I did not! I’ll admit, I do…
