The Review
✨ The Title/Cover Draw:
- I loved Eight Perfect Murders and so many people raved about the ending of this book, so I had to pick it up.
💜 What I liked:
- It’s best to read this without knowing a lot going into it. There are really good misdirection elements to keep you guessing. The suspense is truly terrifying at times, and I can say that this book is well written.
😱 What I didn’t like:
- I guessed the ending halfway through (so did Marshall), and the actual trope and plot seemed like something I had read before. However, I will say that if you haven’t read anything like this, you will definitely love this book.
💁♀️ The Characters:
- Abigail goes on her honeymoon with Bruce to an island.
🚦 The Ending:
- It’s full of action, and that’s all I can say.
💬 The Narrator:
- Karris Vacker is clear even at high speed. However it was a little harder to separate the men by voice.
💭 Reminds me of:
- Her Dark Lies with a splash of The Guest List and a smidgeon of The Hunting Party.
All thoughts and opinions are my own.
📘 Summary:
A bride’s dream honeymoon becomes a nightmare when a man with whom she’s had a regrettable one-night stand shows up in this electrifying psychological thriller from the acclaimed author of Eight Perfect Murders.
Abigail Baskin never thought she’d fall in love with a millionaire. Then she met Bruce Lamb. He’s a good guy, stable, level-headed, kind—a refreshing twist from her previous relationships.
But right before the wedding, Abigail has a drunken one-night stand on her bachelorette weekend. She puts the incident—and the sexy guy who wouldn’t give her his real name—out of her mind, and now believes she wants to be with Bruce for the rest of her life.
Then the mysterious stranger suddenly appears—and Abigail’s future life and happiness are turned upside down. He insists that their passionate night was the beginning of something much, much more. Something special. Something real—and he’s tracked her down to prove it.
Does she tell Bruce and ruin their idyllic honeymoon—and possibly their marriage? Or should she handle this psychopathic stalker on her own? To make the situation worse, strange things begin to happen. She sees a terrified woman in the night shadows, and no one at the resort seems to believe anything is amiss… including her perfect new husband.
