When I started reading this book, I wondered if the author couldn’t be as apparent to name the book to give it away. And let me say, she did not. I had read the previous Cathryn Grant book, The Good Mother, and I really enjoyed it enough to request another book. 

In this one, there are a couple different storylines – murdered girl, suspicious husband, mysterious house guest. But I assure you that they all come together to make one interesting conclusion that is so shocking, I really had to go back and look at some parts to make sure I understood what really happened. The book is a quick read and definitely something that will feed your love of thriller. 

You can see my video review here:

Small Summary:

Life has been good to Ellie – she owns a successful art gallery, is deeply in love with her husband, Seth, and has two beautiful children, Brandon and Simone.

But not everything is perfect…

Lately, Seth seems to have something on his mind and has become cold and distant. And things don’t improve when he invites the mysterious stranger Ace to stay in their home.

Ace is charming, but Ellie can’t help feeling there’s more to him than meets the eye, that he has some kind of agenda. She’s also aware that she is dangerously attracted to him.

Then a girl at Brandon’s school is murdered, and Ellie is beyond devastated when the police tell her they think her son might be involved.

Ellie knows in her heart that Brandon is innocent and she feels certain that Ace is somehow connected to the disturbing things that are happening. She starts to dig for the truth and uncovers the terrible secret that will change her life in ways she can’t imagine…
