How good is this book? So good that I couldn’t put it down! I woke up early so I could finish it before going to work. Swanson is extremely gifted and, again, has written a fantastic mystery about a group of people who come together to become players in this bizarre, enthralling, story.

It is narrated by several of the players. There are various connected murders, connected to 2 of the characters. Henry Kimbell, the protagonist, is drawn into the plot when he is hired to trail a cheating spouse. From that point, the unraveling begins. The author tells us the murderous backstories.

Obviously, the book held my interest and I was amazed by the perfect closure that strung all the characters and events together.

Thank you Netgalley for this wonderful read. Totally engaging and satisfying.

I absolutely love Peter Swanson and will read anything he writes. This was a great (sort-of) sequel to a prior book, The Kind Worth Killing. I loved both books....this one was a quick read for me - I didn't want to put it down. The settings were great. Looking forward to recommending this book in March. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy.
