Love everything by this author. He never disappoints. Writes in such a way that you can not put the book down and leaves you hanging in suspense in the best way possible.

This was a great book. I loved every paragraph, every sentence and every word of this masterpiece! I read it in 12 hours, which is a lot for me to do! It had everything and more laid out in the novel! I sure hope There is more to come from this author! I am totally hooked!

Oh, this book is fully of messy, messy people.

As I read it, I noticed my eyes kept narrowing into slits because I was thinking THOUGHTS about some of these people – especially about Joe.

In truth, I didn’t like any of the characters. It also didn’t matter because they kept getting more and more extra and I couldn’t look away. I mean, it’s definitely a train wreck, but an entertaining one.

Also, if I ever behave like the people in this book, you have permission to lock me away forever.

A popcorn read that manages to be both entertaining and infuriating.

The two main characters, Jane and Joe, move into Jane's childhood home to take care of her ailing mother. Soon things take a turn for the worse between the two spouses. Jane still has PTSD years after her father was murdered an Joe makes a moral sidestep. Jane's brother, Dan, shows up occasionally, always with an aura of menace.
Jane is a bit naive, but Joe and Dan are despicable in my opinion.
The story is a real nail bitter, impossible to put down, I enjoyed it immensely and the ending was surprising and satisfactory. Definitely recommended!
