I thought this book was unpredictable and complex. It’s a great premise for a book with some pretty shady characters.

When a con man marries their mother, has her killed, and steals their inheritance, Hazel and Kagan make a choice. They will do whatever it takes to bring this man down and recover their money. But they need some expertise on how to “play the long game” and take a chance on tracking down Ava, the con man’s daughter. Will they succeed?

I was a bit surprised with the ending, but all in all, a very solid 3-star read. Thank you, NetGalley and Penguin Group Dutton for the advanced reader copy.

Have you read Trust Issues? No?! What are you waiting for! This was such an entertaining story that kept me interested until the last minute!

Who doesn't love con stories and tales of grifters? This one will spin you around so quickly you won't know what happened!

When the estranged mother of two siblings dies in potentially suspicious manner, the two hope to get to the bottom of the matter quickly. Unfortunately, Hazel and Kagan just. Aren't. Smart. Fortunately, there are plenty of other interesting and very smart people to carry the story along.

It was a fascinating tale - one that truly wasn't sure how it would end. A very ocean's eleven sort of style con and I love every minute of it!

This book was just ok for me. The storyline was interesting enough but the style of writing didn't grab me and at times it seemed like a YA book even though it wasn't. Lots of family issues and twists and cons propel the story. I would try another one of their books.

An equal parts murder mystery and suspense novel delving into the mind of a serial manipulator who brings together a brother and sister looking to avenge the death of their mother and take back their sizeable inheritance!! Good book! Some bratty characters lol it also had suspense, intrigue, murder, mystery, gas lighting, and a few crazy twists and turns! The story was interesting! I would recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
