This somewhat reminded me of an oldish movie that I can't exactly name without spoiling it. I liked how this portrayed the bond of family and what you would do for those you love. This was heartbreaking, tragic, and unsettling in ways. It makes you think what you would do in certain situations. While the pacing may seem slow at times, it worked for the story. This was a solid mystery/family drama that was hard to put down at the end of each chapter. The writing was captivating, and the execution was exceptional. Four stars.

Thank you, Netgalley and Harper Perennial, and Paperbacks for this ARC.

This was such a good family drama and full of suspense! I love drama in families…in books and this delivered. It was difficult to put the book down, I kept wanting to figure out what was going on. Characters were good and the plot twist kept me going.

The story revolves around two sisters. Tasha and Alice. Tasha is married to Aaron and is mom to twin girls named Elsie and Flossie (how cute are their names?) Alice is married to Kyle, and they have no kids but they are both successful and rich, Feeling the strain on their marriage due to having twins, working, and always being tired, Alice offers up their townhouse they recently purchased in Venice as a getaway place for her sister and brother-in-law with the offer that she and Kyle will watch the twins.

Unwillingly, Tasha accepts and just as she is starting to relax and enjoy herself in Venice she gets a call from home letting her know that Kyle is dead and Alice is in the hospital and have been attacked. They fly home immediately and that's when all the twists and turns of this story really start! Who killed Kyle, and attacked Alice? Was their lives as perfect as Tasha always believed. Suspicions are plentiful in this book that literally has so many twists and turns. This book shows that you don't always know what is going behind someone else's door or in their past!

Thank you to NetGalley, Claire Douglas and HarperCollins Publishers for allowing me early access to this fun, twisty, turny thriller!

This was a book where every character seems suspicious, and every page gave you another mystery. . I really enjoyed all the twists and turns on this one and was was happy with the ending and the way the story came full circle from one generation of sister protecting about the abduction of the daughter and then the next generation of sister protecting at the end about the murder.

I finished this book a week or two ago, and am honestly forgetting what happened, which doesn't bode well for the book.

It felt predictable and like it dragged on. I wasn't a fan of the "allusion" to infidelity between one of the couples. There was just a lot going on with some of the back and forth. It wasn't my favorite.

Much thanks to Penguin and NetGalley for this ARC. I highly enjoyed this story about two sisters who have very different lifestyles. I found the plot to be well paced with a good amount of surprises to keep it moving, and I did not see the twists coming. The characters were likable, always a plus for me, and the suspenseful plot will keep you guessing till the end. I just wished there were more scenes written in Venice, one of my favorite cities! This is an enjoyable thriller, don't hesitate to read it!

The cover of this book was the first thing that drew me in. Once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down because it was so captivating. There were several mysteries in this book. We didn’t know who killed Kyle or what happened to Holly. Both of these mysteries made me want to keep going because I had to have the answers. I was a little disappointed with the ending. It was satisfying but nothing really shocking happen so it was just okay. Thank you to NetGalley, Claire Douglas, and Harper Perennial and Paperback for the ARC!

I really liked this! A fun thriller fulllll of family drama which I love. I really had no idea where the story was going at any point. I did guess one of the twists but everything else caught me by surprise! My only complaint is that this book felt sooo long and kind of dragged in the middle because of random details that were added for seemingly no reason. But overall I really enjoyed it and after the halfway point it was hard to put it down. Thank you netgalley for the early copy!!

Overall, this was a very slow burning book but kept me on my toes! It was filled with a lot of characters and secrets that you were just waiting to be revealed. There were some plots of the book I was a little confused on and were not sure how they added to the overall plot, so for that I ranked it 3 stars

What a great thriller. Fast paced psychological family drama with likeable, relatable characters. Did not see the end coming!

This thriller delivered a fast-paced and engaging storyline that kept me entertained from start to finish. The writing was sharp, and the tension built up nicely throughout the plot. The characters were well-developed, and the atmosphere created a sense of unease that suited the genre perfectly.

However, while the book was enjoyable, the plot twists were fairly easy to predict. About halfway through, it became clear where the story was headed, which took away some of the suspense. Despite that, the execution was still solid enough to keep me turning the pages.

Overall, it’s a decent thriller—entertaining and well-written—but lacking the element of surprise that could have made it truly memorable.

I was excited to receive access to this ARC as the title and cover made it seem like a true domestic/psychological thriller. This tends to be my favorite genre and I love to fall back on them whenever I need a reset.

Overall, I enjoyed this story. I thought it had some fun twists and felt very British (which I love), but there were a few things that kept me from loving it. Mostly I felt that the story had too many elements that didn't add to the story, or were left as loose ends. I also found the twists to be a bit predictable, and was able to guess each twist fairly early on. With that said, I still enjoyed the ride, and think that it made for an easy and entertaining read.

Sisters Alice and Tasha live in two different worlds. Tasha is a married mom to 2 children. Alice is an soon to be married scientist living a more glamorous life. As the book opens, we find the two about to do a "life swap". Alice and her fiancee will be coming to take care care of Tasha's twins, while Tasha and Aaron will be headed to Alice and Kyle's home in Venice, since they've not been away from the twins since they were born, and really want to try and reconnect and get the spark back in their relationship. Unfortunately, while they're a few days into this romantic getaway, they receive a phone call that something bad has happened back at their home in Bristol. As they return home, prepare for a rollercoaster ride of murder and chaos.

Wow what a ride with this one!! Lots of suspense and twists. Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for this one.

This was fun, fast paced, twisty thriller. It was a little predictable, but I still enjoyed it. I can’t really think anything that I’d change about this.

This was a solid page Turner that hooked me from the very beginning and kept me guessing until the very end. This was what one would call a beach Reid, it’s not one of the more literary thrillers like something byLisa Jewell or SA Cosby or Tana French that can often take a little longer too get going or to lay all the groundwork in order to reach the climax, no this is something that is immediately mysterious and kept me turning the pages compulsively one more one more one more well into the night.. I also really enjoyed this because it was something different than the typical domestic thriller with several upper class couples and all their various secrets, I liked that this focused on sisterhood in particular and and delved into all of the intricacies and complexities of this familial bond. This is the perfect book to take on a vacation that will keep you reading instead of looking up to people watch because your book isn’t holding your attention, a very strong four stars.

This was a thriller that kept me guessing. A mystery full of family secrets, deception and betrayal. Overall I enjoyed the storyline.

Good story but I had a hard time getting into this one. Tasha and her husband got away on vacation leaving her sister and husband watching her kids. The husband is murdered while away and also a missing sister.

This book was a good thriller. I enjoyed the twists and turns. I like that it kept me on my toes and I was getting weird vibes from a lot of people in the book. I was certain that I knew who it was going to end up being but discovered that I was not wrong. There were a few things that I was able to figure out but also plenty of twists that I didn't see coming. Overall, I enjoyed this book and would recommend if you need a thriller on your list.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc of this ebook in return for my honest review.

Loved this book. Thriller isn’t my usual genre but I will pick one up from time to time and this one did not disappoint. Kept me on my toes throughout the book and really had me questioning “wtf is going on here” more than once. Loved how it all came together in the end and all loose ends were tied up, I can definitely say I had no idea what was coming until maybe 1 page before. Perfectly twisty with intricately woven familial relationships and wild circumstances. Well done.
