This is an example of domestic suspense done right and I say that because a huge plot point to this book was so "out there" to me personally and I found it hard to believe that so many people, couples, were okay with this and even maintained such levels of discreetness in regards to it a bit tough to swallow. This will make no sense to those that haven't read this but to elaborate more would be a spoiler so I must keep this as vague as possible. The thing is even with my reservations in regards to this plot point I was flipping pages faster than ever. It never hindered my reading experience and I can only attest that to McCreights writing skills. With mouth gaping reveals and shocking surprises along the way this book made me a happy reader. 4 stars!
