It’s been awhile since I read a thriller - I’m not opposed, but they aren’t in my top three genres. This was the perfect novel to reintroduce me to domestic suspense. If you crave a high body count and fantastical plot twists, you probably won’t enjoy this. If you like complicated characters, an increasing sense of dread, a beautiful setting, and a shocking yet believable twist, add this to you summer TBR list.

The story is told from three points of view: Emily, the aspiring-actor assistant; Scott, the successful executive husband; and Nina, wife and mother. The setting is a rambling estate in the French countryside. To share more risks spoilers.

This was the perfect escape on a hot summer Saturday. Thank you to Minotaur Books for this gifted ARC; all thoughts are my own.
