Publisher’s Synopsis:
“Two women. An office filled with secrets. One terrible crime that can’t be taken back
Dawn Schiff is strange. At least, everyone thinks so at Vixed, the nutritional supplement company where Dawn works as an accountant. She never says the right thing. She has no friends. And she is always at her desk at precisely 8:45 a.m.
So when Dawn doesn’t show up to the office one morning, her coworker Natalie Farrell—beautiful, popular, top sales rep five years running—is surprised. Then she receives an unsettling, anonymous phone call that changes everything…
It turns out Dawn wasn’t just an awkward outsider—she was being targeted by someone close. And now Natalie is irrevocably tied to Dawn as she finds herself caught in a twisted game of cat and mouse that leaves her wondering: who’s the real victim?<
But one thing is incredibly clear: somebody hated Dawn Schiff. Enough to kill.”
My Review:
Wow, I really enjoyed this one! This was a perfect fast, easy, escapist thriller.
When we hit a big twist and there’s still so much of the book left, I knew we were in for a roller coaster of a ride. And it really was a whirlwind of whiplash at times.
The unreliable narrators will constantly throw you for loops and keep you guessing. If you like a story where you never quite know what is real, this is a great book for you.
Everyone in this story is kinda crazy – it’s a wild ride.
I ended up really loving this book and how it ended too. It went in so many directions I was not expecting. I devoured this in two days.
I currently have some of this author’s backlist books on my shelf right now and I am super excited to dive into those soon.
I didn’t particularly like The Housemaid, which is her most popular book. So even if you didn’t like that one either, I still highly recommend giving this one a shot!
I listened to the audiobook version and it was really well done. The narrator did a great job with the voices of the characters.
The perfect audiobook for me is one where nothing about the narration sticks out to me. It all flows well and keeps me absorbed, with no little niggling annoyances that pull me out of the story.
