I could not put this down. Work became an annoyance, because I wanted to get back to this.
I don't know if it was a disadvantage that I haven't read the previous book (soon to be remedied), but it didn't affect my enjoyment of this book as a standalone.
Sophie Kent is a journalist with a tormented backstory. Charlie Swift is her best friend and also works at the same paper. Emily Swift is his second wife after the death of his first wife. They are all very complex characters with not very straightforward histories.
At the beginning of the book, Sophie comes across the murder of a lawyer, Sabrina, who it appears, is having an affair with Charlie. As she digs deeper, we see the layers peeling away of all the characters in this twisting tale. Very enjoyable.
