REVIEW

This is a suspenseful and twisty novel. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did and if you like thrillers, then more likely than not you will have a good time with this story.

Joe is driving his son home when they spot his wife’s car on the road. He decides to follow it and watches as she arrives at a hotel and has a conversation with their friend Ben.

From that moment Joe starts question why his wife is in that location and having, what appears to be, a disagreement with Ben. With his mind in turmoil, Joe makes a decision that irrevocably changes the course of his life. What is that decision? You will have to read to find out.

I found the plot well-paced and flowing. At some points I questioned the decisions the characters made but that is the case with almost every book I read. The author did a good job at building and maintaining the suspense.

Overall, I enjoyed it and recommend it to readers of contemporary fiction, thrillers, and misteryes.
