"Truthfully, I didn’t care about what I might find. There was nothing I could discover that would scare me away from this job."

"Kara continued to ignore me, focusing instead on a potted plant in the corner of the room. That plant would most likely have been a better conversationalist. But there was also an underlying tension. Like a coiled toy ready to bounce. Kara’s sudden, jerky movements always had me on edge, certain she would knock something over. Kara was a jump scare waiting to happen."


Fast-paced domestic psychological thriller.
Anna - a young and ambitious woman with a sordid past employed to be a companion for a rich podcaster's sick wife.
Colin -the husband, thinking his wife is getting so bored pent up in her room, decided to hire someone young and lively to keep her wife, Karra, company. 'To share infectious Joie de Vivre and inspire rapid recovery.'
Mary- first wife who died from suicide
Well thought-out plot and character development..The characters are mysterious and well-written. Kept me second guessing all throughout. Included POVs from Mary and Karra through recorded cassette tapes to help piece it all together.

Thank you to NetGalley for the arc.🖤

Review: This book had a great start and sucked me in for the first 15% but then it just dragged. Anna’s character went from mysterious to annoying and made dumb decisions. Story didn’t flow and a lot of detail threads didn’t get pulled on enough and others dragged. Very much Verity vibes.
