Sabrina Adams is the third wheel at home. Forced to cohabit with her sister Cami and brother in law Bruce, Sabrina really has nowhere to go. Since her mother’s death, Cami and Bruce had moved into the property, and even though it was now co-owned by the two women, three was definitely a crowd. When a job opportunity comes up that includes accommodation, Sabrina is all for it. But at what cost?

The premise and blurb for this book made it a sure fire winner, full of mystery, murder and intrigue. However, the reality of the read was far from the promises made. The amount of repetition and bulking out was unbelievable, the book could easily have been twenty pages shorter, which, coincidentally, would have made it a snappier and more succinct read. With a fair sprinkling of errors throughout (cerise is the French word for cherry), the writing wasn’t as expected. The characters were all very thinly created, too much emphasis on how they looked as opposed to how their personalities would come across.

I did think it would be a DNF, but I persevered, though possibly should have gone with my first inclination.

2* for plot alone.

Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing.

I don’t even know where to begin. This book has a cast of characters with a lot of history. The twist and turns in this book are unbelievable. There is a lot going on and a lot of plot so you really need to pay attention and have a clear mind when you go in. I absolutely could not put this book down. It starts with Sabrina, going to work as a private librarian and a house filled with secrets that you don’t see coming. I hope everyone else enjoys this book as much as I did and I cannot wait to read more of Angela Henry’s books

This was such a strong psychological thriller novel, it had that element that I wanted and enjoyed from the first page. The overall story was everything that I wanted and really enjoyed everything about this. The characters had that feel that I was looking for and thought they worked in this type of book. Angela Henry has a great writing style and am excited for more.

The premise of this book immediately grabbed my attention because I love plots that revolve around estates with secrets, people with suspicious pasts, and protagonists who slowly unravel mysteries. However, the writing style felt choppy and was hard for me to get into. Additionally, the multiple perspectives and some of the one-dimensional characterizations were distracting. Ultimately, this was a DNF for me, but considering how much other reviewers enjoyed it, I'm confident it will find its audience.

Heightened tension and over the top thriller with twists and turns that you wont see coming. If you want something to erase the dreary evenings, reach for this, you wont want to put it down.
