I loved the premise of this book but it a slower paced read.

Terry sees a man who looks a lot like him and discovers it is his twin.. Then his wife starts acting odd and Terrys life changes.. There are more secrets than answers and with a twist or two the drama of this novel takes a turn.

It is an intriguing read but I found it a little too slow..

This was an interesting read, but I wish it was a bit faster paced! It was a bout a man who discovers he has a twin and then when he tells his wife about it, she starts acting strange and suspicious. The slow burn builds but the ending is not as strong as I was hoping for it to be, it was just okay and felt a bit rushed.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for an honest review!!
