My sister is dead. Did I marry her killer?
The moment I first gazed into Alex’s soulful gray eyes, I knew I’d met the man I wanted to spend my life with.
When my beloved sister vanished, Alex put up posters and wiped away my tears after bad dreams. He put me back together, and I’m so glad I married such a good man.
But when police find my darling sister dead and pull a crumpled photo from her pocket, my world falls apart. In the faded image, I see my husband’s familiar face smiling back at me, his arm around my sweet sister.
Alex told me they’d never met. The picture was taken in the café where she was last seen. So why was he with her the day she died? And now I’ve uncovered the truth, I wonder if I’m next…
If The Housemaid, The Wife Between Us or The Woman in the Window had you totally gripped until late at night, then you’ll love this utterly unputdownable psychological thriller from Amazon charts bestseller Georgina Cross.
Synopsis – Lauren’s sister Ellie disappeared when Ellie was working in New Orleans. Lauren’s husband, Alex’s brother Clive also disappeared along with Ellie as well. Both Lauren and Alex seemed to have a hard time moving on. Then one day, Lauren received a phone call from a detective in New Orleans. Ellie’s body was found in an abandoned house. And it was believed to be a possible murder. Through Ellie’s remains, the detectives recover some pictures that were there and the detective forward those pictures to Lauren to see if she recognized anyone. And as Lauren carefully studied the pictures, she was shocked to see her husband, Alex posing in a picture next to her sister. Is her husband after all responsible for her sister’s murder?
Good points – The writing was really great and I like the setting–changing sceneries between Lake Michigan and Louisiana. The pacing was fast and also I like how the author left with a small cliff hanger at the end.
Bad point – I actually have read books from this author before but usually she has couple of other main characters POVs. However in this one, we only have Lauren’s POV which in my opinion doesn’t really work well with this book. I think if we have Alex’s POV in this book would have made the book a little better.
Overall verdict. – This was a quick read and also good for ones who like to read pop corn readers. If you are a fan of Freida McFadden, Mary Kubica, then this book will be perfect for you. Worth four stars.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.
