APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This frantic mystery puts a whole new spin on the classic warning “don’t talk to strangers.” The book’s protagonist, Selena Murphy, is seething with anger when she gets on the late train home and sits down next to a charming woman named Martha. Selena shares with the sympathetic stranger that her husband is having an affair with the nanny, prompting Martha to make an offhand comment that, disturbingly, comes true. As Selena gets drawn into a shocking plot involving her husband, her family, and a series of past deceits, thriller veteran Lisa Unger expertly uses multiple points of view to reveal one twisted secret after another. By making Selena feel so multi-dimensional and real, Unger ratchets up the tension. We couldn’t wait to find out what happened next—even if we were terrified to learn the truth.
Customer Reviews
Engrossing
Well written and conceived.
Felt like watching a movie!
Well written, fast paced, couldn’t put it down! Not predictable and overall great read.
Stayed Interesting
Overall, this was a really good book. The plot was engaging and always interesting although there were some areas of needless filler. In my opinion, there was also something missing. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Perhaps I still had too many unanswered questions in the end.
