وصف الناشر
New York Times bestselling author Ruth Ware proves that she is the “new Agatha Christie” (Air Mail) with this adrenaline-fueled thriller about a woman in a race to clear her name and find her husband’s murderer.
Hired by companies to break into buildings and hack security systems, Jack and her husband, Gabe, are the best penetration specialists in the business. But after a routine assignment goes horribly wrong, Jack arrives home to find her husband dead. To add to her despair, the police are closing in on their suspect—her.
Suddenly on the run and quickly running out of options, Jack must decide who she can trust as she circles closer to the real killer in this unputdownable and heart-pounding mystery that combines Mr. and Mrs. Smith with The Fugitive from an author whose “propulsive prose keeps readers on the hook and refuses to let anyone off until all has been revealed” (Shelf Awareness).
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This too-familiar thriller from Ware (The It Girl) centers on a woman devastated by her husband's murder and her emergence as the primary suspect. Married couple Jacintha Cross and Gabriel Medway operate Crossways Security, a London firm that stress-tests security systems. After an unsuccessful assignment, Jacintha returns home to find Gabriel's throat cut. Traumatized, she doesn't call the police immediately, which pegs her as a person of interest. The situation becomes even worse when the widow gets an email informing her that Gabriel recently insured his own life for a million pounds and named her his beneficiary. Jacintha, who harbors hard feelings about the police after enduring an abusive relationship with a cop, goes on the run while trying to identify who's behind the killing and why. Lackluster characterization and a shortage of surprises mar the cookie-cutter proceedings. Admirers of the author's typically fresh takes on thriller staples will hope for a return to form next time.

Good read
I saw that this book got a few bad reviews and I didn’t feel it deserved it. It was fast paced and well written. I loved the main character and my heart broke for her but I ended the book feeling hopeful for her. Worth the read for sure!!!!
Horrible
Boring. Nothing to the story. Couldn’t wait for it to end!
Excellent
Couldn’t put it down. Moved at a nice pace. A bit repetitive in some places but much better than other books I’ve been reading lately.
