Resumen del Editor

She told him to make himself at home. He did.

Life has been good to Ellie - she owns a successful art gallery, is deeply in love with her husband, Seth, and has two beautiful children, Brandon and Simone.

But not everything is perfect....

Lately, Seth seems to have something on his mind and has become cold and distant. And things don't improve when he invites mysterious stranger Ace to stay in their home.

Ace is charming, but Ellie can't help feeling there's more to him than meets the eye, that he has some kind of agenda. She's also aware that she is dangerously attracted to him.

Then a girl at Brandon's school is murdered, and Ellie is beyond devastated when the police tell her they think her son might be involved.

Ellie knows in her heart that Brandon is innocent and she feels certain that Ace is somehow connected to the disturbing things that are happening. She starts to dig for the truth and uncovers the terrible secret that will change her life in ways she can't imagine....

I wasn't sure

I at no point declared that I figured out the plot. there were moments when I thought I had a good idea and some of those were on point. alas the end was still a surprise.

Great story

I don’t want to spoil the end, it’s a great story. Not sure I would do the same but it does show clear determination

Terrible Story

***spoiler***

It’s one thing to be a “strong woman,” but it’s another to be a strong woman who put others down and constantly nag and undermine your own husband. It also doesn’t stop there. It’s an okay story, kind of boring and it could get tiresome after the constant whining from beginning to the end of the story. I got through most of it while hiking, otherwise, I wouldn’t finish it.

The main character

The main character is just winey and annoying, I stuck it out but man it was a bit hard to get through.

Worst Narrator Ever

I’ve listened to hundreds of audiobooks and this narrator was terrible.
She rushed through the story with monotonous tone.
No emotion at all.

much ado about nothing

Why all the culinary speak? It was unnecessary and annoying. Feels like a poor version of a Scarpetta novel when it selfishly langishes on long descriptions of what's being cooked. Who cares what they're having for dinner every night or how it's made! Or that she had just had a pedicure. Is it relevant to the overall story?

Truly awful

This is really terrible. It is difficult to describe just how bad it is. I didn't care for the narrator's performance. The plot was thin, characters poorly developed, and writing full of cringeworthy lines about the sexual tension when 2 characters' fingers touched "in a bowl of raw meat", and lamenting the disappearance of a brown camisole whose color "makes her want to drink it". My camisole is missing, my teenage son must have stolen it, he MUST be a cross-dresser!!?? Whhaaat? Ugh, no, no, just no. The back and forth inner monologues are ridiculous. The main character is dumber than a bag of hair. Save your time and money and skip this one.
