I have no words to describe how good this book was. I completely did not see the twists coming at the end and I think that's what makes it so good. As the story unfolds, you're left wondering who to believe. I highly recommend.

This was really fast paced, exactly what I needed. I thought I guessed the plot twists but I was very wrong. Highly recommend if you're looking for something easy to read and need to get out of a reading slump.

This was, by far, my favorite book by this author so far. Freida McFadden's books are very easy to read. The stories are very compelling and, even when the plot is not that good, the mystery is so untincing that we want to keep reading to know who did it.

I really enjoyed this book. Maybe I was particularly distracted, but I didn't suspect the killer throughout the entire story. I really though the was somebody else. I really enjoyed these characters, and, for a change, the female protagonist was not dumb as a rock.

There is a portuguese saying - 'Só se estragou uma casa' - that is perfect for this couple :D .

Frieda McFadden never disappoints but this might be my favorite of hers so far. I was a little disappointed at first because I thought I knew what the twist was going to be very early on, but I ended up being so wrong. I love how her books are so fast paced and easy to read. I get through them so fast which makes me want to just keep reading more of hers. Definitely one of my favorite authors!

While in the midst of a deep reading slump, I finished this book in just a day—a testament to this fast-paced and engaging story. I didn’t predict like any of the twists and I’ll definitely be reading more books by this author in the future.
