Reads like a 90's erotica thriller (like Fatal Attraction or Basic Instinct). There are twists.

This book was really good in the beginning. At first I couldn’t put it down. But half way through the book, it became difficult to get through. There was only 1 plot twist. The ending was kind of boring. Ended up being a little disappointed.

A wild cat & mouse story. Loved the multiple POVs and nods to Agatha Christie along with other famous mystery writers.
