What I thought was going to be a quick read, turned out to be a slow read because the narrator’s voice (for audio) was awful in my opinion. It was like listening to a boring news anchor- no inflection, no emotion, just monotone the ENTIRE TIME! The concept was alright, but the voice definitely deflated the “mystery/thriller” aspect. What saved this book from being a DNF was the plot twist of “who done it”:  

I had my money on Brady or Phillip but it was Harper who turned out to be her psychotic sister, who was pretending to be an admin/assistant to her and Phillip. Glad Brady was actually the good guy after all.

Love Freida’s writing! This isn’t as good (IMO) as the Housemaid but it kept me guessing until the end. 

And the last page definitely added something I would have never guessed! 

Can’t wait to read another one by her! ❤️
