This is the first thriller by my favorite author Nalini Singh. She usually writes romance, but she really knocked this out of the park.
The air of unease that permeates the whole read was great. It really had me questioning the intentions of every character you meet. Perhaps the killer should have been obvious but I am new to the genre and the book kept me guessing the entire time.

This was recommended to me as a mystery romance and it is way more of a mystery. I would not categorize it as a typical romance.
Graphic: Murder
Moderate: Miscarriage
Minor: Domestic abuse, Infertility, Infidelity, and Pregnancy
The miscarriage is mentioned but does not take place on page. It is mentioned more often than once and that is why I put it as moderate.
