Vanessa seems to be at the happiest point of her life: her career is on the up, & her relationship with boyfriend Connor is going from strength to strength. So why is Vanessa pretending to be other people & viewing houses she cannot afford under false names? It started as an escape from reality but things go badly wrong when one of the home owners is found dead & Vanessa was the last one to see him alive.
This is a really really good read. It starts off slowly but by a third of the way in I was hooked. There are several timelines in the book & the chapters move between them. I picked up the sense that everything was not as it seemed straight away & it was intriguing to see the events that led up to the murder slowly unfold. If you enjoy psychological thrillers, I recommend this one.
TW: sexual assault, abortion, gaslighting/toxic relationships.
Thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Penguin General UK, for the opportunity to read an ARC. I am voluntarily giving an honest review.
