The summary of this book was what drew me to give this book a chance. The idea of a you scratch my back I'll scratch yours but with murder is a very interesting and captivating plot for a book. It was pretty good and it did not disappoint.
The characters were the stars of this book and the driving force of my enjoyment! I liked the multiple POV chapters following different characters throughout the story. Eventually the characters connection to the main story came together and the twist pertaining to one of the characters I honestly didn't see it coming! After the twist was revealed it was interesting to follow that character & see how their mindset drove them to do what they were doing.
Another thing I enjoyed reading about was how the justice or injustice drive people to do certain things they would never do or think of doing. How even the justice still never comes to some people, it still confuses me how certain influential people can get away with crimes just because they know a person or how the right amount of money to get them out of it. It really made you sympathize with the main character who had lost her husband and daughter in a horrific way. She just wanted justice that she felt was denied her.
A good thriller to throw into my rotation of trying out more thrillers and mysteries. I thought this was a nice quick read and would be interested in reading more of the author's books.
