Kate is a high society mother, wife and doctor in Baltimore. Her husband Simon is gorgeous, her daughter Annabelle is delightful and her life seems to be charmed. That is, until the night that her mother Lily is murdered. Then Kate spirals into a maze of not believing in anyone, ricocheting from accusing her father to her husband to everyone and anyone who could possibly be a suspect. For many years, Kate has been estranged from her former best friend Blair. But now, during her tumultuous time of grief, she calls on Blair to come to her side. I thought it was very strange that Blair left behind her career as a bestselling author, her co-author husband Daniel and her high life in New York City in order to rush to Kate’s side. Nevertheless, that is what she did and stayed by Kate’s side throughout the ordeal. Not everything is as it seems though because there is a murderer close to Kate, very close. This psychological thriller is not as fast-paced as I would have liked it, but it was very well-written, drawing me quickly into the dilemma of Kate’s family and circle of friends. Lies are at the center of the story as is infidelity, but it is well concealed until the conclusion who is being truthful and who is not. Fans of the author will not want to miss this book!
