Ashley Elston reeled me in from the first chapter with this twisty, layered mystery told through multiple POVs and a shifting timeline that kept me happily off-balance. At the heart of the story are Aubrey, Camille, and Hank. They’re three characters who feel utterly relatable and likable, even as you’re quietly questioning how much you can trust any of them. And that’s half the fun.
Camille is stuck in a crumbling marriage to her wildly successful and secretive husband, Ben. Thanks to a brutal prenup, leaving him isn’t an option unless she can find something dark enough to blow up his spotless image. Meanwhile, Aubrey is still living under the shadow of the drunk driving crash that killed her parents. When the man convicted of the crime suddenly claims there’s new evidence clearing his name, she knows deep down Ben is tangled up in it somehow.
Camille and Aubrey team up with a slightly harebrained plan to dig into Ben’s secrets. When Ben turns up dead, the investigation takes a sharp turn. Suddenly Aubrey, Camille, and Ben’s law partner Hank all find themselves under suspicion.
I loved everything about this book: the propulsive pacing, the cleverly structured timeline, the unreliable-but-maybe-not narrators, and the way every reveal challenges your assumptions. The twists had me on my toes and genuinely stunned more than once. It’s a fast-paced, beguiling mystery that kept me glued from start to finish.
