Julia and Sienna are sisters-in-law. Julia is married to Sienna’s brother, Jason. They have been best friends since Jason introduced them and thankfully, they have each other to lean on when Jason gets into a car accident and is left in a medically induced coma. Days earlier Jason’s boss had been found murdered with his lips sewn shut.
Julia and Sienna are both shocked when the police arrive and announce that Jason is their chief suspect in his boss’s murder. Julia and Sienna work together to clear his name and their friendship is tested. Sienna believes her brother can do no wrong. Julia knows that Jason has been keeping long hours at work and is shocked when revelations are made about Jason and his secrets are exposed.
This was a slow burn for me, especially in the beginning. As the women began to learn Jason’s secrets, things became more interesting for me. This never became a page turner or a book that wowed me; but it did become more enjoyable. How well do we really know someone? Why all the secrets? Who is the killer?
There are a few twists and reveals in this book, but I wasn’t invested enough to be wowed by them. I loved The Winter Sister and The Family Plot and thought I would love this one as well. Others are enjoying this book more than I did, so please read their reviews as well.
We can’t love them all and due to loving two previous books I have read by her, I will happily read her future books.
Thank you to the publisher and Edelweiss who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
