Synopsis

Samantha Henderson's smooth-talking husband, Gunn, the King of Sales, is offered a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity. The proposal: come aboard a startup company as national sales strategist and reap the enormous rewards -- a $250,000 salary, private schools for the kids, a beachside estate complete with cook, caretaker, and limo driver. Sam can hardly believe the offer. It all sounds too good to be true. And it is. It most certainly is. Make no mistake: the Hendersons are in big trouble. Their lives are about to be sliced open and placed under a microscope manned by a psychopath. Crafted by a master of psychological suspense, comes a slightly twisted and wholly terrifying new thriller . . . a dizzying tale of sin and its dark consequences in the cat-and-mouse tradition of "A Kiss Before Dying" and "Double Indemnity".

This is a lighthearted and moderately fun suspense thriller. It's not very serious, or even that good, but it's an enjoyable read nonetheless. Samantha Henderson is a stay-at-home, busy with shuttling her son and daughter to school and dance lessons and piano lessons, and dealing with a jerk of a hus......more

Goodreads review by Gabby on January 22, 2013

A very clever, very engrossing story I found difficult to put down. There are some minor plotting flaws, but over all, for those who like to root for the bad guy in the piece, this is the book to read. And then, just when you think you've got it all figured out, there's this sneaky twist that turns......more
