APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This frantic mystery puts a whole new spin on the classic warning “don’t talk to strangers.” The book’s protagonist, Selena Murphy, is seething with anger when she gets on the late train home and sits down next to a charming woman named Martha. Selena shares with the sympathetic stranger that her husband is having an affair with the nanny, prompting Martha to make an offhand comment that, disturbingly, comes true. As Selena gets drawn into a shocking plot involving her husband, her family, and a series of past deceits, thriller veteran Lisa Unger expertly uses multiple points of view to reveal one twisted secret after another. By making Selena feel so multi-dimensional and real, Unger ratchets up the tension. We couldn’t wait to find out what happened next—even if we were terrified to learn the truth.
Customer Reviews
Intriguing
Enjoyed this suspenseful, intriguing book. Lots of twists and turns that were unexpected. Sometimes a little hard to follow — with the back and forth — but this book keeps your interest throughout
Good book, suspenseful
Good book, suspenseful, but dark plot in general which is the why for the star rating.
Interesting characters
I enjoyed the book. I read some reviews that said it could be difficult to read with too many characters, but I didn’t think so. Good plot, decent ending worth the read.
