Clever, twisty, and totally propulsive.  

 

I couldn’t help but devour this duplicitous cat and mouse game between Meg, a con artist, and Kat, the journalist set on exposing her. 

 

Clark’s sophomore novel solidifies that she is #masterclass at developing multifaceted female characters that are dynamic.  In the midst of so many thrillers with unreliable (read: crazy, alcohol/drug fueled) female leads, Clark writes strong and savvy protagonists that are worth rooting for--- yep, even the con artist!  

 

And the plot… that juxtaposition between revenge and justice… not only was it unputdownable, it also gave me a lot to ponder. Add to that themes of taking down the patriarchy, you’ve got a solid suspense/thriller worthy of praise. 

 

Oh @julieclarkauthor …I can’t wait to see what you do next!  

 

Many thanks to my partner @sourcebooks for this #gifted copy.
