I received a free digital copy of this book from the publishers/author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A best-selling author who remains anonymous, a serial killer and $20 million, what could go wrong?

JT LeBeau is a world-famous, best-selling author but no-one knows his real identity. When Maria Cooper finds something odd about her husband Paul, she believes he may somehow be involved in the author’s mysteries, and his millions. But Maria’s scheming soon ends in tragedy and a killer is waiting to strike.

I loved this book, and it is the perfect novel for people who just love reading and everything to do with books. Who can resist a story all about mysterious authors, I certainly can’t.

This novel was seeped in so much mystery and dark intent, it was hard not to suspect and mistrust every single person yet still be surprised when they acted in ways that were untoward. The story spiralled in so many different directions before arriving at a fantastic climax that left me gasping.

This book is set in the same world as Cavanagh’s Eddie Flynn series, as there’s mention of Flynn from another lawyer at one point. I love when authors include little easter eggs like that in their book for the different characters they have created. I also loved that this book was called the same as the LeBeau’s book in the story, it gave the whole thing an even deadlier, creepy air to it.

There were some things I felt were a bit implausible at times, and not realistic which made me bump the story down a star but overall I was left utterly gripped, and I genuinely could not put this book down until I’d read the last page.
