Suspenseful and intriguing.  Hendricks and Pekkanen did not disappoint in their newest domestic suspense.  
 
Marissa and Matthew…gorgeous, successful, and wealthy… are exactly who one pictures when imagining the perfect couple.  But those good looks are deceiving, and nothing is perfect on their home front.  
 
Avery Chambers had her therapist’s license striped away.  But that hasn’t set her business back.  Her unconventional therapy methods guarantee success in a mere 10 sessions.  
 
On the surface, this is the story of a couple seeking professional help after infidelity.  Oh but don’t let that fool you… this is a tangled web secrets and lies! And no character is exempt.
 
I devoured this slow burn mystery in one day.  While the characters often felt one dimensional, the twists and turns of the storyline coupled with the atmosphere of suspense kept me enrapt, and the conclusion was both surprising and highly satisfying.  
 
The audiobook was adeptly executed.  Narrators Marin Ireland and Karissa Vacker brought distinct voices to Marissa and Avery, adding nuance and depth to the characters and text.   
 
Many thanks to Greer Hendricks, Sarah Pekkanen, St. Martin’s Press, MacMillan Audio, and Libro.Fm for this advanced copy.
