Rosalyn promised her brother she would look after his wife after he was gone. He wanted Melanie to be happy and move on with her life. Rosalyn took her charge very seriously, and when Melanie began showing interest in one of her friends, she set them up. But now, neither one of them is sure it was a good idea. This is a fast paced thriller with multiple twists. The story is frighteningly believable as something that could really happen. It’s told in multiple time lines with multiple POV-my favorite writing style! The characters were likable as written and not-so-likable for the villains, but that’s as it was designed. Some relationships could be triggering to some readers so do your due diligence before reading. I definitely recommend this one!
