I enjoyed this book, but the first half was better than the second half, so that's why 3 stars. In the first half the tension ratchets up steadily, and even though I suspected an unreliable narrator, it did not spoil that tension for me. In the second half though, the book becomes a bit of a shambles. Totally unexplained and unrelated things are brought up, but instead of increasing the tension, it just slows it down and makes it a bit of mess. The story idea is a good one--a case of assumed identity and an interesting enough back story for each of the protagonists. The book is set in present-day Florida, which is a decent setting for a book of this nature. Celeste and Daisy do not trust each other, but, at the same time, they have a lot in common. Daisy knows that Celeste is an imposter, but Daisy tries to play the innocent bystander. But when things get out of hand, Daisy finds herself in some trouble. I couldn't help thinking that it was trouble of her own making, as she made some very thoughtless and damaging mistakes. There were also some dropped storylines, and others that just made no sense. All in all though, it was an entertaining and quick read. For lovers of lighter suspense novels, this might be a good bet. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
A pulse-pounding new thriller from the bestselling author of Wherever She Goes and Every Step She Takes. If someone was threatening your home, how far would you go to protect it? Celeste Turner has a woman living in her shed. A woman who is definitely not supposed to be there. The local police, however, are ill-inclined to help. Celeste is a newcomer to a region of rural Florida. It doesn't matter that her family is originally from the area or that she returned to nurse her dying grandmother. All the locals see is a "city girl" who swooped in to secure her inheritance . . . a rundown house in need of extensive repairs. Celeste needs her new life to work, and this woman is a threat to that. Then she meets her. To her surprise, she finds out that Daisy is polite and friendly; a backpacker who is just making her way through the area. Quickly, Celeste begins an unlikely and beneficial friendship with Daisy--she can't help herself and, besides, Daisy will be moving on to her next stop soon. Why not take advantage of the extra help? Both women have secrets they want to keep buried, and when a body is discovered in the glades near Celeste's house, they must move quickly to prove their innocence and protect the lives they've built for themselves.
