Interesting start and just gets better as you keep reading. Needed to stay up late to finish.

Stylish, slightly neurotic and thoroughly enjoyable read.

Good twist ending I didn’t see coming.

Excellent, fast paced psychological thriller. I could not devour this book quick enough. Laura feels like her life is falling apart at the seams. Her husband recently left her for another woman, her beloved sister was hit by a car and killed, and now her daughter calls her hysterical saying she has been reported dead on Facebook. As the weird events start stacking up, Laura soon realizes that someone is out to get her. While Laura doesn’t have many friends, she feels the ones she has are trustworthy or are they? Taut and twisted, this book is not to be missed.

3.5 stars

I read this in one sitting because I was so captivated by the mystery. The author has done a fab job of creating a nightmare scenario and a slow burn suspenseful plot that I just couldn't put down. I really felt for Laura and her plight as she tries to unravel why all of a sudden, she's supposedly dead. I found myself second guessing my lead suspect as the story progressed and was genuinely thrilled with the twist. All in all, a really great thriller that took me surprise.

Laura Swallow is dead.
A life cut tragically short, says the newspaper obituary.
But that’s a lie.
Estate agent Laura did not die in a car accident. She is alive and well.
At first, Laura thinks it’s a sick joke.
But multiple announcements of her death are followed by increasingly sinister real-life events. Already fragile, struggling to recover from a recent divorce, Laura is plunged into a living nightmare.
Who can she trust? Her new lover? Her clients and work colleagues? What about her ex-husband and his smug fiancée? Can Laura even rely on her best friends? And why is it that Laura’s present troubles are so tied up with her sister’s sudden death all those years ago?
But one thing Laura is sure of – someone out there wants her to suffer. Wants her gone.
Forever.

Interesting read. Story was okay, not my favorite. Found myself getting bored at times. It was okay.

I received an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review

A bit of a mixed review cash I really enjoyed the story as entertainment, but the killer is someone who is pretty obviously bad news from the beginning, and you question why the protagonist did not see that. Most of the characters are fun and the writing style is breezy, but there is no real twist and no one is shocked when the truth is revealed. Good enough for three.
