A Veritable Web….
A veritable web of secrets and lies in the latest offering from Nicole Trope. A buried past and a great deal to hide? With a missing child at stake, and detectives closing in, is the past about to emerge victorious? A compelling read which is often claustrophobic and chilling in equal measure and with plenty of twists and turns which may not be as predictable as you first think.

This was my first Nicole Trope and overall it was an enjoyable read.

Beverly is raising her son, Riley, however is also hiding secrets from him. She isolates them from the world and does not allow anyone too close otherwise she risks her secret being exposed....all this changes however when Riley goes missing and she must involve the Police.

Overall, it was an interesting book with a decent plot. We have all likely read stories about children going missing therefore there needs to be a hook to ensure that the reader stays interested and there was here. Trying to uncover Beverly's secret keeps the reader engaged to a dramatic conclusion which was twisty and still satisfying.

Well worth reading.

Thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review

This book had suspense, intrigue, and a crazy story! It was definitely worth reading! There were a few characters that were absolutely crazy! I would recommend reading this book, but it was just ok for me! Still worth reading but just ok! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I loved this book. I particularly liked the story but identified with great characters. I couldn’t wait to find out the end and wasn’t disappointed.

Beverly has a secret. It involves her son. She has pushed away a viable relationship for fear of her secret surfacing. Except there’s only so long she can run and hide the past. Halfway through the book all the puzzle pieces clicked together and I had figured out the big secret. Then I sat back and read until the end to see how it all played out. Trope threw in one final curveball at the end to complete the story. Readers will want to feverishly read to find out the answers. I liked Sam and Scotty the best; they were plucky and courageous.
