What a riveting, eloquently written novel! A perfect thriller that I could not put down. Richards brilliantly weaves a tangled web of secrets. With his amazing writing and great cast of characters it was a hard one to out away.
All in All I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it was intriguing and super fast paced straight from the beginning. He knows how to weave a great story.

Brilliant.
Liz and Meredith McCallister are the only constants in each other’s lives—until Meredith is murdered in her lake home. Devastated by the loss, Liz becomes desperate to know why Meredith was killed. But the more she digs into her sister’s past, the uglier the story gets. As a teenager, Meredith gave up a child for adoption. When Liz meets her niece for the first time, she finds an angry, troubled teenager, whose reappearance in her mother's life may have been the catalyst that got Meredith killed.
Everything was in the story. I loved it. This is a complex thriller.
Thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for giving me an advanced copy.
