Thrilling story by Caroline Overington! Great as always and un-put-downable. Was just great, and would highly recommend to others.

(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

Loren Wynne-Estes appears to have it all: she's the girl from the wrong side of the tracks who's landed a handsome husband, a stunning home, a fleet of shiny cars and two beautiful daughters ...
Then one day a fellow parent taps Loren on the shoulder outside the grand school gate, hands her a note ... and suddenly everything's at stake.
Loren's Facebook-perfect marriage is spectacularly exposed - revealing an underbelly of lies and betrayal. What is uncovered will scandalise a small town, destroy lives and leave a family divided. But who is to be believed and who is to blame? Will the right person be brought to justice or is there one who got away?

This was so disappointing. I have read a few of Caroline's books and always found them to be right on the money with characters, plot and dialogue.

This one, for some reason, she decided to set in the US and it is filled with cliché after cliché, dialogue that sounds weird to me, and characters that are flat and insipid.

I guess she was trying to cash in on the "Gone Girl / Girl on a Train" successes but, really, this wasn't going to do it.

However, I won't give up on Caroline. She has written a number of great suspense novels and I will come back for the next one!
