Publisher's summary

Zoe Maisey is a 17-year-old musical prodigy with a genius IQ. Three years ago she was involved in a tragic incident that left three classmates dead. She served her time, and now her mother, Maria, is resolved to keep that devastating fact tucked far away from their new beginning, hiding the past even from her new husband and demanding Zoe do the same.

Tonight Zoe is giving a recital that Maria has been planning for months. It needs to be the performance of her life. But instead, by the end of the evening Maria is dead.

In the aftermath everyone - police, family, Zoe's former solicitor, and Zoe herself - tries to piece together what happened. But as Zoe knows all too well, the truth is rarely straightforward, and the closer we are to someone, the less we may see.

Captivating story

I enjoyed this story very much. There were several turns that it took that I didn't see coming. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 due to a storyline that came out of nowhere and didn't really resolve. There were also some slow points. But overall a fine book.

Loved this book and the performance.

This book has a great storyline, a bit sad, but keeps your attention and very entertaining. Would definitely recommend.

Good performances...

Enjoyed this book, but would have liked story to continue longer before dropping to epilogue.

Excellence

What I thought was a great ride in a really good story turn into one of those mind blowing adventures you completely didn't expect to be on and are so grateful you happened to become swept up in. I loved this book! It was my first by this author and I am so excited to see there are more for me to devour. The narrator deserves a mention as well, as she was excellent. Definitely recommend and hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Disappointing

It may have been the fault of the insipid narration, but I kept thinking that this should have been a Young Adult novel. Not suspenseful, intriguing, or even interesting, and at least one character was entirely superfluous.

Anti-climactic

I stuck it out. I kept waiting for a twist. But nope. It just ended. Predictable. Wordy. And the end made me realize I wasted my time.

That’s it?

This book has set in my library for over a year because even getting through the first chapter was tough. Finally was able to get somewhat invested in the story only to be left with constantly wanting more. Every chapter was drawn out, and filled with unneeded information. Subpar.
