Publisher's summary

Lauren Stillwell isn't your average damsel in distress.

When the NYPD cop discovers her husband leaving a hotel with another woman, she decides to beat him at his own game. But her revenge goes dangerously awry, and she finds her world spiraling into a hell that becomes more terrifying by the hour.

In a further twist of fate, Lauren must take on a job that threatens everything she stands for. Now, she's paralyzed by a deadly secret that could tear her life apart. With her job and marriage on the line, Lauren's desire for retribution becomes a lethal inferno as she fights to save her livelihood - and her life.

Patterson takes us on a twisting roller-coaster ride of thrills in his most gripping novel yet. This story of love, lust, and dangerous secrets will have listeners' hearts pounding.

Every time I thought the end was coming...a new log was piled on top of the fire! Couldn't put it down. Mystery, thriller, romance, and murder this is a must have!!!

I enjoyed this book, the storyline good kept me listening till the end. I love the twists in these books you think you know but are thrown for a loop. The narration was great.

Gimmicky production severely detracted from book

The spooky keyboard under the reader was almost enough to make me return this book. Also definitely still not one of Patersons’ best efforts.

The Quickie

This book was excellent. Another hit for James Patterson. Mary Stuart Masterson's narration was outstanding. The story moved along at a fast pace with a lot of twists, turns and suprises, and kept my interest the whole time. I would recommend this book to anyone, and, in fact, have done so.

Twists and Turns

Entertaining book overall. However, the authors worked overboard to keep the plot and characters changing which wasn't always necessary and was distracting. A few changes are fine but not a steady stream. Kept me listening though.

Twisted

I was surprised at the number of twists and turns there were in the book. To say that Lauren took full advantage if her white privilege is an understatement.
