Publisher's summary

After her parents' deaths on Cape Cod, reclusive 20-something Margo Sharpe lives alone in a crap apartment in South Boston. One problem: she can't afford it. So she rents her spare bedroom to Lucy Somers, a shy, allergic-to-everything schoolteacher. At first, they peacefully coexist; Margo manages to keep Lucy at arm's length. But Lucy starts to ask questions about Margo's past. Too many questions. Then, money goes missing. Relationships are hijacked. Dead rats appear all over the house. And it becomes clear, far too late, that Margo chose...poorly.

The Sham is a gripping, head-spinning game of cat and mouse, a nightmare union based on obsession and revenge—a complete sham. Because neither is whom she seems. Who is Lucy Somers, and what exactly does she want?

And who, for that matter, is Margo Sharpe?

Talk about twist and turns!

There were multiple moments where I went “woah!” The character development was good, the story was good, the narrator was good. Couldn’t stop listening. Overall a great listen—highly recommend!

Suspenseful, Fun and Addictive!

This book had me hooked from beginning to end! About half-way through, I thought I had some of the mysteries figured out, but the author is so imaginative and creative that the story kept surprising me throughout the second half. I devoured the entire book in one day because I just couldn't stop! Amazing story from an exciting author - I absolutely loved it!

Not for me

Annoying unlikable characters all around. All they do is whine and complain. Far too much negativity.
