Publisher's summary

A woman’s suspicions about her ex-boyfriend become a dangerous obsession in a twisting novel of psychological suspense by Washington Post and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Minka Kent.

Eight years ago, Grace McMullen broke Sutton Whitlock’s heart when she walked away. But it was only to save him from the baggage of her own troubled past. Now all she wants is to make sure he’s okay.

Only everything she learns about him online says otherwise. According to his social media accounts, he placed roots in her hometown, married a look-alike, and even named his daughter Grace. He clearly hasn’t moved on. In fact, it’s creepy. So Grace does what any concerned ex-girlfriend would do: She moves home…and watches him.

But when Grace crosses paths with Sutton’s wife, Campbell, an unexpected friendship develops. Campbell has no idea whom she’s inviting into her life. As the women grow closer, it becomes clear to Grace that Sutton is not the sentimental man she once knew. He seems controlling, unstable, and threatening. And what a broken man like Sutton is capable of, Grace can only imagine. It’s up to her to save Campbell and her baby now - but while she’s been watching them, who’s been watching her?

Good storyline

This has a good storyline, but was missing something for me. The ending wasn’t as surprising as I had hoped. Characters were good, just needed more meat.

Truly an awesome mystery.

I got the book on the sale 2 for one. I am so glad I did. I won’t spoil it. But if you like mysteries. This one will not disappoint. Minka, I shall read more of your books. This one was engaging and fun to listen too. When I thought I had it figured you threw in a twist.
I found myself listening on the way home from work and then sat in my driveway to keep listening. Go for it, you will be glad you did. The narrator was excellent. Happy listening.

Spend the credit!!! So suspenseful!!

Fantastic suspense novel. I love Minka Kent’s books. This one did not let me down!

I did want to scream “get over yourself” quite a lot to the main character but I liked her. I rooted for her. I liked her job and her journey.

The ending was fantastic.

The narrator did whisper but her voice was really pleasant and soothing. She gave a great performance.

Meh

This book read like the author was under strict deadline. Very underwhelmed by the plot, character development and outcome.

Twists & Turns!

Ms Kent is a new to me author and I'm looking forward to reading more of her work. I enjoyed this story. Self-involved, self-deprecating heroine, unclear motives, layers of secrets, and loads of twists and turns. I had no idea who to trust nor what to believe. It was a great ride!

Great story

This was an enjoyable read. It was predictable but still good. A few details felt a little too unrealistic, but I still liked the book overall.
