Alexandra Avellino has just found her father’s mutilated body, and needs the police right away. She believes her sister, Sofia killed him, and that she is still in the house with a knife.
Sofia Avellino has just found her father’s mutilated body and needs the police right away. She believes her sister, Alexandra did it, and that she is still in the house, locked in the bathroom.
Both women are to go on trial at the same time. A joint trial in front of one jury. But one of these women is lying. One of them is a murderer. Sitting in a jail cell, about to go on trial with her sister for murder, you might think that this is the last place she expected to be. You’d be wrong.
This book was perfection! I was gripped from the very beginning to the very end. I had no clue who had done it! Gritty, immersive, and oh so clever. A psychological roller coaster of a story with twists and turns that has you guessing to the end and constantly questioning and reassessing which sister killed their father and possibly their mother, an accident which is now in question. As new evidence is presented, more of the backstory is revealed, along with new murders in the present that heighten the tension in the story to the last word.
Five brilliant stars for this one. I can’t say anything about the twists because it would be easy to spoil this for other readers who haven’t delighted in this book already. Good sister versus evil sister. However, this was a cracking suspense thriller that kept me hooked, absorbed, and totally captivated and my favorite kind of thriller. I loved the intelligent way in which Flynn contests, and sometimes destroys the evidence and the so-called expert witnesses. I love his humor and witty retorts.
Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books publishing for the advanced copy of this action packed thriller.
