Was okay with a few twists and turns but none of the characters were relatable and the story line was quite repetitive at times. Certainly not a book I could listen to again.

At first I found the entangled jealousies, rivalries and possessiveness of the characters maddening! It certainly creates tension. But then it becomes more of a mystery - who is gaslighting whom? And towards the end as the truth begins to emerge it is truly gripping. But nothing prepared me for the shock at the very end. Highly recommended for lovers of psychological thrillers.
