These women write the most incredible, detailed, unusual stories! In this latest, Hendricks and Pekkanen have once again provided a glimpse behind the dark curtain of female “friendship” and offered up a thriller that is complex, populated by fabulously detailed characters full of charming menace – even (especially?) when they’re at their most charming and least menacing… The authors have an uncanny knack for dissecting the insecurities that so many of us embody and finding a way to play with those fears and self-doubts until the reader doesn’t know which end is up. It makes for delightful reads that travel a serpentine path toward resolution. There were a couple of twists I did not see coming – which always happens in their books – and the things I did see were still played out so subtly and well that I didn’t mind congratulating myself for noticing them. If you like your thriller-mysteries intricate and thoughtful, a great place to start is with a Hendricks/Pekkanen!
