About this ebook

From the author of The Five Year Lie comes a new twisty thriller that probes how well we actually know the men in our lives.

Rowan Gallagher is a devoted single mother and a talented architect with a high-profile commission restoring an historic mansion for the most powerful family in Maine. But inside, she’s a mess. She knows that stalking her ex’s avatar all over Portland on her phone isn't the healthiest way to heal from their breakup. But she’s out of ice cream and she's sick of romcoms.

Watching his every move is both fascinating and infuriating. He's dining out while she's wallowing on the couch. The last straw comes when he parks in their favorite spot on the waterfront. In a weak moment, she leashes the dog and sets off to see who else is in his car.

Instead of catching her ex in a kiss, Rowan becomes the first witness to his murder—and the primary suspect.

But Rowan isn’t the only one keeping secrets. As she digs for the truth, she discovers the dead man was stalking her too, gathering intimate details about her job and her past.

Struggling to clear her name, Rowan finds herself spiraling into the shadowy plot that killed him.

Will she be the next to die?

I’m a huge fan of Sarina Bowen’s romances—she’s an auto-read author for me. I also enjoyed her first thriller. This book started off slow for me, and it took a while for me to warm to Rowan. The story picked up after the murder was discovered. The novel has both thriller and mystery vibes, as well as a bit of a romance subplot. The characters are well-developed with strong relationships. The tense plot kept me guessing. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my voluntary review.

Your heart is supposed to be pounding like mad when you finish a book, right? Because it was in this case, actually, the last third of the book I barely took time to blink or breath. The set-up, the crossed-lines, the intricate web that was weaved, and even after it all came to light, there was more. You finish and you think, and then you gasp in shock. Rowan was a great lead, had a realistic outlook, with strength to spare, and vulnerability in moderate amounts.
