"Natty and Sean have a rock-solid marriage—with two daughters, a successful business, and a beautiful house, they are a model family. When their younger daughter falls ill on a school trip, Natty rushes to her side. Luckily, Natty’s best friend from college, Eve, is visiting and offers to stay with Sean to lend a hand in the household. But Natty returns home to find that Eve has taken to family life a little too well: Sean has fallen in love with her. With no choice but to put on a brave face, Natty attempts to start anew—yet no matter how hard she tries to set herself upright, Eve is there to knock her down again. Then Natty receives a mysterious note that says Eve has done this before—more than once—and the consequences were fatal. On a mission to reveal Eve as a vindictive serial mistress, Natty must navigate through a treacherous maze of secrets and lies that threatens her life and the safety of her loved ones."
Yes, it's another book by Paula Daly -- and I liked it just as much as the others. I used the summary from Goodreads because I was impatient to get that on the post and then write about how much I liked this book. Like her other books, Daly creates interesting and compelling characters put into somewhat impossible situations that they have to get out of. The different thing about this book is that it's more of a murder/suspense story and there's definitely a dark thread running through things. Is Eve a black widow-type? Is she out to get something from Sean or is she getting back at Natty for some past wrongdoing? Daly keeps you guessing until the ends -- and then there's a nice twist you don't see coming at all. Absolutely delicious.
