Selena Murphy is commuting from work one evening, after just watching her husband having an affair with their nanny, Geneva, on the nanny cam she moved to the kid’s playroom. Upset and confused she confides in a stranger on the train that she thinks her husband is having an affair. The stranger, Martha, in turn confesses she is having an affair with her boss. A few days later Selena’s nanny disappears and Martha starts texting Selena even though Selena never gave her phone number.
This begins a game of cat and mouse with twist and turns in this well written psychological suspense thriller. Told from multiple perspectives, but primary from Selena. This is a cleverly written tale of deceit, infidelity, secrets and murder that takes you on a journey with an ending I never saw coming.
Although this is definitely a great story, it had some issues with the lack of timelines between chapters. It would have helped if the author would have let us know if we were reading something that happened in the past or the present. Many times I thought things were happening in the present and it was actually the past and vice versa. As a result I was a little lost more than once. I do recommend the book for those that love the genre! This is a good mystery that will leave you guessing until the end.
