Goodreads Synopsis:
After killing an intruder in self-defense, a wealthy London mother must unravel a terrifying mystery filled with twists and turns, from the author of the “deliciously twisted thriller” (People) The Other Mothers.
Alice, a professional mother of one, is hosting a playdate with friends at her upscale London home when a disturbed man breaks in. With her child in the next room, Alice panics and kills him—an act later ruled to have been in self-defense.
Everyone tries to encourage Alice to move on with her life—but with strange comments appearing online, a mysterious phone call telling her all is not as it seems, and her husband, nanny, and friends behaving strangely, Alice finds herself drawn to the mystery of who her intruder really was. As she digs deeper, she discovers a trail of dark secrets that spiral closer to home than she ever could have imagined.

I think I have been too negative lately, so let me start by saying that I have the utmost respect and appreciation for authors…who am I to judge? I can barely create an original thought. That being said, this book didn’t hook me. It did pick up after the first 100 pages, but I can barely remember what happened now.

I liked it. There are lots of details to follow, but the story moves quickly and is very original. Alice can be somewhat annoying, and she definitely makes quite a few poor choices. I did get confused from time to time, but the book is enjoyable. Not memorable, but enjoyable.
