"The perfect marriage? or the perfect lie?
Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. He's a dedicated attorney who has never lost a case; she is a flawless homemaker, a masterful gardener, and cook, and dotes on her disabled younger sister. Though they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. You might not want to like them, but you do. You're hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. You'd like to get to know Grace better.
But it's difficult because you realize Jack and Grace are inseparable.
Some might call this true love. Others might wonder why Grace never answers her phone. Or why she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn't work. How she can cook elaborate meals but remain so slim. Or why she never seems to take anything with her when she leaves the house, not even a pen. Or why there are such high-security metal shutters on all the downstairs windows.
Some might wonder what's really going on once the dinner party is over, and the front door has closed."
My Rating: 4/5
This book was closer to what I wanted from a domestic-based thriller. I had an idea of where things were going and while they weren't completely off I wouldn't have guessed to the extent these things were going. I was hooked and on the edge of my seat trying to figure out how Grace was going to get out of these situations and how she had managed to find herself in this position in this first place. I loved that we went between past and present, it helped to keep the suspense and help the reader understand Grace as a complex character.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
