Eve’s life seems perfect. Until you have to live it.
Millie has just served a long sentence for a murder she didn’t commit. It’s her identical twin sister Eve who was the killer – and the person who framed Millie.
Millie is willing to forgive Eve and hopes they can still be loving sisters. But when she is released, instead of welcoming her, Eve coldly rejects her. Now Millie only wants one thing – revenge.
Eve seems to have the perfect life – plenty of money, a beautiful house. So Millie’s plan is simple – she’ll kill Eve and step into her shoes.
But Millie soon discovers her sister’s life is anything but perfect. She had become involved with a dangerous man – controlling, possessive, ruthless.
And now he owns Millie. Caught in a deadly web of deceit, she must continue playing the part of Eve. Her life depends on it.
Can she find the strength to escape this new prison? Or will she be trapped forever in… her perfect life?
Her Perfect Life – the stunning psychological thriller from the best-selling author of The Secret Wife.
My Review
This is one of those cases where maybe the grass isn’t greener on the other side of the fence. While I didn’t like any of the characters in the book, I was compelled to keep reading to find out who would win out. I think it was an author’s choice to not have any likable characters. It’s a little bit of cat and mouse and a lot of very subtle bullying. There is a lot of what I’d call misdirection, because no one is close enough to call them secrets. There isn’t a lot to say without potentially spoiling the plot.
A book I read in a day with an ending I did not see coming. Another what more can you want from the book.
