This was recommended to me by a friend, and I’m so glad that I read it! Regan Peters marries John, he loves her and wants to give her a good life. He works as a financial advisor and has had a great year, or so he told his wife. After John doesn’t return home, the FBI shows up at Regan’s door informing her that he’s been running a Ponzi scheme, and is not who he says he is at all. Now Regan is determined to figure things out, but with her omissions to the FBI, she’s quickly becoming a suspect in John’s crimes. And she will do anything to protect her children.
DeYoung writes a multi layered story that hooks the reader right from the very beginning. It is written and is is fast paced. There is a lot of deception in this book, but it’s done so well. At first you feel bad for Regan, but then as you learn more about her and her relationship with John and how it started, it’s harder to feel bad for her. Though, that doesn’t take away from enjoying the book at all. There were so many twists, and none of which I saw coming at all.
DeYoung uses multiple POV in this book, and while John was a con man, towards 3/4s to the end of the book, I started to feel a little bad for him! An author really needs to be talented for me to root for the “bad guy!”
Thriller lovers will love this book.
