A celebrated author Columbia Jones dies on the last day of the book tour. Her death starts a chain of sinister events for Columbia's daughter Darian, Riley a journalist writing her story and Kira, a big fan. A big secret from Columbia's past is gradually revealed.

This was such an exciting story. It's told by several alternating pov's, and also past and present narrative, which I liked. I was eager to know what the secret was, so I kept turning pages late into the night. There were several good twists and the ending was quite unexpected. At 446 pages the book felt a little too long and there was some unnecessary repetition, but all in all I really enjoyed it.

Thank you NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for a copy of this book. ( )

Complex plot involving a successful author who dies in mysterious circumstances during a book tour, leaving details of her secret life before becoming famous. ( )

This is an intense suspense novel. It's a long book but that didn't slow me down. I had to find out who did what and even though there a lot of misleading clues, the reveal of the killer didn't happen until the last few pages and I never saw it coming.

I have read several books by this author and in my opinion, this is her best book yet. It's full of secrets that are slowly revealed. The suspense level is very high and the story is a real roller coaster ride. It's full of clues that are often pointed at the wrong person and you have no idea of who the murderer is until the very end. The characters are very well written. My favorite character was Riley. She was a newspaper reporter who was always looking for the next big story but also was kind and empathetic towards other people. This is a book that you don't want to miss. ( )
