Overview
A wonderfully compelling and wildly intelligent exploration of moral corruption.”― William Kent Krueger, New York Times bestselling author
He conned first, but she conned harder.
Regan Peters knows her husband John wants to give her and their children a good life. The long hours he puts in as a financial advisor prove his dedication, and despite how mysterious he is about his past, that’s been enough for her to get through the hard days. Until the FBI shows up at their door, and Regan learns that her husband has been running a Ponzi scheme, is mixed up with dangerous criminals, and has been living under an assumed identity all these years. Everything she thought she knew about her life has been a lie.
That includes the present John gifted her the day before he disappeared―a lake house, bought with cash, and put in her name only. With her life falling apart, Regan must make a split-second decision: does she tell the FBI about the house? Or does she buy some time to forge her own path to saving herself? But one compromise inevitably leads to another, and one dangerous secret builds on the next.
When her lies of omission to the FBI agents begin to raise questions, Regan becomes inextricably embroiled in John’s crimes, the true extent of which are just beginning to be revealed. Now that her comfortable life is clearly over, Regan is learning she is capable of far more than she ever imagined. She will do anything to protect herself, her children, and their future. Anything.
To protect her family, one mother’s lie of omission leads to another in this twisty, suspenseful domestic thriller, perfect for fans of Laura Dave’s The Last Thing He Told Me.
“Surprising and smart and wonderfully original, this page-turner of a thriller is completely entertaining.” ― Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today bestselling author of One Wrong Word
Review
Regan and her husband have just had a wonderful day. He has bought her a lake house and she is beyond excited. But the next day, he does not come home and the FBI are at her door. They are accusing him of stealing money from his investors. She is now on her on and navigating this terrible mess!
After a rough 24 hours Regan begins to think about her options. And she is not going to sit back and watch her world fall apart. And boy…does she take action!
This book starts out so strong and I could not stop reading. Now, it did slow down a bit in the middle. But, the hook was set and I had to see where this story was headed.
As a reader, you may not start out thinking Regan is super smart…but her true colors come out and she takes no prisoners!
