EVERY LAST SECRET by A.R.TORRE
My Rating: ★★★★
Cat Winthorpe has worked hard to get what she has: a gorgeous home; social standing; and William, her successful, handsome husband.
Then Cat's husband, William, hires Neena Ryder at his company. Neena and her husband move into the estate next door. While cautious, Cat like a good neighbor, greets them with open arms and warm hospitality.
Neena isn’t a fellow lady of leisure. A life coach with off-the-rack dresses, personal issues, and a husband who hasn’t delivered, she’s anxious to move up in the world. And has firmly set her target on William.
When Neena’s infatuation escalates into obsession, it’s just a matter of eliminating a few obstacles to get the life she wants. The life next door.
For both women, the desire for a perfect life can turn perfectly dangerous.
The book begins with Neena being interrogated by the police as a possible murder suspect. Right from there I was hooked onto the plot right till the end.
This entire plot felt like a game of chess. Both the women were equally cunning and shrewd. I felt that were perfectly pitted against each other. While one was loud in her actions, the other was more calculative and organized.
At the end it came down to one big mistake- Never underestimate your opponent!
I don’t think have ever enjoyed reading any other cat fight among two women as much as I did in this book. The main reason for that being, both of the women are so unlikable. However, I was actually pleasantly surprised at the show of compassion at the end, I think for me that was unexpected.
Overall, an excellent domestic thriller!
