I am pleased to be on the tour for this read, with thanks to Penguin Michael Joseph for the opportunity.
The plot: Lore Rivera was married to two men at once, until on a baking hot day in 1986, one of them found out and shot the other.
That's the story the world knows.
It's not the story that fascinates Cassie Bowman.
Determined to know more about the mysterious Lore, true-crime writer Cassie is surprised to find Lore is willing to talk.
But as the two women get closer, Cassie finds herself confessing her own darkest secrets.
And the shocking truth behind the murder all those years ago . . .
Bobs and Books honest review:
Strap yourself in, reading this is one hell of a ride!
As you've seen from the blurb, this is tense and atmospheric. From the third line which was describing something so succinctly, this is packed full of vivid descriptions and scenarios.
This is a long read at 420 pages + and it is a slow burn of a read, but stick with it, as the second half and the last 100 pages in particular are completely captivating.
There are some difficult subject matters in this, so this is one I read slowly to digest.
Twisty, surprising.
Out now.
