I just can’t catch a break with murder thrillers lately. I keep going from bad to worse to just plain silly. Well, this one is, for the most part, believable but also campy. A young couple buys a run-down house in a neighborhood they can not afford. From then on, the plot and its twists are soap opera-like. Maybe this was the author’s plan. Perhaps I would have warmer feelings if I read this one on the beach with a cocktail. Then I could laugh along with the plot.

I received this novel at no cost from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
