Publisher's Summary

When Claire sees Hannah Wilson at an exclusive Manhattan hair salon, it's like a knife slicing through barely healed scars. It may have been 10 years since Claire last saw Hannah, but she has thought of her every day, and not in a good way. So Claire does what anyone would do in her position - she stalks her.

Hannah is now Mrs. Carter, living the charmed life that should have been Claire's. It's the life Claire used to have before Hannah came along and took it all away from her.

Back then, Claire was a happy teenager with porcelain skin and long blond wavy hair. Now she's an overweight, lazy drunk with hair the color of compost and skin to match. And that’s why when Hannah advertises for a housekeeper, Claire is confident she can apply and not be recognized - especially since she has time on her hands, revenge on her mind, and a talent for acting....

What better way to seek retribution - and redress - than from within the beautiful Mrs. Hannah Carter's own home?

But it's not just Claire who has secrets. Everyone in that house seems to have something to hide.

And now, there's no way out.

Didn’t enjoy the narration

I felt like the voice of the main character sounded much older then the character... the character is supposed to be 24 years old but sounded like a middle aged woman... I felt like it took away from the story.

Not what I expected

Was a slow start and took a while to really get into the plot. Narrator voice didn’t fit the character description. With that said, I still had the need to finish the book...had to see it through.

Good story, Terrible narrator

Good story with a great twist, but horribly over acted. Good recommend reading over listening.

disappointed

I am not sure if the story was not well written or if it was the overdramatic performance but it took a great deal of effort to get through.

Slow to start, but picks up

Slow to start, but it picks up as the story goes it gets better and better, not the story I was expecting.

Enjoyable!

It was a good read. I totally recommend it for a light, quick mystery read.

Good story

I enjoyed the story but didn’t like the narration. The voices were too similar so I often ended up confused about who was supposed to be speaking.

Slow, but picked up a bit toward the end

It wasn’t really a surprise ending. I predicted what would happen, but it was still a fun ride overall.

surprising

Most of the time you can figure out what's coming in books of this genre, but I didn't see this ending coming. The narrator sounded too old for the main role she played, but I also thought the character seemed older than 24 based on the storyline so it didn't really bother me. I just pictured her as someone older. I really enjoyed this book!
