Most of the characters were a sort of mix of conniving and well-meaning. Avery had no boundaries but generally meant well. She was sort of half-therapist, half-detective. I received a digital and audio copy of this book via NetGalley. The narrators of the audio were excellent This was a great read. The characters are so dynamic they are interesting to get to know and follow their story. Another great storyline by these authors. Would absolutely recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Overall, I would say this is a pretty straight-forward story, as far as Psychological Thrillers go, but that doesn't make it any less fun. It’s a character-driven story, with two POVs. Avery Chambers is an unorthodox therapist who recently lost her professional license after being reported to the governing ethics committee for using unsanctioned methods. Nonetheless, she has excellent results and thereby many clients. She begins the story, introducing the reader to Marissa Bishop. Marissa has hired her because she is fearing the state of her marriage, after cheating on her husband, Matthew. Marissa and Matthew are known as the golden couple in that they appear to be perfect in every way. Perfection is always fodder for a great story.
