Look Closer
Simon and Vicky couldn’t seem more normal: a wealthy Chicago couple, he a respected law professor, she an advocate for domestic violence victims. A stable, if unexciting marriage. But one thing’s for sure … absolutely nothing is what it seems. The pair are far from normal, and one of them just may be a killer. When the body of a beautiful socialite is found hanging in a mansion in a nearby suburb, Simon and Vicky’s secrets begin to unravel. A secret whirlwind affair. A twenty-million-dollar trust fund about to come due. A decades-long grudge and obsession with revenge. These are just a few of the lies that make up the complex web...and they will have devastating consequences. And while both Vicky and Simon are liars, just who exactly is conning who? Part Gone Girl, part Strangers on a Train, Look Closer is a wild rollercoaster of a read that will have you questioning everything you think you know.

This is a masterclass in misdirection.
Just when I thought I had it all figured out—about three-quarters of the way through—the final twist had my jaw on the floor.
The writing is sharp, the pacing relentless, and the characters are layered in ways that only become fully clear in hindsight. Ellis does a brilliant job of dropping clues while still keeping the biggest reveals tucked away until just the right moment.
If you love a smart, twisty psychological thriller that keeps you guessing (and second-guessing), this one is a must-read.
Simone and Vicky are a wealthy married couple, but neither of them are truly happy. Simone runs into a woman from his past and starts an affair. Vicky is set to inherit 21 million after being married to Simone for 10 years, so she meets with a financial advisor on how to invest the money, but soon starts an affair with him. A marriage in trouble that leads to greed and the death of multiple people.
This plot was methodically executed. It had me thinking the whole time. Wheels turning, failed predictions. It was such a ride. Brilliant work!!
I did not expect all of the twist and turns from this book and i was pleasantly surprised by how I changed my tune who I wanted to come out on top. I want to look for more books by this author now!
